Laser Skin Resurfacing Toronto

The top layer of your skin (known as the stratum corneum) is constantly exposed and battered by the grime, wind, and sun in your environment. Though the skin surface does renew itself every ten to fourteen days, inadequate care, age and dietary habits easily hinder cellular regeneration and epidermal growth. Old skin becomes thick and rough, and acne can multiply easily.

You need to reveal the smooth, fresh skin underneath. The most advanced solution in cosmetic surgery, Laser Skin Resurfacing with the Lyra Laser or The StarLux® 500, is available at Toronto Cosmetic Clinic!

Laser Skin Resurfacing at Toronto Cosmetic Clinic

Laser Skin Resurfacing has been proven effective over time. The procedure entails the use of the Lyra laser, available at our physician directed clinic in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Best results are achieved through a series of sessions, spaced several weeks apart.

The ideal candidates for this treatment are those who are dissatisfied with the condition of their skin due to the presence of fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation and blemishes. Laser resurfacing is also designed to target acne scarring.

Most patients at Toronto Cosmetic Clinic undergo laser resurfacing for problems afflicting the face. However, other areas may also be treated.

The Laser Resurfacing Procedure

A medical professional or medical aesthetician with extensive dermatological knowledge will perform the laser skin resurfacing procedure. Shortly before the procedure, a numbing cream may be applied to reduce discomfort. Working in target areas, the Lyra Laser or StarLux® 500 is used to emit bursts of light at a specific wavelength. Water in the damaged collagen of the skin preferentially absorbs the light emitted, ablating (evaporating) very fine layers of unwanted skin. Treatment does not involve invasive methods, therefore recovery time is short. Some common side effects include redness and sensitivity, which only last very temporarily.

After treatment, new cells grow while skin heals. Wrinkles and unwanted textures gradually disappear or diminish, leaving a smooth and even complexion.

Many problems of the skin can be treated effectively, such as wrinkles, discolouration, skin damaged by the sun, and scars resulting from acne.

Laser Resurfacing with The StarLux® 500

An alternative to the Lyra Laser is The StarLux® 500, fitted with the Lux2940™ Fractional Laser Handpiece. The elimination or reduction of wrinkles, fine lines and blemishes occurs when the skin is exposed to the emission of a laser at a 2940 nm wavelength. The micro-fractional technology of the device allows for faster recovery, as only damaged tissue is targeted while any healthy tissue in the area is preserved. The strength of the laser is altered according to each individual situation in order to achieve optimum results.

At Toronto Cosmetic Clinc, a non-ablative technique of skin resurfacing is also available.
