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?
Great question! The CO2 laser is the gold standard for laser resurfacing, however, the potential side effects (pigment changes and scarring) have limited its use.
There are a number of different lasers out there and a number of different lasers may be right for you...if your provider chooses correctly! This means that your goals, your skin type (fair complexion versus darker), your age and anatomy and your recovery expectations and price point are all critical factors.
Newer laser technology, ablative versus non-ablative and even new sublative as welll as fractional versus traditional non-fractionated lasers are available.
I suggest you see a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who performs a significant number of laser procedures who can assess your skin type and goals to help you make a decision as an educated consumer!
Good luck!
