Sun and environmental damage can undo even the most diligent skin care routines. Sun exposure is to blame for most of the skin changes we think of as a normal part of aging, such as fine lines, discolored spots and rough skin texture. Over time, ultraviolet rays from the sun cause the elastin in your skin to break down. As a result, skin begins to sag, stretch and lose its ability to bounce back into place after stretching.

What if you could turn back the clock and undo years of environmental damage? Sciton BLL Laser skin care therapy can help you regain your skin’s youthful appearance and maintain healthier skin year-round.

How Does BBL Laser Skin Care Work?

Collagen is one of the most important components of healthy skin, but as we age, it begins to deteriorate. Laser skin resurfacing can help stimulate your skin to rebuild collagen lost due to sun damage and aging.

Sciton BBL Laser skin care is a safe and highly effective method of eradicating sun damage and restoring a healthy skin tone and texture. Laser skin resurfacing can be used on any part of the body, but the most common areas for this treatment are the face, neck, chest, back, arms and hands.

During the procedure, a skin care expert will direct short, concentrated, pulsating beams of light to remove the top layers of your skin. The laser works by heating the skin, causing open capillaries to constrict and kick-starting collagen production at the dermal level.

Who Is a Good Candidate for BBL Laser Resurfacing?

Laser skin resurfacing is an excellent treatment for fine lines and wrinkles around your eyes and mouth, as well as on your forehead. The procedure also works well to minimize brown or red skin discoloration and shallow scars left behind from acne.

People with darker skin tones may not get the optimal results from undergoing laser skin care. If you’re considering the procedure, your skin care professional can consult with you and recommend the best options for your skin type.

 

What Can You Expect During the Procedure?

Laser skin resurfacing is an outpatient procedure, and is safe to undergo at any time of year. Depending on the size of the area to be treated and the type of procedure being performed, your process may take anywhere from a few minutes to half an hour.

Treatments are gentle, noninvasive and harmless. While undergoing laser skin therapy, most patients report feeling a sensation of heat that is strong, but not painful (similar to the heat of a blow dryer). Generally, patients do not need a topical anesthetic; however, you may choose to use one on more sensitive areas.

The number of treatments you need is based on your specific skin condition. You may also choose to combine your treatment with other popular aesthetic procedures, such as dermafiller injections, to further personalize your treatment and achieve the desired results. All patients should consult with their skin care professional on the best options for their skin type and desired results.

 

What Can You Expect After the Procedure?

There is zero downtime with laser skin resurfacing, and patients can return to work and resume other normal daily activities immediately. After undergoing the treatment, you’ll immediately notice that your treated skin will feel smoother and younger, and that your fine lines and pores will be less noticeable. Some patients may experience a little bit of redness that should resolve within a few hours.

For the best results, closely follow your skin care professional’s directions for taking care of your skin after the procedure. You’ll be expected to use specific post-treatment skin products and be instructed on how to use them.

Keep in mind that laser-treated skin is especially sensitive to ultraviolet light; therefore, you must avoid direct sun exposure until your skin is completely healed. Fully cover your skin or use a good sunscreen with a high SPF whenever you go outdoors.
