Laser Skin Resurfacing

WHAT IS LASER SKIN RESURFACING?

Countless patients of all ages are bothered by bumpy skin, scars, and static lines. To improve upon these concerns, GLANZ Aesthetics performs laser skin resurfacing using the Alma Hybrid™ or Opus Plasma®. Dr. Rivera was one of the first in South Florida to purchase this cutting-edge technology to give her patients the best out there. Using this Hybrid laser, Dr. Rivera and her team are able to offer this cosmetic procedure that effectively employs CO2 ablative and non-ablative laser energy with less downtime following the procedure. By conjoining both the 1570nm and CO2 technologies in a single machine, Hybrid laser services are capable of decreasing wrinkles, sun spots, blemishes, and bumpy skin texture. The Hybrid and Opus Plasma devices are renowned for their ability to customize multiple variables, such as the intensity of the laser's penetration. Depending on the state of the patient's skin, the technology may be changed accordingly. Using accuracy and effectiveness, Hybrid skin resurfacing sessions can take as little as 10 – 20 minutes to pass over the whole face. Dr. Linette Rivera and her talented specialists in Doral, FL are thrilled to offer this revolutionary service to let patients have softer, youthful, and rejuvenated skin.

AM I A GOOD CANDIDATE?

There are many factors to consider when deciding which type of laser skin resurfacing treatment is right for your needs. Laser skin resurfacing is designed for patients who are unhappy with their skin's appearance. If you have sun-damaged skin, acne scars, age spots, lines and wrinkles, redness, or pigmentation issues, a laser skin resurfacing treatment can help address these imperfections. Also, it works wonders if you have rough texture, scaly patches, or other skin surface problems. Laser skin resurfacing isn't recommended for anyone who has very dark skin or active acne. In addition, it is important to understand that there is downtime needed after laser therapy. Certain patients, based on their skin condition, may require as much as 2 – 3 weeks for recovery.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT FROM LASER SKIN RESURFACING?

A customized treatment program will be carefully created for you. Belonging to the Hispanic community, Dr. Rivera has passionately learned about the different ethnic skin tones and how to treat them safely and effectively with different laser modalities. Dr. Rivera embraces the differences that exist among her patients and makes it her mission to design treatments that are unique for each one of them. During your consultation, our experienced staff will discuss how many appointments may be required, as well as how often you should get laser skin resurfacing. The treatments should be arranged a suitable amount of weeks apart to allow you to recover completely. During your aesthetic treatment, you will relax in a private treatment room while the laser device's handpiece is maneuvered over your skin, making contact with the skin surfaces for improvement. Both the ablative and non-ablative laser energies are administered within the same burst onto the skin. This calls for shorter appointment times and minimizes the odds of overheating the area. Once your treatment is finished, our professionals at GLANZ Aesthetics will give you all of the needed aftercare guidelines to make sure you reach your desired results. The most important aftercare instruction is to not scratch your skin because doing so may cause damage and scarring. You will have to pause all hair removal methods on the treated tissue, including razors, threading, and hair removal solutions. Our team may also prescribe an ointment to help soothe and promote healing in the treated areas.
