Laser skin resurfacing (also known as "laser peel") is the high-tech method for removing the outer layers of damaged, aged skin to reveal the healthy, youthful skin underneath. This technique is used to remove or greatly reduce a variety of skin conditions for men and women of all ages, such as:

• Facial wrinkles, crow's feet, aging skin
• Sun damage
• Acne and other types of scarring
• Surgical scarring and incisions, skin and pre-skin cancers
• Sun-induced brown liver and lighter brown spots
• Areas of uneven pigmentation and blemishes
• Uneven skin texture
• Lax or sagging skin

Dr. Geroulis uses a precise, thin high-powered laser beam to vaporize the upper layers of the skin at specific and controlled levels of penetration. This removes damaged outer layers of the skin and stimulates the lower layers to produce new collagen. As new cells form during the healing process, smoother, tighter, fresher-looking skin is formed. The entire face or targeted areas can be resurfaced: lines and wrinkles around the eyes and mouth can be smoothed. Deep laugh lines and creases around the forehead can be softened.

During your consultation, you, Dr. Geroulis and his team of aestheticians will discuss your commitment to skin care and analyze your current regimen. In certain cases, you may be required to treat the skin prior to the procedure and/or change your skin-care regimen before and after your procedure.

You will quickly notice a significant improvement in the quality and appearance of your skin. Signs of continuing improvement will usually occur for 6 to 12 months. The result is healthier, tighter, smoother and even-toned skin, with a noticeable reduction in wrinkles. Skin translucency, characteristic of youthful skin, is restored.
