Laser Skin Resurfacing

Laser skin resurfacing removes the layer of skin marked by wrinkles, acne scars, or dark pigmentation, to reveal the healthy skin just beneath the surface.  Many factors, including sun exposure, smoking, heredity, and other lifestyle factors, effect how quickly skin ages. Laser skin resurfacing  erases these telltale signs of aging.

Dr. Gershenbaum will consult with patients to decide if laser skin resurfacing is the best skin care method for a particular skin type. Goals will be discussed, as well as what should be expected from treatment.

Laser skin resurfacing uses a carbon dioxide laser to remove the outermost layer of skin by vaporizing skin cells. This method of skin resurfacing has become popular because of its precision and dramatic results.  Laser skin resurfacing is reserved for patients with light or fair skin compexion.  After the procedure, skin will be red and swollen and require several weeks of healing. Sun exposure should be avoided until healing is complete. Contact Dr. Gershenbaum’s practice in Aventura between Miami and Fort Lauderdale, Florida to discuss your options for laser skin resurfacing.
