Cosmetic Surgeries for the Seasons

Talk to Your Doctor
Start with an honest conversation with your cosmetic surgeon. You should tell him your goals for your skin and what you are hoping to avoid. Each laser is designed for certain tasks. For example, some are used mainly for prevention of future issues while others tighten the skin or reduce hyperpigmentation. Some work lightly on the surface while others work deep beneath the skin.Know What You Want Done
There are five major reasons that people most frequently seek laser treatments in a cosmetic surgery office.- To treat fine lines and wrinkles
- To tighten the skin, such as in the jowls
- To reduce hyperpigmentation, such as with freckles or age spots
- To remove hair
- To reduce acne or remove acne scars
Understand the Side Effects
Because some lasers work farther beneath the surface of the skin than others do, side effects from each laser differ. Generally, lasers using broadband light or intense pulse light are far milder than fractional or CO2 lasers, which work deeper and may require a few weeks for complete skin healing. During recovery, you will need to stay out of the sunlight.Laser skin resurfacing is a great way to see dramatic results on your skin without requiring any surgery. Be sure to consult with Dr. Tavoussi to discuss your goals. That way, he will be able to direct you to the right treatment for your needs.
