I do not want any sedatives as I don't need any. I heard a doctor around here wouldn't even do it without patient being sedated. However, have heard of some that just use local anesthesia with an OPTION for sedative or iv sedation. Please let me know if this is absolutely necessary. I really don't need to be sedated in my opinion (as long as I am pain free with the local)
I commonly perform deep fractional CO2 laser treatments without any sedation in the office. I prefer to first place a topical anesthetic on the face for 45 minutes and follow this with nerve block injections to numb the entire face. Lighter treatments can be performed under topical anesthetic only (a skin cream) but the results of the lighter treatment are not as good for fines lines and wrinkles as the deeper treatments.
My dermatologist offers a laser treatment for skin "resurfacing" which is different from the laser at my favorite medispa. Are all lasers the same? How do I make sure they use the right one?
The CO2 laser can give some of the best results for laser skin resurfacing. The newer fractional CO2 laser gives great results, but has much less down-time then the traditional CO2 laser. See the facial plastic surgery link below for more information.
