Does Laser Resurfacing Stop the Clock of Ageing?

12 May 2023

As we navigate the passage of time, many seek ways to maintain a youthful appearance and address the visible signs of aging. Laser resurfacing has emerged as a popular option, offering the promise of smoother skin and a more radiant complexion. This technique employs advanced technology to target skin imperfections, such as fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven texture. But does it truly halt the aging process, or is it simply a tool in the broader quest for skin health? In this blog, we’ll delve into how laser resurfacing works, its benefits, and what you can realistically expect from the treatment.

At Absolute Cosmetic Perth, we offer a comprehensive range of options, including Erbium and CO2 lasers, full and fractional resurfacing, as well as non-ablative lasers like PicoWay and tattoo removal lasers. Our trained staff is here to help you navigate the various treatments to find the best fit for your skincare needs.

So, does laser resurfacing really stop the clock on aging? While this procedure rejuvenates the skin by removing the top layer and stimulating collagen production, it doesn’t completely halt the aging process. Instead, it can reduce the appearance of fine to medium lines and give your skin a fresh start.

The effectiveness of the treatment can vary based on individual factors, such as genetics and skin condition, as well as the skill of the practitioner. Although there may be some initial redness and peeling, healing typically occurs quickly, and modern laser techniques carry minimal risk.

In short, while laser resurfacing can effectively rewind the signs of aging, it doesn’t stop the clock. However, you may find that it ticks a bit slower as you adopt better skincare habits afterwards.

We recommend a thorough skin analysis – Observ 520X, following a robust skincare regimen and scheduling annual check-ins to adjust your treatments as needed. Laser resurfacing may not stop the clock, but it can help reset and slow down the aging process. For more information, feel free to reach out via email or our social media channels.
