Laser Resurfacing for Wrinkles and Fine Lines: Can It Really Help?

Fine lines and wrinkles happen to everyone, but that doesn’t mean you cannot do anything about them. Laser resurfacing, available from your dermatologist, can help minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles to help you look younger. Dr. Sally Booth and Dr. Christy Waterman at The Med Spa at Booth Dermatology Group in Zionsville, IN, provide comprehensive dermatology services, including laser resurfacing to minimize wrinkles and fine lines.

How Laser Resurfacing Can Help You Look Younger

Lasers use light pulses that penetrate the deeper layers of your skin. The light pulses can help to:

• Promote increased collagen production
• Remove dead skin cells and debris
• Smooth the surface of your skin
• Rejuvenate the appearance of your skin
• Tap into your body’s natural healing processes

After you have a laser resurfacing treatment, you will notice:

• Your skin looks younger and more vibrant
• Your skin appears smoother, with a more even skin tone
• Fine lines and wrinkles are diminished
• Sun damage is faded and less noticeable
• Your skin is glowing and enhanced

In addition to minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, laser resurfacing can also help with:

• Acne and acne scarring
• Hyperpigmentation
• Actinic Keratosis
• Skin abnormalities

Laser resurfacing treatments are typically performed with either a pulsed-dye laser or intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy. Both methods require minimal to no recovery time and have a low risk of side effects.

Your laser resurfacing treatment will take between 15 and 45 minutes, depending on the area treated. One to five treatments are recommended for the best results. Laser skin resurfacing results are cumulative, so you will see improved results with more treatments and over time.

After your laser resurfacing treatment, your skin will be more sensitive to sun exposure, so it's important to use sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 and moisturizer daily. Wear a hat and sunglasses for additional protection.
