Are You a Plausible Candidate for Laser Skin Care Treatment?

By: Beth Ibarra

Everyone has something about their skin that they would like to change. Perhaps years of having acne have left deep scars that cannot even be covered by makeup. Or, perhaps the skin tone is uneven. As a person ages, it only makes sense that the appearance of wrinkles and age spots become a main source of worry, too.

While people have had these problems for centuries, they could not do anything about them, but now there are medical procedures like skin rejuvenation, Fraxel, and Microdermabrasion. Lasers have been used for various procedures for many years now, since they can treat many different things. Fraxel involves taking an advanced form of a laser, and treating many of the skin conditions that people have always wanted to be rid of.

Other procedures such as Micordermabrasion also offer this option in the form of eliminating damaged skin from the outermost layer and part of the dermal layer as well. Fraxel divides the skin area into zones of a microscopic size, because any skin problems that a person has have been caused by damaged skin cells within the epidermal tissue.

Thus, skin rejuvenation procedure often focus on treating the epidermal layer (meaning the bottom one) without affecting the regular tissue around the damaged area at all. Thus, the healing time after the procedure is reduced, and the growth of new, healthy skin tissue to overtake the damaged tissue is promoted.

Fraxel, similar to dermabrasion in its end results to some extent, combines the intensity of other kinds of lasers with results that are very non-invasive. In fact, if a woman were to have this procedure, since it focuses on the deeper parts of the skin tissue, rather than the surface layers, she can actually apply makeup immediately afterwards.

Dermabrasion treatments are more invasive usually and require longer healing periods. Also, people who have skin rejuvenation performed may wish to consider how each treatment will affect their ability to return to regular activities. Furthermore, some treatments allow for minimal healing, with more gradual treatment results, while others require more healing periods with more dramatic results with just one treatment.

Certain skin rejuvenation treatments require multiple sessions, such as Fraxel. Optimal results are achieved after an average of five sessions, each of which are spaced out over a period of a couple of months. Other treatments may only require one or two treatments to get the same results, but the healing periods are longer.

Certain procedures may take less than a half hour, such as with Fraxel. As for why a person might need skin rejuvenation in the first place, it is very important to note that most skin damage is done by the effects of the sun. The sun, in moderation, is good for people to get some Vitamin D, but too much exposure to the sun results in lots of damaged skin cells, which skin care procedures may fix.

You can easily spot a person who has had too much sun exposure, because the skin will take on a leathery look, complete with lots of wrinkles. Thus, it is very important immediately following each procedure that the patient pays special attention to wearing sunscreen of an SPF of 30 or above.
