What Exactly is "Laserbrasion"

Question

I have come across this term more than once. What exactly is laserbrasion, how does it differ from laser resurfacing and what particular problems does it address? Is the cost comparable to a laser treatment?

Ben Brown, MD (license emergency restriction) · Answer

Coupling CO2 Laser resurfacing with dermabrasion has been used successfully to resurface perioral lesions. These are typically deep defects that are only partially corrected with CO2 Laser alone. If your interested in facial resurfacing, I recommend you seek a consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who can offer different modalities based on your individual needs. There are many different ways to achieve improvements. Your own plan should be designed with your specific needs  and budget in mind.
