Laser skin resurfacing is a kind of treatment done for skin tightening, to remove the wrinkles that are present on the skin, and to also offer a treatment for acne scar treatment, there are many lasers available in the market today. What laser might be available for the Caucasian skin or an Indian skin may not be the same for the Indian skin patient the reasons for this is Indian skin has a lot of melanin in the skin and the melanin in the skin can cause a lot of hyperpigmentation especially if the laser is very aggressive. So when we are talking about laser skin resurfacing, we are talking about an Abalative or a Nonabalative Fractional Laser System, which is going to cause some amount of irritation and damage to the skin and cause new skin formation. So for this we apply an anesthetic cream and apply the laser, post which we develop some redness that stays for about 3 days to 7 days depend on the laser system used. after this the healing of the skin starts, usually the healing of the starts in about 1 month to about 6 to 8 weeks after the laser system treatment. So usually the laser system treatments are repeated every 6 to 8 weeks for a minimum of 4 to 8 treatments to get much better treatments of a cumulative result and your best result starts to show about 3 sessions after your laser skin resurfacing and it starts to show smoothing of the skin and starts to look less apparent and the skin looks tighter and younger. So be sure you are maintain the intervals between your session for 6 to 8 weeks. Make sure you are following the sunscreen sued and the emollient used that your doctor has prescribed and make sure you are regular with your compliance and complelete the number of sessions .
