Skin rejuvenation laser treatments offer a way to eliminate fine lines and wrinkles and restore a more youthful appearance. While changes to the skin are normal as one grows older, many people experience some stress or discomfort when looking in the mirror and seeing the visible signs of aging and the dimming of a once-youthful glow. Fortunately, laser skin treatment can diminish those signs and reclaim that glow; here are a few things to expect from the procedure.

Treatments Are Short & Painless

One of the biggest advantages of laser skin rejuvenation is that it is a noninvasive procedure, making it virtually painless and relatively brief in duration. Most people feel nothing more than a mild heat sensation on their face during treatment as the laser stimulates the production of healthy collagen in the skin. Each session typically lasts between 30 minutes and one hour.

Some Changes May Be Necessary Before the Treatment

While laser skin rejuvenation is perfectly safe, there are some precautions that may be necessary to ensure it is as effective as possible. Discuss with your dermatologist beforehand any medications you may be taking. Certain medications might need to be temporarily discontinued until after you have healed from the procedure. Also, smoking can hinder the efficacy of and healing from laser skin rejuvenation, so your dermatologist may advise you to give up smoking for a period before and after treatment.

Improvements Are Noticeable

Most people see improvements after a few treatments. The skin tightens, discolored spots lighten, and wrinkles fill in. With that said, skin rejuvenation will not stop the aging process. Planning future sessions in conjunction with wearing sunscreen, eating well, exercising, and getting enough sleep can help you maintain and prolong the effects of treatment.
