Answers:
Laser resurfacing may offer you and your dermatologic surgeon the following general benefits:
Improved treatment results
Relatively "bloodless" surgery
Precisely controlled surgery
An addition or alternative to other skin rejuvenating procedures
Safe, reliable and effective out-patient, same-day surgery
All surgical procedures carry some degree of risk. With the new CO2 laser surgery, the risk of scarring is quite low. Common side-effects may include crusting, mild swelling, redness or brown discoloration at the treatment site. Some patients may require bleaching creams to help regulate skin color following laser resurfacing. Significant pain, bleeding, swelling and infection seldom occur and can be minimized by proper surgical techniques and vigorous postoperative care. These surgical techniques and pre-and post-operative regimes have been pioneered by dermatologic surgeons and continue to be enhanced and improved for patient safety and comfort.
What are the limitations of laser resurfacing?
Laser resurfacing is not a substitute for a facelift, nor can the procedure eliminate excessive skin or jowls. However, beneficial tightening of loose skin can occur from laser resurfacing, resulting in an improvement of certain folds and creases. In many cases, laser resurfacing offers an alternative to traditional methods for skin rejuvenation, such as Dermabrasion and deep chemical peels. It can also work well in conjunction with or as an additional treatment to other aesthetic procedures, such as chemical peels, Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) and liposuction of the face and neck.
No.
Read as much as you can on the procedure.
List down all the questions that cross your mind. And then shop around for a good clinic and a good doctor. Schedule consultations with at least three licensed dermatologists.
This will help resolve the quandary that you are in.
Remember:
All procedures that involve human beings are subject to human error. So the answer to your question would depend on so many factors -- how good your doctor is, how knowledgeable, how experienced; how alert he is on the day he does laser on you, how much sleep he had the previous night, how focused he is on the job at hand; etc.
All procedures that involve gadgets are subject to machine malfunction. So the answer to your question also depends on factors such as -- whether the laser equipment they are using is in top condition, etc.
How badly do you want your mole removed? Is the risk worth it? That is the ultimate question only you can answer.
