Cosmetic laser surgery is a fantastic weapon in Dr. Jasin's arsenal as a high-tech method of accomplishing many things that used to be performed with a scalpel. Dr. Jasin can help revitalize your looks using laser surgery.
Laser Surgery Treatments
Several procedures may be performed using a laser. A laser is a light ray which uses high-energy to transmit light power into the skin tissue in order to treat it. Treatments which may be performed using a laser include:
- Acne scar repair
- Age spot removal
- Birthmark removal (including port wine stains)
- Eyebrow lifting
- Hair removal for unsightly hairs
- Laser Skin Resurfacing (skin peeling)
- Precancerous lesion removal
- Scar diminishment or removal
- Tattoo reduction or elimination
- Vein appearance reduction or removal (including "spider veins")
- Wart removal
- Wrinkle reduction or elimination
Benefits
The reason that laser surgery is so popular is that it offers many benefits over conventional facial surgery including:
- Less invasiveness than traditional surgery due to tissue removal occurring only on the surface level
- Minimal harm to any nearby tissue
- Minimal, if any, scarring
- No bleeding
- No infections
- No pain
- No stitches
- No swelling
- Safer than traditional surgery
Risks
Any cosmetic surgery has risks of complications. However laser surgery minimizes these risks. And when complications do appear they are typically minor and diminish over time. Temporary complications such as redness or tenderness around the surgery site may occur. In very rare cases there may be a permanent lightening of skin color. Scarring and infection may also occur. However these are usually a result of not following Dr. Jasin's recommendations for postsurgical care.
Candidates for Laser Surgery
Most people make good candidates. Dr. Jasin will make sure you are a good candidate for laser surgery or recommend another procedure which he believes may be more beneficial to you. As always when getting rejuvenating procedures, you should be realistic about your expectations for the surgery.
Women who are pregnant or nursing or people with cardio diseases or other severe heath issues should not have laser surgery. Those who smoke may also not be good candidates.
If you have always wanted to give your face a new lease on life but were afraid of cutting and scalpels, wait no more.
