WHAT IS LASER SKIN RESURFACING?
Laser skin resurfacing is a nonsurgical aesthetic treatment that exfoliates damaged skin cells layer by layer using the state-of-the-art FemiLift Pixel CO2 laser. The treatment smooths out facial lines and wrinkles and gently removes skin blemishes, including pigmentation and acne scars. Also known as a laser peel, skin resurfacing is an effective facial treatment for patients who want softer, clearer, more youthful-looking skin. The treatment can be adjusted for optimal results, depending on your unique skin type. The majority of laser skin resurfacing procedures do require some recovery time. At Revival Aesthetics and Wellness in Spanish Fork, UT, our team can address any concerns or questions during your initial consultation.
SKIN RESURFACING TREATMENT FAQ
How much does laser skin resurfacing cost?
Laser resurfacing costs will depend on the type of treatment you select. In your consultation, we will work with you to determine what your goals are for your skin and then develop a treatment plan accordingly. Revival Aesthetics and Wellness often offers skin treatment specials and packages so be sure to ask about those during your appointment.
What’s the best type of resurfacing for me?
Our team of experts will help you decide which resurfacing option best fits your needs during your initial consultation. It will depend on the conditions and problems specific to your skin and the depth to which you want the treatment to reach. Recovery time may also be a consideration when choosing your treatment type. When in doubt, it is sometimes best to choose a lighter treatment first, and then adjust as needed for any follow-up appointments.
How can I help my skin recover after a resurfacing treatment?
We will give you recommendations on how you can speed up the healing process. By using the FemiLift Pixel CO2 laser, recovery times tend to be short. We advise against peeling or picking treated skin. This could lead to long-term damage, including scars. You should also avoid hair removal on the treated skin, including waxing, shaving, or removal creams. We will recommend an ointment to help soothe and heal treated areas.
Should I get laser skin resurfacing, a chemical peel, or dermabrasion?
Once we have determined your specific skin conditions, our team will help you decide if laser skin resurfacing, a chemical peel, or dermabrasion treatment is right for you. Although they can all correct certain skin issues, each method has its own benefits and drawbacks. We’ll go through those in detail during your initial consultation to help you make the best possible choice.
How often should I get laser resurfacing treatments?
Depending on the type of treatment you receive, you may need to wait several weeks or even a few months between appointments. Deeper laser treatments will provide longer-lasting results. However, they also require a longer recovery period. Be prepared to tell us how often you are willing to return for appointments, and we’ll take that into account when developing your resurfacing plan during your initial consultation at our office in Spanish Fork, UT.
