Cosmetic skin resurfacing with lasers is a precise and safe procedure to remove wrinkles. The powerful light of the UltraPulse CO2 Laser removes thin layers of the skin surface, vaporizing the high ridges of wrinkles and smoothing out the surface of the skin. Complete resurfacing is performed pulse by pulse, sculpting wrinkles and irregularities away. The new outer layer of skin has a younger-looking, smoother, tighter appearance. While the procedure can target specific areas such as frown furrows, crow's feet, laugh lines, smoker's lines, and fine wrinkling, full-face resurfacing produces even more dramatic results. It is a safe and effective treatment with scarring uncommon.
