Treatment For Wrinkles And Blemishes

Aesthetic laser treatments have evolved dramatically over the last two decades, and Dr. Bass has been at the forefront of this progress as an innovator, researcher and teacher. Laser skin resurfacing is an effective treatment for problems a facelift does not address, such as dark spots, blemishes, and fixed or static wrinkles (wrinkles not caused by repetitive motions like laughing or frowning - these are referred to as dynamic wrinkles).

Laser Skin Resurfacing Explained

Dr. Bass is skilled in the application of quite a few laser skin resurfacing treatments. The overall effect of a resurfacing treatment is to remove and replace a portion of the skin surface. This can be done immediately by vaporizing the surface of the skin down to a certain depth (ablative resurfacing) or by thermally coagulating tissue to a certain depth. The affected tissue is turned over and replaced by new skin during healing, similar to what happens in a chemical peel -

but without a raw surface immediately following the treatment. In addition, there are fractional treatments of both types which place tiny pinpoints of light with skip areas in between. Combinations of the depth and degree of coverage of laser treatments allow a lot of flexibility to an expert to create a treatment from very light to very heavy depending on the type and degree of aging changes present and the extent of recovery time which fits into your lifestyle.

Some examples of commonly used ablative resurfacing treatments in Dr. Bass’ practice include Sciton Joule Erbium: YAG, and Sciton ProFractional Erbium: YAG. Non-ablative, fractional laser treatments have minimal recovery time but are typically performed as a series of treatments for earlier stages of aging. Tixel, Fraxel ReStore, and PicoSure Focus are examples of such treatments used at Dr. Bass' clinics. Dr. Bass works with each patient to select the laser treatment appropriate for their needs.

What To Expect After Laser Skin Resurfacing

Ablative/non-fractional laser skin treatments require about a week to heal, and the skin will look smoother and less wrinkled almost immediately. Blemishes and imperfections will be minimized or eliminated. Dr. Bass prioritizes safety and tracks each patient's healing progress to ensure complications are effectively handled if they arise.

Results for non-ablative/fractional laser treatments take longer to manifest; patients don't see changes until the new skin cells replace the old ones, which can take a few weeks to a month. This method requires almost no downtime and has relatively few complications when compared to ablative laser treatments.

Are Laser Treatments Appropriate For You?

Full facial rejuvenation necessitates a well-rounded plan that includes a variety of surgical and non-surgical options. Laser skin treatments improve skin quality and reduce fixed wrinkles, fine lines, and blemishes. Fixed wrinkles are an obvious sign of aging; clearing away or minimizing wrinkles takes years off your appearance.
