The owner of Zormeier Cosmetic Surgery & Longevity Center, Michele Zormeier, MD, ensures quality facial and anti-aging patient care. Having obtained her medical degree from Wayne State University, Michele Zormeier, MD, draws on years of experience to utilize various nonsurgical cosmetic procedures like laser resurfacing.
Also referred to as lasabrasion and laser vaporization, laser resurfacing is the process of reducing wrinkles, acne scars, and other irregularities on a patient’s face or other areas of the skin. It involves exposing the skin to microbeams or pulsating light beams, which in turn remove layers of skin to achieve the desired tone and texture.
After the procedure, the skin will feel warm and appear sunburned. The physician will then prescribe the patient regimens to help the newly repaired area heal. The patient must avoid exposure to direct sunlight during this period of recovery. As the skin undergoes healing, it starts to flake.
Laser resurfacing can be performed on certain parts of the face, neck, upper chest, hands, and arms.
