Looking For Laser Skin Wrinkle Treatment

By Richard Russell


Many people have wrinkles or blemishes that they are not happy with and they will use various treatments to get rid of them. Many creams and lotions can be purchased from stores but these will only provide a short term solution and there are better options. When you are looking for laser skin wrinkle treatment there are various clinics that can perform the procedure and some research is advisable.

Laser procedures work by aiming beams of light at the area to be treated which takes away thin layers of skin. These treatments are used to reduce the wrinkle, blemish, wart or scar on different areas of the body. Prior to booking any procedures it is essential to speak to your family doctor to ensure you have no medical conditions that would make the treatment unsuitable.

The clinics that are operating will usually offer a couple of treatments and they will use the one that is most suitable for your particular condition. The first method uses Co2 which targets short burst of light to the affected area. Some recovery time is required after this procedure which will normally be around fourteen days but it can vary.

The second treatment is erbium laser resurfacing which is used for deeper scars and wrinkles on various parts of the body. This option is better for some people and particularly those with a darker skin tone. Recovery from this method is usually around seven to ten days and this may be a better option for you.

You can find clinics by searching various places and it is important to use one that is fully licensed and insured to carry out the procedures. Your doctor or dermatologist may refer you to a clinic and there are contact numbers listed in the phone book. The internet is also a good place to find an established clinic and also a good place to do your research.

When you have located a clinic you are able to contact them and make an appointment for a consultation. You will need to fill in some forms with some personal information as well as some details on your medical history. The specialists can then decide on the best course of action and arrange a date for the procedure to be carried out.

The costs of your procedure will vary and depend on which clinic you have used and how much work is involved. Most treatments last between 30 minutes up to 2 hours depending on the areas to be treated. Following your procedure there will be some after care which is very important and you may also have to take a short course of medication to keep any infection away.

All cosmetic and medical procedures can result in some adverse side effects and you should be aware of this. Some patients have reported scarring, minor burns and change in skin color after being exposed to a laser. If you experience any side effects or feel ill after a treatment you should contact the clinic as soon as possible for advice.
