Laser Skin Resurfacing, sometimes called Laser Peel, is the new "high tech" method for removing the outer layers of damaged, aged skin to reveal the healthy, youthful skin underneath. This technique is effectively used to remove or greatly reduce a variety of skin conditions for men and women of all ages, such as:

• Facial wrinkled skin, "crows feet" or aging skin
• Sun damaged skin
• Acne scarring or other types of facial and body scars
• Surgical scarring and incisions, as well as skin cancers and pre-skin cancers
• Sun induced brown "liver spots" and lighter brown spots
• Areas of uneven pigmentation and blemishes
• Uneven skin texture
• Lax or sagging skin

Laser Skin Resurfacing employs a precise thin high-powered beam of laser energy/light to effectively remove the damaged outer layers of the skin by vaporizing the upper layers at specific and controlled levels of penetration. The lower layers of the skin are stimulated to produce new collagen. As the new cells form during the healing process, smoother, tighter, fresher looking skin is formed. The entire face or Precise areas can be resurfaced. Lines and wrinkles around the eyes and mouth can be smoothed. Deep laugh lines and creases around the forehead area can also be softened.

During your consultation, you and Dr. Geroulis with his team of aestheticians will discuss your commitment to skin care and analyze your present skin care regimen. In certain cases, you may be required to pre-treat the skin prior to the procedure. You may also be required to change your skin care regimen both before and after your procedure.

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