One of the first parts of our body to show aging is our skin. It starts to look dull and tired and presents textural changes. A wide variety of skin resurfacing treatments, such as chemical peels, dermabrasion, and lasers, are designed to improve the quality of the aged skin, creating a more rejuvenated appearance. Of these, laser skin resurfacing in Austin at The Piazza Center is, without a doubt, the most precise way for our patients to attain younger-looking skin.
Laser skin resurfacing is a versatile approach capable of treating multiple skin concerns, including:
Laser skin resurfacing is well-suited for individuals looking to improve skin tone and texture and reduce signs of aging. Ideal candidates have non-oily skin, mild to moderate skin concerns, and seek a non-surgical rejuvenation approach.
For the more superficial lasers, treatment is quick and virtually pain-free, although we apply a topical cream for enhanced comfort. For the lasers that target the deeper layers of your skin, a topical anesthetic or local anesthetic will be applied prior to your treatment session to ensure you’re as comfortable as possible during the treatment process.
While chemical peels are often beneficial for creating a smoother skin texture, treating sun damage, and more, laser skin resurfacing is typically a better investment. This is especially the case for those with deep wrinkles, prominent dark spots, and scarring. Laser treatments penetrate further into the skin and create more dramatic changes in its structure, leading to better and longer-lasting results.
