For many, the body's natural aging process can bring along unwanted side effects, like wrinkles, discoloration, and facial lines. An increasing number of patients are turning to cosmetic procedures to help treat these signs of aging, and few are more popular than laser skin resurfacing. Stony Brook's Dr. Mark Epstein recently sat down to discuss this procedure, and why more and more patients are turning to it.
"As we age, collagen production in our skin decreases, causing lines, wrinkles, and more," Dr. Epstein explains. "These natural signs of aging can be worsened by controllable factors, like smoking, sun exposure, alcohol consumption, and more. These can leave patients with unwanted skin irregularities and discolorations, leaving many to turn to laser skin resurfacing as a way to correct and improve the appearance of their skin."
Explaining what exactly laser skin resurfacing is, Dr. Epstein offered, "A minimally invasive solution, this procedure uses innovative laser technology to precisely target the skin, working to eliminate or soften wrinkles, fine lines, scarring, and blemishes. By directing short, pulsating beams of light, this procedure removes the outer, damaged layer of skin while heating up the underlying layers, stimulating collagen growth."
"Laser skin resurfacing presents a number of benefits over traditional methods of facial rejuvenation," explains Dr. Epstein. "Laser technology affords us a greater degree of control over the procedure, allowing us to target delicate areas with precision and ease. Once the treatment is complete and the face has healed, patients can expect smoother, younger looking skin and a refreshed appearance."
Asked to comment on the growing popularity of laser skin resurfacing, Dr. Epstein concluded with this: "This procedure is becoming more and more prevalent because it's a minimally invasive and effective way to improve blemishes, wrinkles, and other signs of aging in the face. We encourage anyone who wants to improve their skin to schedule a consultation and learn more about laser skin resurfacing."
