Procedure For Laser Skin Resurfacing
The new healthier looking skin that emerges after laser wrinkle removal
will appear between two to eight months after the surgery. The skin
should start to improve as the pinkness from the surgery begins to
fade.
The results from the surgery will last anywhere from two years
to ten years, with the best results occurring about one year after
the treatment.
Laser skin resurfacing will improve the look of the skin, but it
will not remove all wrinkles and lines. Wrinkles that are due to
facial movement will not respond to treatment as well as wrinkles
that are due to aging. It is wise to talk to your surgeon before
the procedure to learn exactly what results are normal and whether
the surgery will meet your own expectations.

When laser resurfacing for wrinkles is performed by a qualified plastic
surgeon, then the risks of serious complications should be minimized.
It is best to choose a surgeon who is experienced in laser wrinkle
removal.
Some of the possible risks and dangers include
Swelling and redness
Scarring around the treated areas
Secondary bacterial infections
Herpes simplex may become active in a person who has latent
herpes simplex
Determatitis
Hyper-pigmentation and hypo-pigmentation (changes in skin
color)
People with dark skin may develop uneven skin pigmentation
People with tissue disorders or inflammatory skin conditions are
more likely to develop scarring or adverse skin reactions.
There is a greater risk of tissue damage and other complications
when too many laser passes are made over the skin. There is some
disagreement between plastic surgeons over the amount of passes
that need to be made. Some suggest that more passes should be made
as it results in fewer wrinkles. Others think that the benefit of
additional passes in wrinkle reduction does not outweigh the greater
risk. Talk to your plastic surgeon about the amount of passes he
makes with the laser.
Conclusion
A laser wrinkle reducer treatment can greatly improve the appearance
of the skin, but it will probably not eliminate all wrinkles. Fine
wrinkles, freckles and age spots will be diminished and in some cases
eliminated. However, it is best to talk to your plastic surgeon about
your expectations and his ideas on what laser wrinkle removal surgery
can achieve for you.
