How is Laser Resurfacing Done?
You will be given intravenous sedation for a full face resurfacing procedure. After you drift off to sleep, the doctor will position the laser to apply quick intense bursts across your quick intense bursts across your skin. As the laser contacts your skin, it vaporizes the first layer or wrinkles. The doctor may then opt to pass the laser one or more times over deeper wrinkles. During this time, collagen is automatically tightened. After the surgeon is finished, a therapeutic dressing will be applied to cover your new skin.
