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

Patients may experience mild sunburn, redness, and swelling after the fractional skin resurfacing procedure. In some cases, blisters and yellow liquid can be observed during and after the procedure. Patients will be advised not to scratch the treated skin area in order to avoid leaving scar marks. The skin will become dry and peel a week after the procedure.

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 throughout your recovery.

 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.

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.
