What is laser skin resurfacing? It is an exciting medical procedure which corrects the damaging effects of the sun, wind and time. Dr Reed uses the pinpoint accuracy of the advanced CO2 (carbon dioxide) laser to repair damaged skin.

Laser skin resurfacing reduces wrinkles without scalpels and stitches. The laser emits an intense beam of energy that heats up and vaporizes tissue instantaneously. It is so precise that the normal surrounding tissue is not affected. As Dr Reed guides the laser’s beam over the damaged or wrinkled skin, it gently removes the outer layers. Fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth and eyes are smoothed. Deep creases and frown lines will be softened and acne scars are minimized. Once the outer layer of skin has been removed, the new skin beneath is softer, smoother with a more youthful appearance.

Laser skin resurfacing is performed in the office under local anesthesia when limited areas are treated. Full facial resurfacing is usually performed with the administration of intravenous sedation. Dr Reed can advise you if this procedure is right for you at your free consultation
