Laser Resurfacing Devices; Help Improve the Skin's Appearance or Treat Minor Facial Flaws
Laser resurfacing devices are used to treat several skin
problems such as facial wrinkles and acne scars. Laser resurfacing is a facial
rejuvenation procedure that uses a laser to improve the skin's appearance or
treat minor facial flaws. It helps reduce facial wrinkles and blemishes or acne
scars (skin irregularities). Laser resurfacing removes skin layer by layer with
precision. The new skin cells that form during healing give the skin a tighter,
younger looking surface. It can be done alone or with other cosmetic surgeries
on the face.

Analysis, 2022-2028.
Laser resurfacing devices are by far the most effective at
reducing fine lines and wrinkles and balancing or removing skin discoloration.
It is the best option for most patients thanks to the relatively short
treatment time, long-lasting results, and proven rejuvenating effects.
Treatment is quick and involves little to no discomfort. Laser resurfacing
removes skin very precisely, layer-by-layer by vaporizing it. Lasers remove the
outer layer of the skin (epidermis) and heats the underlying layer, called the
dermis.
The lasers stimulate the growth of new collagen fibers
resulting in new skin that is smoother and firmer. Laser resurfacing devices
can also treat loss of skin tone and improve complexion. Laser resurfacing cannot
eliminate excessive or sagging skin. On average, most patients get to enjoy
silky-smooth skin that lasts for anywhere between three and five years after
undergoing laser therapy. While, many patients maintain treatments by returning
every so often for a touch-up or supplementary skin treatment.
A common misconception is that laser resurfacing is only
safe for light skin types. While it is true that certain lasers pose a higher
risk for cell damage or discoloration in darker skin, there are safe and
effective resurfacing options. In July 2021, Alma received the U.S. FDA 510(k)
clearance of its Alma Hybrid laser. This laser platform is the first to include
an ablative 10,600 nm (CO2) laser and nonablative 1570 nm laser for skin
resurfacing. This allows physicians to select customized treatment patterns by
combining both wavelengths.
