WHAT IS LASER RESURFACING?

As we get older, our skin begins to show the effects of sun damage, decreased collagen production, and other factors that cause visible signs of aging. If your complexion appears dull and/or if you have unwanted brown spots, fine lines, and wrinkles, the aesthetics experts at Rainier Laser & Aesthetics Center can help.

Our highly trained aestheticians offer customizable laser resurfacing treatments to revitalize aging and/or damaged skin. Cosmetic laser technology works to trigger your body’s natural healing response, which can improve your complexion by increasing collagen production and restoring a more youthful glow. The advanced skin resurfacing laser used by our aesthetic experts uses two wavelengths (ablative and non-ablative) to target your skin concerns on multiple levels.

Before the treatment, a topical numbing cream will be applied to your skin. You should feel minimal or no discomfort as the laser device’s handpiece gently glides across your skin. Simultaneously, a cool air chiller will blow for additional comfort.

After the treatment, most patients will continue to feel a warm sensation in the treated area for about 60 minutes, or a bit longer with deeper treatment levels. You will be provided with aftercare instructions and products to use for the crusting period.

Benefits of our laser resurfacing treatments include:

• Low Downtime – Patients can enjoy normal social activities within several days, and there is no heavy or time-intensive post-care. Recovery after laser skin resurfacing treatments is considered more comfortable than recovery from traditional fractional resurfacing.

• Amazing Results – Initial results are often noticeable within days, with continued improvements over time. Laser skin resurfacing can rejuvenate the overall appearance of the skin by minimizing fine lines and wrinkles, reducing pore size, and removing discoloration.
