Laser Skin Resurfacing is the most popular way to rejuvenate the skin and its popularity is on the rise over the last two decades. As an anti-aging treatment, it has many advantages over the older and more invasive methods of dermabrasion and deep chemical peels. The basic principle of skin treatment lies in the removal of the surface layer of the skin to allow a fresh new layer to emerge and revitalize the skin. Rather than using wire brushes and diamond wheels which cause bruising and bleeding, using lasers to remove the upper skin has become the preferred procedure. The carbon dioxide laser helped improve wrinkles, acne scars and even tightened loose skin to some degree. As technology improved in the last decade, lasers became fractional, so that not all the epidermis would be removed, and this allowed penetration into the dermis while generating new epidermal cells in between the tiny laser beams which heal the skin quickly. Less down time and less risk were then achieved by the newest technology of fractional lasers. The first laser to show fractional delivery of energy was Fraxel Restore, and then the carbon dioxide Fraxel Repair was developed.
