Laser Skin Resurfacing
Laser skin resurfacing at Brookridge Internal Medicine Associates is a nonsurgical cosmetic treatment that uses a fractional pixel laser to exfoliate dead and damaged skin layers. This treatment is great for addressing facial wrinkles and lines, as well as improving skin irregularities, like pigmentation, acne scars, and more. Also called a laser peel, laser skin resurfacing is an ideal treatment for patients who want clearer, softer, younger-looking skin. We can adjust the strength of the laser based on your unique skin needs. There is some downtime required with most laser skin resurfacing procedures. Any concerns or questions can be discussed with Dr. Brenda Vozza during your consultation in Longview, TX.

Who Is A Candidate for Laser Skin Resurfacing?
Candidates for laser skin resurfacing are in good health but have specific cosmetic concerns that they want to address. A consultation is the best time to decide if this treatment is the best option for your needs. Brookridge Internal Medicine Associates can address signs of aging like wrinkles as well as sun damage, hyperpigmentation, and acne scars. Inform Dr. Vozza about any conditions or medications that make your skin sensitive to light. Our goal is to achieve the safest and most effective results possible.
How Is Laser Skin Resurfacing Performed?
If you’re having a deeper skin resurfacing treatment, you may be asked to use a retinoid product for 2 – 3 weeks beforehand. This helps prepare the skin for maximum results. Medication may be prescribed before your appointment to help increase your comfort. If your skin doesn’t need a strong treatment, topical anesthesia will be applied to numb treated areas. During your treatment, you will relax in our treatment chair while the laser handpiece passes over your skin, precisely targeting the needed sections for resurfacing. You will feel the heat from the laser, followed by cold air from the built-in cooling system. The laser energy is designed to destroy dead and damaged skin cells while also stimulating natural collagen production.
