As ageing takes a toll on our skin and our minds, we tend to look for desperate measures for getting rid of fine lines and wrinkles. Sagging skin of face and neck, lines around the eyes and lines of the forehead are not the only signs of ageing. Blotched patches on skin, hyperpigmentation, dryness etc. are also very prominent signs of ageing. There are many treatments available today, the most popular being Botox followed by facial fillers, which can help in management of the signs of ageing on the skin. Though Botox is very effective in curing wrinkles, if the skin has more issues than just wrinkles and needs more refinement in the overall texture, then laser skin rejuvenation or laser skin resurfacing could be the best treatment.

The popularity of the skin resurfacing and rejuvenation treatment is growing because of the better outcome of this treatment. The reason behind the popularity of the laser skin resurfacing and laser skin rejuvenation is that with Botox there is no improvement in overall texture of the skin while with laser skin resurfacing and rejuvenation treatment, the overall look of the skin becomes youthful and glowing. Also, in some cases, use of Botox gives a very stiff appearance to the skin which may cause the face of the person to look unnatural. This does not happen with laser skin resurfacing and laser skin rejuvenation. Also laser skin rejuvenation and resurfacing treatment stimulates the production of collagen in the skin which causes the skin to become even better.

Types of laser available in India which are used in laser resurfacing and rejuvenation treatment:-

  • Nd: YAG laser: – The name of this laser represents the medium of this laser which is Neodymium: Yttrium-Aluminium-Garnet. Nd: YAG laser can be used for treating fine lines and wrinkles, reduction of rosacea, stimulation of collagen, brown spots or liver spots on the skin and for overall improvement in skin texture. Nd: YAG laser can also be used for removing old tattoos. This laser is non- ablative which means that the tissue on the skin remain intact. Because of the wavelength of this laser, the pigmented cells get specifically damaged.
  • Fraxel: – Fraxel laser is also used for skin rejuvenation and reversing the effects of time from the skin. Fraxel is one of the most popular laser treatments because there are no side- effects and the patient does not have to undergo any recovery downtime. The Fraxel involves targeting the microscopic skin tissues with intensely focused laser beam. The sharp laser beams travels beneath the surface and the damaged skin cells are removed. The healing of the skin is accelerated by Fraxel therefore the skin continues to improve even after 3- 6 months of the treatment.
  • Intense Pulsed Light therapy: – As the name indicates, the Intense Pulsed Light laser therapy utilizes short bursts of light which have very high intensity to treat the skin. The IPL therapy is focused on the skin and only the skin cells which have high amount of pigmentation absorb the IPL. Instead of utilizing a single wavelength, the IPL therapy makes use of multiple wavelengths. To enhance the output of the treatment, the energy is filtered and regulated so that only the targeted areas are treated.
  • CO2 laser: – CO2 laser is also known as Pixilated or Fractional CO2 laser. This is one of the most commonly carried out laser treatments in India as it is very suitable for Indian skin tones. This laser treatment is the perfect solution to more severe issue of the skin like deep wrinkles, pitted scars due to trauma or acne and intensely sun damaged skin. CO2 laser travels more deeply into the skin as compared to Fraxel therefore it used for more intensive treatment. CO2 laser treatment is preferred more for older patients who are above 40 years of age.
  • Erbium YAG laser: – The wavelength of Er: YAG laser falls into the infrared region of the wavelength spectrum. It is a solid state and non- ablative laser. When Erbium YAG laser is targeted on the skin heat is generated which eliminates the problematic skin cells. Er: YAG laser is used in treating moderate wrinkles and facial lines, freckles, Melasma, small pox scars, acne scars and skin which has been damaged due to excessive exposure to sun. This treatment is very precise and can be used very selectively on the tissues.

Fractional resurfacing laser treatment is used for removing the top layers of skin tissue to reveal the layer of rejuvenated skin. The skin which has problems is specifically targeted for resurfacing and rejuvenation. Laser rejuvenation and resurfacing treatment is the best non- invasive treatment which means the treatment does not involve any type of incisions. Sometimes, laser skin resurfacing and rejuvenation can also be used in combination of other treatments.

A patient who decides to undergo laser resurfacing and rejuvenation treatment does not need any preparation before the treatment. In most cases, there is no pain caused by laser resurfacing and rejuvenation but a slight discomfort may be experienced by the patient during the treatment. This discomfort does not last after the treatment. If a person experiences extreme discomfort during the laser resurfacing and rejuvenation treatment some topical anesthesia may be given, but in most cases the discomfort during the laser treatment is tolerable.

There were some side effects that were associated with laser skin resurfacing and rejuvenation treatment but with the improvements over the years, skin laser treatment has become very safe and therefore can be the best choice for rejuvenation in India.
