If you have been considering having a Skin Resurfacing treatment, now may be the time to do it. Fall and winter can be the best time for many patients to have facial skin resurfacing treatments such as Laser, Portrait, chemical peels, and dermabrasion.
With summer coming to an end the amount of time spent on outdoor activities tends to decline. Daily exposure to the suns harmful rays is also reduced as the days become shorter and thus less bright, which is crucial for proper healing of the resurfaced skin. Also many holidays during these months allow for a convenient recovery and healing time.
Skin Resurfacing can treat not only wrinkles but also sun-damaged skin, growths, acne scarring, and other conditions. Skin resurfacing enables the precise removal of superficial skin layers without surgery. It also tightens collagen fibers below the skin making the outer visible skin tighter and more youthful in appearance and texture.
Depending on the depth of the Skin Resurfacing, healing times among the different procedure vary. Mild redness of the skin and peeling is quite normal and expected. Patients can expect anywhere from 5- 10 days or so of recovery time. Skin Resurfacing provides excellent results and lasts for many years after the initial treatment.
