PlastyWhat it involves
Resurfacing lasers deliver controlled energy to the skin. Ablative and non-ablative approaches differ in tissue effect and recovery. Device choice depends on the concern and skin characteristics.
Risks and limitations
Burns, pigment changes, scarring and infection are possible. Ask about cold-sore history, skin tone and the clinician’s experience with the proposed device.
Recovery and follow-up
Redness and downtime vary substantially with treatment intensity. Ask for a written care plan and a realistic healing interval. A simulated smooth texture does not establish what laser treatment can achieve.
Questions for your consultation
Which laser and why? What is the likely downtime for this setting? What signs require contacting the clinic?
