Laser skin resurfacing is a non-invasive procedure approved by the FDA to treat a wide range of skin imperfections, including skin laxity. It is important to remember that there are different kinds of laser skin resurfacing, with each laser addressing different aesthetic issues.
Some lasers carefully peel away the damaged outer layers of the skin, revealing healthier, more youthful-looking skin beneath. Laser therapies can also stimulate the production of collagen, a naturally occurring substance that helps keep skin healthy and radiant.
Here at CAMI, we use the Sciton laser, which works by removing the top layers of skin, revealing healthier layers. We consider this to be one of the best laser treatments overall, particularly for patients who are hoping to correct the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, blotches, or acne scars. Additionally, because the new layers of skin that form tend to be tighter than the old layers of skin, Sciton can be an effective tool to correct sagginess.
