As people grow older, the skin cells do not get replaced as
rapidly as they once did, only getting replaced every sixty days rather
than every thirty days. This leaves the skin with a dull appearance making
wrinkles and other blemishes seem more pronounced due to the slower
replacement process in older skin. Along with this, due to different
facial expressions used throughout the day, it causes the skin to fold
over again and again the places in the same places creating wrinkles. This
is because of the way that the skin 'remembers' where it previously
creased leaving a wrinkle even when that certain expression is not being
made. Laser wrinkle treatments are a way to help to resurface the skin so
that wrinkles and other blemishes can be diminished or eliminated at least
for a certain period of time.How Laser Wrinkle Treatment WorksLaser
wrinkle treatment is a new wrinkle treatment consisting of different types
of lasers which are used to resurface the skin and eliminate certain
blemishes and wrinkles. Depending on the type of skin you have and the
type of laser you use will influence the type of laser used. There are CO2
and erbium lasers which are used in laser wrinkle treatment that removes
damaged skin cells so that the newer skin cells underneath are exposed,
making the skin look fresh and new again. This type of laser wrinkle
treatment helps to tighten the skin that remains and, since the damaged
and old skin cells are vaporized, the skin appears smoother and has a
better color to it. There is another type of laser wrinkle treatment that
only uses an N-Lite laser which does not vaporize skin cells. However,
this form of laser wrinkle treatment serves to stimulate collagen
production which helps with the skins elasticity and smoothness.With laser
wrinkle treatment, there are often multiple treatments needed in order to
produce the results that are desired. Examples of this would be if the
dynamic wrinkles are deeper or the scarring from acne is intense, then
there are multiple treatments that are needed to help remove the problem
areas. There are drawbacks with laser wrinkle treatment as it is not
always a painless process. In fact, it is actually considered an out
patient surgery where topical anesthesia is used to numb the area being
treated and the person will need pain medication after the laser wrinkle
treatment for up to four days. The area that has been exposed to the laser
wrinkle treatment can swell and seem burned, so they can ooze and hurt for
up to two weeks after the treatment.
