Getting Prepared

The first step is getting a consultation. This is where a medical professional can help you decide if this procedure is ideal for your skin complaints. Approximately 10 days before the treatment, you may need to avoid certain medications. These generally include those that may encourage bleeding, such as vitamin E, aspirin, or ibuprofen.

The Procedure

Laser skin rejuvenation in San Jose typically starts with cleansing the skin. From here, any anesthesia is provided. This is typically a sedative and local anesthetic. This is done to promote comfort during rejuvenation. The patient is then provided with protection for their eyes. There are two laser types used:

  • An erbium laser may be used for wrinkles and lines ranging from superficial to deep
  • A CO2 laser is typically used for other rejuvenation purposes

It takes about 30 minutes to two hours for rejuvenation, depending on the size of the treatment area. The results typically occur over time, but changes may be immediately noticeable. The effects tend to last several years, but aging may cause changes.

Risks and Recovery

There is a chance of risks, but they are usually temporary. They may include:

  • Acne flares
  • Cold sore reactivation
  • Milia
  • Hyperpigmentation
  • Redness
  • Swelling

The length of recovery typically depends on the laser used. It generally takes about one week for an erbium laser and about two weeks for a CO2 laser. The following may promote easier recovery:

  • At night, the patient should elevate their head
  • Avoid use of tobacco
  • Apply ice to the area (along with any ointment you receive at your appointment)

Before deciding on laser skin rejuvenation in San Jose, patients should ensure that their expectations are reasonable. During an initial consultation, you can work with your clinician on your goals to determine if it’s right for you.
