Laser Skin Resurfacing is a popular cosmetic procedure that uses lasers to aid in the rejuvenation of the skin which helps reduce and diminish minor skin blemishes, signs of aging and damage to the skin caused by the sun.

 In general, treatments are safe and very effective. It works by removing outer layers of the skin that have been damaged. The stimulation generated from the lasers helps promote the production of collagen and the growth of new skin which results in younger, healthier and smoother looking skin.

 Laser skin resurfacing is performed on an outpatient basis and a hospital stay is not necessary. In most cases, only local anesthesia is needed for the treatments, but sometimes mild sedatives are used. For protection from the light and from the lasers, patients’ eyes are covered. The length of the doctor visit depends on the procedure being performed. Typically, it takes an hour or less for mild facial resurfacing. For full facial resurfacing, the procedure can last for as long as two hours. Normally, it takes a few weeks to a month to notice improvements.

The eMatrix skin rejuvenation procedure was introduced in 2009. It is a non-surgical, non-laser, non-light and non-invasive state-of-the-art procedure that incorporates powerful energy from radio frequency waves that sends generated energy to a small target area of the top layer of skin. The strength of the energy stimulates the production of natural collagen and helps improve the skin’s texture and tone. This procedure effectively helps improve the appearance of acne scars, fine line, wrinkles, scarring and superficial blemishes with very little side effects. A typical procedure takes about 15 minutes, and a severe treatment session can take up to 2 to 3 days.
