LASER SKIN RESURFACING
Laser skin resurfacing is an advanced cosmetic procedure that uses focused laser energy to remove the outer layers of damaged skin, allowing new, healthy skin to emerge. It is especially effective for reducing scars, wrinkles, and pigmentation, and improving overall skin texture and tone.
DC Clinic is one of the best laser clinics in Chennai providing a wide array of laser treatments. Laser skin resurfacing is commonly done as a treatment option for acne scars, skin rejuvenation and antiaging treatment. Laser resurfacing uses either ablative (removes outer skin layers) or non-ablative (heats deeper layers without removing skin) laser technology. The laser creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin, which stimulate collagen remodelling and help in the natural regeneration of skin cells.
The laser light helps to smoothen acne scars, chickenpox scars, and surgical scars. It helps to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, especially around the eyes and mouth. It improves the skin texture, tightness, and tone. It helps to fade dark spots, sun damage, and pigmentation. It is an option to shrink open pores. It is used for treating stretch marks and rough skin patches.
The common type of laser used at DC Clinic includes the Fractional CO₂ Laser which is ablative, and effective for deeper scars and wrinkles It can be done on the Full face, Acne-scarred cheeks, Periorbital area (under and around eyes), Neck and décolletage, Hands and back.
The procedure takes 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the area. A numbing cream or local anaesthesia is used for comfort. Post-procedure, the skin may be red, swollen, and slightly crusty for 5–10 days. Peeling and renewal happen over the first week, with visible improvement over the next few weeks. Full results continue to develop over 2–3 months as collagen builds under the skin.
At DC Clinic laser treatments are performed by trained professionals using certified equipment. Temporary side effects may include redness, swelling, or mild peeling. Proper aftercare minimizes risks. Proper sun protection and following your dermatologist’s aftercare instructions closely will give a better outcome.
