Laser resurfacing is a medical procedure used in cosmetic medicine to treat the skin using advanced laser technology. At GMC Cosmedical, we provide laser resurfacing in Sydney using advanced Erbium:YAG laser technology. Following an individual assessment, treatment may be considered for patients seeking treatment for concerns such as fine lines, acne scarring, uneven skin texture and visible sun damage.
As with any cosmetic medical procedure, suitability for laser resurfacing can only be determined following a consultation with a qualified practitioner.
What Is Laser Resurfacing?
Laser resurfacing uses carefully controlled laser energy to remove precise layers of the skin surface.
The treatment initiates the body’s natural healing response and collagen remodelling process. As the skin heals, new skin gradually replaces the treated surface as part of the body’s normal repair process.
The depth of treatment varies depending on the skin concern being treated, the area of the body and your individual treatment plan.
What Skin Concerns May Be Considered?
Following an individual assessment, laser resurfacing may be considered for a range of skin appearance concerns, including:
-
Uneven skin texture
-
Sun damaged skin
-
Certain pigmentation concerns
-
Some surgical and traumatic scars
Not every skin concern is suitable for laser resurfacing. Your practitioner will determine whether the treatment is appropriate following an assessment of your skin and medical history.
