How Does Laser Resurfacing Work?

Depending on the condition being treated, as well as the size of the area, a local anesthesia, regional anesthesia, or light sedation will be used during the treatment. The doctor then perform single or multiple passes at various depths that are agreed upon at the consultation. Depending on the skin type and condition to be treated we can use CO2 or erbium lasers or a combination of both. Immediately after the procedure your doctor will apply a thin film of petroluem jelly or medicated ointment.
