Improve the tone and texture of your skin and fend off the aging process with advanced laser skin resurfacing treatments in Houston, Texas! Over time, acne, aging, and sun damage can leave skin with multiple cosmetic issues, including wrinkles, lines, scars, and more. Fortunately, these are ideal targets for laser resurfacing! If you deal with any of these difficulties, then Laser Peels may be a good fit for you.
Laser Peels, also known as Laser Skin Resurfacing, is a method of removing damaged skin cells in the outermost layer of the skin using beams of laser energy. By removing the damaged cells, it allows for new, healthier skin cells to take its place. The laser will boost the production of collagen which is a building block of youthful skin and will stimulate skin cells to renew and repair themselves creating a smooth texture and tightening effect on treated skin. The results are stunning.
Lasers work by concentrating intense light into a beam, and each laser can come in different wavelengths which are used to target specific skin concerns that are more likely to absorb the energy of a certain wavelength. Different lasers and depths of intervention can be customized to provide a range of benefits and recovery times.
