Laser Skin Resurfacing – The Woodlands

For a clearer, younger-looking complexion, many men and women in the Houston area turn to laser skin resurfacing. Dr. Kim offers safe, effective laser skin resurfacing to treat conditions such as the following:

  • Fine wrinkles
  • Skin discoloration
  • Age spots
  • Scars
  • Other superficial skin imperfections.

An alternative to dermabrasion or chemical peels, laser resurfacing uses a CO2 laser to ablate the skin and remove imperfections that are on the surface. Collagen growth is also stimulated to produce a long-term cosmetic improvement.

How Co2 Laser Treatment Works

Using a CO2 laser, Dr. Kim carefully targets problem skin areas, causing the damaged layers to begin to peel away and reveal the fresher skin beneath. Similar in principle to dermabrasion and chemical peels, laser resurfacing penetrates deeper into the skin than other techniques, for better anti-aging results. Depending upon the extent of the damage, several treatments still may be needed. The procedure is generally performed under local anesthesia for optimal comfort, and can last from a few minutes to an hour or more.

After Your Laser Skin Resurfacing Treatment

Though the results of laser skin resurfacing are not immediate, they are dramatic and long-lasting. Patients will experience redness, swelling and crusting for approximately 10 days after treatment as the skin goes through the healing process. But the eventual improvements in tone and texture offer a refreshed, youthful look patients say they are proud to show off for years to come after treatment.

Though laser skin resurfacing, The Woodlands, is safe and effective, it should only be performed by a qualified plastic surgeon. Dr. Sugene Kim offers safe, effective laser skin resurfacing, as well as numerous other rejuvenating treatments to her Houston area patients.
