What Is Laser Facial Resurfacing?

Laser facial resurfacing is a procedure designed to rejuvenate the skin by removing damaged layers and stimulating new growth. It uses devices such as carbon dioxide (CO₂) or Erbium lasers to:

• Reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
• Improve skin tone and texture.
• Minimise scars.
• Soften lines around the mouth and eyes.
• Resurfaces several layers of damaged skin.

This treatment can improve pigmentation irregularities and provide a more youthful appearance.

When performed by a qualified plastic surgeon, forehead lifts are considered safe and effective. However, as with all procedures, there are risks that should be discussed with your surgeon.

Who Is It For?

Laser resurfacing may be considered by patients who:

• Have fine lines, wrinkles, or sun-damaged skin.
• Wish to improve facial scars or uneven tone.
• Are in good general health.
• Have realistic expectations about gradual and long-term improvements.

Preparation

Before treatment, patients usually undergo:

• A detailed medical history and physical examination.
• Smoking cessation.
• Avoidance of medications or supplements that increase bleeding risk.
• Use of pre-treatment skincare as recommended by the surgeon.
