Charlotte Laser Skin Resurfacing

Laser Skin Resurfacing

Also known as “laser peel,” laser skin resurfacing usually takes less than 1½ hours (sometimes just a few minutes) depending on the size of the area being treated. The procedure uses a carbon dioxide (CO2) laser beam which vaporizes the upper layers of damaged skin at controlled levels of penetration. Also used is Erbium Laser beam.

The procedure removes areas of damaged or wrinkled skin often caused by prolonged sun exposure. Laser resurfacing can minimize the appearance of fine lines around the mouth and the eyes and is also effective in treating facial scars and skin areas with uneven pigmentation.

Other procedures done in our office are sclerotherapy, Botox, TCA peels, glycolic acid peels and BioMedic peels.
