Skin care after laser resurfacing is very important to enhance the result. It is very important to be on a regimen of skin care prior to laser resurfacing which should include retin a products, glycolic acid products and vitamin c. These products will help to promote healing after the laser treatment as well as enhance the cosmetic results of the laser resurfacing procedure itself. Furthermore, once you have undergone the procedure, it is equally important to stay on those same products especially retin a. Finally, sunscreens are imperative to not only prevent further damage to the skin but to also prevent issues with pigmentation problems.
