Laser Resurfacing

LASER RESURFACING:

The laser, that was made to be a weapon, is utilised for the humanity purposes
when its power is controlled. In various diseases of eye, brain and especially
in plastic surgery, it can be used safely with different wavelengths.

The reduction of some sort of scar tissue, the treatment of the vascular
diseases of the skin, the eradication of the unwanted hair and stain of the body
and rejuvenation of the face are some examples of the laser.

The aim of the utilisation of the laser over the face is not only to eradication
of the fine wrinkles and stain of the face that are a result of aging face, but
also rejuveniation of the connective and supportive tissue of the face. Coherent
Ultra Pulse 5000 is the safest and best model among the various models of laser
for the rejuveniation of the skin of the face.

One of the most important properties of this apparatus is to conduct constant
energy to the skin from a distance of 1 to 160 cm. Excellent results can be
achieved because of the property of peeling(ablation) of 100-150 microns(1/10 of
1 mm). The chemical and mechanical peeling techniques are still popular
especially for the deeper scars and wrinkles that could not be eradicated by
laser.

The face of the patient treated with laser, is dressed three times in the
following two days. The patient uses vaseline creams for the following period.
The pink view of the face fades away on the 10th day and the patient can easily
make up as the skin of the face has already healed at this period.

The important point is that the patient should protect her face from the direct
sun rays with protective creams for 1-2 months. The laser operation for the face
is not accomplished in summer as the sun exposure rate is high during July and
Augustos. The increase of the collagen tissue of the dermis after laser
applications is proved microscopically(histologically) so that the young
appereance of the face lasts for a long period. (at least for 5 years)
