Laser Skin Resurfacing in Portland enhances skin texture and appearance using a laser device. This device emits a highly focused beam of light that vaporizes damaged skin cells at the surface level (for ablative lasers) or heats the underlying skin layers (for non-ablative lasers) to stimulate collagen production without removing the top skin layer. The procedure targets fine lines, wrinkles, scars, and uneven pigmentation and fosters the formation of new collagen fibers. The result is smoother, firmer skin that contributes to a youthful appearance. If you’re in Portland and considering laser skin resurfacing, Ortho-Rejuv provides exceptional care and natural-looking results, helping you achieve healthier, more radiant skin.
Ablative laser resurfacing uses high-intensity laser beams to precisely remove damaged skin, promoting the growth of new, healthy skin cells.
On the other hand, non-ablative lasers, including intense pulsed light, deliver heat energy to stimulate collagen production in the deeper layers of your skin without harming the surface, helping improve your skin’s texture and appearance without removing the outer skin layers.
Laser skin resurfacing treatments can be performed using different lasers, such as fractional lasers. Fractional lasers target specific areas of your skin while leaving the surrounding tissue intact, resulting in shorter recovery times than traditional laser peels. The choice of laser and technique will depend on your skin concerns and desired outcomes.
It’s important to consult our expert skin care professional to determine if our laser skin resurfacing is the proper treatment for you. Factors such as your skin color, history of acne medications or active acne, and overall skin health will be considered to ensure optimal results and minimize any potential risks. If you have very dark skin, opting for a non-ablative laser resurfacing like Nd: YAG can be a safer choice.
