Fractional Skin Resurfacing Q&A

What is fractional skin resurfacing?

Fractional skin resurfacing allows Dr. Amir to precisely target specific trouble spots on your face without damaging your surrounding tissue. The laser beam of light travels down through columns of the damaged skin cells you want to be replaced, heating them up and destroying them along the way. Dr. Amir can control the location and depth of the laser to ensure that he only treats what’s needed, leaving your healthy skin cells intact.

What does fractional skin resurfacing correct?

Dr. Amir recommends fractional laser resurfacing for a number of issues, including:

Wrinkles
Acne scars
Skin imperfections around the mouth and eyes
Sun and age spots

What is the procedure like?

Before Dr. Amir begins, he applies a topical anesthetic to the area he’s treating. During your procedure, which he performs in his office, you may feel a sensation much like a rubber band snapping against your skin. There’s no cutting or blood during the procedure, and Dr. Amir ensures that you’re as comfortable as possible. The procedure typically lasts less than an hour, and you’re free to go home afterward.

When will I see results?

One of the reasons many of Dr. Amir’s patients like fractional skin resurfacing is that there is little downtime and minimal pain. Because of the precision of this laser technique, Dr. Amir only treats the specific areas of concern, allowing the surrounding tissue to provide critical support as your skin heals. Your results will be gradual as your skin works to rebuild itself. As your skin naturally flushes out the destroyed skin cells, new ones grow in their stead, aided by increased collagen and elastin production. Typically, a month after your treatment is when you’ll begin to see optimal results.

How many treatments do I need?

While every situation is different, Dr. Amir can often achieve your goals in just one treatment, especially when it comes to correcting minor imperfections. After reviewing the areas you’d like treated, Dr. Amir gives you a clear picture of what to expect and whether you may need more than one treatment.

Testimonials

Obsessed with this place. Everyone is so nice and accommodating. Dr Amir is amazing! His attention to detail is incredible. I’ve had fillers done in the past but this is the first time I had anyone “map at my face” so to speak in order to place the injections in the proper area. Couldn’t be happier with the results and I’m looking forward to going back for Botox in and few weeks! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Excellent experience here! Staff is very nice and personable, Dr. Amir has a wonderful bedside manner. He takes the time to educate you in your concerns and walk you through the process. I was able to have a few of my concerns addressed right away at my first visit! I will definitely continue to see Dr. Amir, and refer my friends!
