How Does Laser Resurfacing Work?

Laser resurfacing and revitalization procedures with Excel V+ are advanced skin rejuvenation treatments that utilize targeted laser energy to remove damaged skin cells and stimulate the body’s natural healing process. By precisely controlling the wavelength and intensity of the laser, we can address various skin concerns, from hyperpigmentation and sun spots to fine lines and acne scars. This process not only removes imperfections but also encourages new collagen production, resulting in smoother, firmer and more radiant skin.

Excel V+ is a non-ablative laser, meaning it targets issues like discoloration precisely, without damaging the top layer of skin. As a result, minimal downtime is required compared to more invasive lasers.

Your Laser Skin Resurfacing Treatment

Results

Laser skin resurfacing revitalizes the skin by reducing the appearance of wrinkles, scars, sun damage, and uneven skin tone. This advanced treatment promotes the growth of new, healthy skin cells, leading to a smoother, more youthful complexion. It’s particularly effective for facial skin but can be applied to other areas showing signs of aging or damage.

How We Do It

The procedure employs precise laser technology to remove the outer layers of damaged skin, while simultaneously heating the underlying skin (dermis). This process stimulates collagen production, essential for the skin’s firmness and elasticity. A consultation prior to treatment allows for a customized approach, selecting the appropriate laser type (ablative or non-ablative) and treatment intensity based on your skin condition and desired results. The treatment can be targeted to specific problem areas or applied to the entire face.

Side Effects

Following laser skin resurfacing, it’s common to experience redness, swelling, and a sensation similar to a mild sunburn. Peeling and flaking of the treated skin are also normal as the skin rejuvenates. These side effects typically subside within a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on the intensity of the treatment and individual healing processes. It’s crucial to follow post-treatment care instructions, such as applying moisturizer and sunscreen, to support healing and protect the new skin.

Time to Full Effect

While some improvements may be noticeable immediately after the skin heals, the full benefits of laser skin resurfacing, including smoother, firmer skin and reduced imperfections, become more apparent in the following months. This is due to the ongoing collagen production and skin renewal process. Optimal results are usually observed within 3 to 6 months post-treatment. For more extensive concerns, multiple sessions may be necessary to achieve the desired outcome, with each session spaced several weeks to months apart, allowing for full healing and evaluation of results. Regular maintenance treatments can further enhance and prolong the rejuvenation effects.

Instructions

Proper preparation can enhance the effectiveness of any treatment, ensuring optimal targeting. While following aftercare guidelines is crucial for the best outcomes and minimizing side effects.

Before Treatment

Consult with a specialist: Have a detailed discussion about your skin concerns, goals, and the specific laser treatment plan.
Avoid sun exposure: Protect your skin from the sun for at least 4 weeks prior to treatment to minimize the risk of complications.
Pause certain skincare products: Discontinue use of retinol, AHA/BHA, and any other potentially irritating skincare ingredients as advised by your provider, typically a week before.
No smoking: Smoking can impede the healing process, so it’s advised to quit or reduce smoking a few weeks before and after treatment.
Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin in good condition for the procedure.

Post Treatment

Plan for downtime: Depending on the intensity of the laser treatment, expect several days to a week of downtime as your skin heals.
Follow aftercare instructions: Use the prescribed skincare products and follow the specific aftercare regimen provided by your specialist.
Protect your skin from the sun: Post-treatment skin is highly sensitive to the sun. Use a high SPF sunscreen and minimize sun exposure to prevent hyperpigmentation.
Expect redness and swelling: These are normal reactions. Ice packs or cool compresses can help reduce swelling.
Avoid picking: As your skin heals, avoid picking at peeling or flaking skin to prevent scarring.
Stay hydrated: Continue to drink plenty of water to support the healing process.

Conditions We Treat with Laser Treatments

Active Acne

Combat active breakouts with precision-targeted treatments designed to tackle acne at its source. By reducing inflammation and targeting the bacteria that contribute to acne development, these treatments help to clear existing blemishes and prevent new ones from forming. The result is clearer, healthier-looking skin with a reduced likelihood of future breakouts.

Acne scars

Transform your skin’s texture and appearance with treatments specifically aimed at reducing acne scars. By promoting new collagen production and encouraging the natural healing processes of the skin, these treatments help to fill in and smooth out the indents and irregularities caused by past acne.

Hyperpigmentation

Address hyperpigmentation with targeted treatments that even out skin tone and reduce the appearance of dark spots. These treatments work by breaking down the excess pigment in the skin, leading to a reduction in visible sun spots and patches. Over time, the skin becomes more even in tone, with a noticeable improvement in clarity and luminosity.

Skin tightening

Revitalize your skin with non-invasive skin tightening treatments that restore elasticity and firmness. By stimulating collagen and elastin production, these treatments help to lift and firm sagging skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and creating a more youthful and contoured look.

Fine lines and wrinkles

Turn back the clock on aging skin with treatments designed to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Through stimulating collagen production and smoothing the skin’s surface, these treatments work to soften and reduce the depth of wrinkles, promoting a smoother, more refreshed complexion, with a noticeable reduction in the signs of aging.

Before & Afters

After just one session, you’ll notice a refreshed and smoother complexion. Continued treatments yield cumulative benefits, with the most dramatic results visible after a full treatment course.

Ideal Candidates for Laser Resurfacing

Ideal candidates are men and women of all ages and skin types looking to address concerns such as:

Active acne
Acne scars
Benign pigmented lesions
Dark spots and sun spots
Fine lines
Freckles
Melasma
Moles
Spider veins
Stretch marks

Individuals with diabetes, a history of keloid scarring, vitiligo and certain other conditions should use caution when getting laser treatments. Be sure to discuss your complete medical history with your provider.

What to Expect from Your Laser Procedure

Your path to rejuvenated skin with laser resurfacing treatments is designed to be a comfortable, effective experience. Here’s what you can anticipate:

Consultation

First, we’ll discuss your skin concerns, evaluate your skin type and outline your aesthetic goals. This personalized approach helps us tailor the treatment to your specific needs, ensuring the best possible outcomes.

Procedure

On the day of your treatment, a topical anesthetic may be applied to minimize discomfort. The Excel V+ laser is then expertly maneuvered over the target areas, delivering precise laser energy to address skin imperfections. The device’s cooling technology keeps the skin comfortable throughout the session, which typically lasts between 30 minutes to an hour.

Recovery

After the procedure, you may experience some redness and swelling, akin to a mild sunburn, which generally subsides within a few days. We’ll provide you with detailed aftercare instructions, including the importance of sunscreen, reducing sun exposure and using gentle skin care products to aid in the healing process.

Follow-ups

Follow-up appointments are key to monitor your progress and assess the need for additional sessions. Optimal results are often achieved after a series of treatments, with improvements becoming more evident over time as new collagen is produced and targeted blemishes have time to fade.

How Much Does Laser Resurfacing Cost?

The cost of laser treatments with Excel V+ varies based on treatment scope, areas treated and individual skin conditions. Contact MD365 Aesthetics to discuss our pricing and any ongoing promotions.

How Does Excel V+ Compare to Other Laser Skin Resurfacing Treatments?

The Excel V+ stands out from other laser technologies like CO2 lasers, Fraxel and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) due to its balance between gentleness and effectiveness.

CO2 and Fraxel lasers–respectively, ablative and fractionated laser systems–vaporize and remodel the skin’s surface. Conversely, Excel V+ is a non-ablative laser. This means it targets the skin’s deeper layers without harming the surface, offering a gentler approach with minimal downtime. And unlike IPL, which uses a broad spectrum of light, Excel V+ uses a precise wavelength of laser energy, making it highly targeted with enhanced safety and effectiveness for a variety of skin types.

This specificity and nonablative nature make Excel V+ an ideal choice if you’re seeking effective results with very little recovery time and lower risk of complications.

Is laser resurfacing with Excel V+ safe for all skin tones?

Excel V+ is designed with versatility in mind, making it suitable for a broad range of skin tones. However, individual assessments are key to ensure the best and safest outcomes, especially for darker skin tones where there’s a higher risk of pigmentation changes.

The number of Excel V+ sessions needed varies based on the individual’s skin condition and treatment goals. Some may see significant improvements in as few as one to two treatments, while others may require a series of sessions to achieve their desired outcomes.
