After Laser Skin Wrinkle Treatment Atlanta GA Patients Will Feel More Confident

By Deborah Butler


Physical beauty has always been important to humans. Odes and poems have been written and wars have been fought for and on behalf of exceptionally beautiful people. Today, magazines and society pages still create the impression that physical attributes are the key to success and social recognition. To this end many people spend a small fortune on procedures, cosmetics and even surgery to improve their looks. With laser skin wrinkle treatment Atlanta GA residents try to fight off the signs of ageing.

This procedure uses lasers to carefully resurface specific areas, especially on the face. It is very effective in minimizing the visibility of lines in the face, especially around the eyes. It can also be used for removing age spots and shallow scars caused by acne. Other blemishes are also often treated successfully but it is important to understand that the procedure is not a quick and easy route to looking younger overnight.

The procedure is performed by both medical and beauty professionals but prospective patients should be very careful. It is better to consult a doctor, preferably a plastic surgeon or a dermatologist, before making final decisions about opting for resurfacing. Not all patients will benefit from this procedure and a doctor can also make sure that medication used by the patient will not impact upon the success of the procedure.

Most people opt for several shorter sessions, about half an hour each, to treat various areas of their face. More extensive work, covering several areas in one session, may take up to two hours and require a much longer recovery period. After the procedure, the patient has to be meticulous in cleaning the affected area at least four or five times a day. This will prevent complications and scabs from developing.

The procedure is deemed to be safe, but it is still an invasive procedure. Patients can expect swelling, especially around the eyes, but this can be treated by the use of ice packs. Many patients also report severe itching or even stinging. This is normal and will be over within a day or three. About a week after the procedure, the treated skin will dry and peel. Patients must expect this development.

Patients also need to understand that treated area may remain extremely sensitive to the sun for up to a year. It is vital that they apply a good sun block whenever they venture outside. This will not only protect the treated area, but it will help prevent the development of cancer and further signs of premature ageing. Patients are also advised to be careful when buying and using cosmetics and to stop using products that cause irritation, itching or discolouration.

Choosing a practitioner to perform the procedure should be undertaken with circumspect. Inexperienced practitioners using out of date equipment can cause a great deal of damage and discomfort. Patients must make sure that the chosen practitioner is not only properly trained in performing the procedure, but also in the use of his equipment.

Many people will go to great lengths to look better and younger. There is nothing wrong with this desire. However, it is important to understand that no procedure or preparation can produce miraculous or permanent results.
