Laser Resurfacing Overview
This hub is about laser resurfacing, for readers in Rye who are weighing a laser or living with the result of one. It starts from a plain definition. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons says laser skin resurfacing, also known as a laser peel, laser vaporization and lasabrasion, can reduce facial wrinkles, scars and blemishes.
Other publishers describe the same treatment. A plastic surgery society keeps a page on laser skin resurfacing, and a dermatologic surgery society has its own laser resurfacing page. A hospital system covers the carbon dioxide laser resurfacing type specifically, and a dermatology reference site carries an entry on laser resurfacing.
The guides under laser resurfacing
Two guides sit here. Each one narrows the topic to a single question.
- Non Ablative Laser Rejuvenation looks at the non-ablative approach to laser rejuvenation.
- Laser Skin Resurfacing Candidates looks at who counts as a candidate for laser skin resurfacing.
Candidates first, or straight to a clinician
If you are still deciding whether a laser is right for you, open the guide on candidates first. If you have already had a treatment and something looks wrong, call the clinician who treated you rather than waiting for a guide to answer it.
