Laser skin resurfacing is increasingly popular with men and women seeking non-invasive facial rejuvenation. Patients come to Stallman Cosmetic Surgery from Santa Barbara to Paso Robles to refresh and revitalize their look.

Over time the nature of our skin slowly changes. Fine lines, wrinkles and pigmentary changes occur. Years of sun exposure result in breakdown of elastin and collagen in our skin and may result in a weathered appearance with wrinkles and dark spots. This is referred to as photodamage.

If you live in San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, or Fresno County and you are seriously considering laser skin resurfacing for facial rejuvenation, we invite you to call (805) 481-3733 or send us an email today to arrange an appointment with Dr. Paul Stallman.

Laser skin resurfacing is an extremely effective method of reversing the effects of time and the elements on our skin. A laser is utilized to ablate or remove the surface layers of damaged or uneven skin. The energy of the laser then stimulates collagen within the deeper skin to contract. Over time this results in new collagen deposition. As this occurs there is an overall tightening effect on the skin with improvement in lines, wrinkles and pigmentary irregularities. Laser resurfacing is generally very effective at treating wrinkles in the region around the eyes, mouth and forehead. Actual sagging in the lid or jowl areas may respond better to surgical lifting procedures.

After 7-10 days of healing, a new fresh layer of skin is in place. Typically, this will appear pink and slowly returns to normal skin tone over time. Patients may wear camouflaging makeup after approximately ten days and are advised to avoid significant sun exposure during the first six weeks. The best candidates are usually non-smoking fair-skinned individuals.
