Laser skin resurfacing can treat poor texture and tone of aging skin in La Mesa, CA area patients
Even when we take care of our skin day in and day out, it is still exposed to the daily elements. Over time, the skin can become dull, discolored, and exhibit poor texture and tone. Some environmental concerns, including sun exposure, can also cause early aging skin. La Mesa, CA area patients who are considering ways to enhance their skin and combat the elements are encouraged to ask their doctor about laser skin resurfacing treatments at Grossmont Dermatology Medical Clinic.
What is laser skin resurfacing?
Poor texture and tone of the skin can cause it to look dull, tired, and aged. Men and women interested in the rejuvenation of their facial skin can discuss with their doctor the advantages of laser skin resurfacing. Laser skin resurfacing is a special anti-aging treatment that can be used by adult men and women to achieve better texture and tone. Laser skin resurfacing can also address a wide range of common skin concerns, including:
- Acne blemishes
- Acne scarring
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Sun damage / sunspots
- Uneven pigmentation
- Dry/oily skin
- Large pores
- Skin laxity
Using laser light, the treatment penetrates deep into the skin of the face and helps in stimulating the skin’s natural process of collagen and elastin production to tighten the skin and give it a more youthful appearance. At the same time, the laser can treat the upper layer of the skin and allow for new skin cells to come forth. With both increased collagen and elastin and treatment of the superficial layer of skin, patients will experience a complete transformation in the appearance and health of their skin. Acne and Acne scarring are reduced, sun damage is improved, and the skin’s texture and tone are balanced and beautiful.

Is there downtime associated with laser skin resurfacing?
This depends on the type of laser treatment obtained and the level of treatment the patient chooses. More aggressive laser treatments can provide more dramatic results with fewer sessions, but also require patients to take time off work, school, and social activities to allow the skin to heal properly. However, less aggressive laser treatments may require a day or two of downtime before returning to regular activities. Patients should discuss the aftercare of the treatment they choose to understand better what is expected afterward.
