Before Deciding Upon Laser Skin Wrinkle Treatment Atlanta GA Residents Need Professional Advice

By Deborah Butler


From the earliest ages people have gone to great lengths to look more attractive and young. In this modern day and age it sometimes seem as if career and social success depends to a great deal on how one looks. People, both men and women, spend a great deal of money on treatments and even surgery to look their best at all times. Those that can afford it have many options but when opting for laser skin wrinkle treatment Atlanta GA residents opt for a tried and tested method.

Resurfacing, as this method is also called, is used in a wide variety of applications, mostly on the face. It is effective in removing the scars of acne and it is highly effective in treating age spots and an uneven skin tone. Resurfacing is also used to lessen the visibility of lines, especially those around the eyes. However, patients must not expect spectacular results overnight.

Many people undergo this procedure at their regular beauty salons, but experts strongly advise that it is best to first consult with a dermatologist or a plastic surgeon. The procedure is not suitable for everybody and certain types of medication, for example, can have an adverse effect upon the outcome after the procedure. Not all practitioners are so careful in assessing their clients.

Most people opt for several shorter sessions, about half an hour each, to treat various areas of their face. More extensive work, covering several areas in one session, may take up to two hours and require a much longer recovery period. After the procedure, the patient has to be meticulous in cleaning the affected area at least four or five times a day. This will prevent complications and scabs from developing.

The procedure is deemed to be safe, but it is still an invasive procedure. Patients can expect swelling, especially around the eyes, but this can be treated by the use of ice packs. Many patients also report severe itching or even stinging. This is normal and will be over within a day or three. About a week after the procedure, the treated skin will dry and peel. Patients must expect this development.

Patients also need to understand that treated area may remain extremely sensitive to the sun for up to a year. It is vital that they apply a good sun block whenever they venture outside. This will not only protect the treated area, but it will help prevent the development of cancer and further signs of premature ageing. Patients are also advised to be careful when buying and using cosmetics and to stop using products that cause irritation, itching or discolouration.

Choosing a practitioner to perform the procedure should be undertaken with circumspect. Inexperienced practitioners using out of date equipment can cause a great deal of damage and discomfort. Patients must make sure that the chosen practitioner is not only properly trained in performing the procedure, but also in the use of his equipment.

Resurfacing has become an extremely popular method to get rid of unwanted blemishes and signs of premature ageing. It is important, however, to understand that the signs of old age can never be completely eliminated or prevented. It is equally important to understand that even minimal invasive procedures hold certain dangers of complications and unpleasant side effects.
