What Is Laser Skin Resurfacing?
Firstly laser skin resurfacing is a cosmetic surgical procedure. It is call a skin rejuvenating procedure and use by people who want to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines or visible scars.
What does laser skin resurfacing do?
Laser skin resurfacing is a thermal photorejuvenation technique, that removes old skin cells using heat produced by a laser. The skin resurfacing procedure removes the outer layers of the skin. This stimulates the body to create new skin cells, which can change the appearance of skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles, scars and other irregularities.
So the laser technique also heats the underlying skin layers and causes the collagen fibres which bind skin together, to tighten, giving skin a more toned look. Therefore it’s important to be aware that the procedure will not make your skin look young again, and it won’t prevent future ageing. But it can reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
Skin rejuvenating procedures can be classified into:
- Thermal (including laser skin resurfacing);
- Chemical (commonly referred to as a ‘chemical peel’),
- Mechanical (e.g. dermabrasion);
- Injection (including anti-wrinkle injectables)
- Light treatments (in which intense beams of light are applied to the skin).

Two main types of lasers
There are two main types of lasers that can be used to execute the procedure, the carbon dioxide laser and erbium laser. The type of laser used depends on the surgeon performing the procedure and the country where you obtain the treatment. In general, the erbium and carbon dioxide laser are quite similar where treatment and results are concerned. Therefore, the choice of the laser is usually made based on a recommendation from your cosmetic surgeon.
