There’s a new kind of laser therapy out there called profractional resurfacing that a lot of doctors are recommending to patients for cosmetic dermatology treatments. This procedure can help erase wrinkles and fine lines on faces and help people look younger with a smoother, even skin texture, as well as good skin tone. Qualified dermatologists use profractional resurfacing to help heal the effects of sun damage, deal with acne or other scarring, or reverse signs of aging in patients. It’s something some doctors call “real” laser treatment, a procedure that often yields visual results that patients can be proud of, without cutting into tissues or injecting things under the skin.
Medical Conditions that Interfere with Profractional Resurfacing
Some kinds of medical conditions might not go well with a profractional resurfacing treatment. Those with existing infections or autoimmune disorders may not want to take advantage of this laser treatment because of some of the risks of complications. Diabetics are also not usually good candidates for profractional resurfacing.
In addition, those with vulnerability to certain kinds of scarring may be at risk for scarring results from this laser treatment. Although in some cases profractional resurfacing is used specifically to deal with scarring, in other cases it can actually worsen a scarring condition. Patients interested in this kind of innovative laser procedure should talk in depth to doctors about their particular risks for profractional resurfacing laser therapy sessions. Getting the pre-treatment talk right will help to ensure good results for any cosmetic skin session. It also gives patients the insight they need into what they may prefer for ongoing medical care for their faces.
