Laser Treatment for Wrinkles
The patient is a 55 year old woman who noticed deep wrinkles and folding about the lower eyelid and Crow’s Foot areas. She wanted laser treatment to remove her wrinkles.
Laser Resurfacing Before and After
As can be seen from the before and after photos, there was nearly complete removal of wrinkles of the lower eyelid and the Crow’s foot areas. There has even been some “shrink effect” on the loose skin with resolution of skin folding. The patient was happy with the procedure.
Types of Laser Treatments for Face
There are different types of treatments for wrinkles of the face. Choice for treatment is related to their location, depth, the cause and skin type. Alternatives include Botox, microdermabrasion and lighter peels for milder wrinkles, different laser modalities and deeper peels. It is important to seek the assistance with a Plastic Surgeon experienced in all these modalities.
Laser Treatment for face Side Effects
The Carbon Dioxide Laser to treat moderate to deep wrinkles of the face is very safe and effective. The only long term side effect of this treatment is lightening of the skin. This helps with laser to treat wrinkles around the eyelids because most patients have dark circles and the laser can lighten them. For laser treatment around the mouth, the edges of the lasered area can be feathered so as not to see an edge where the treatment was done.
