Laser Skin Resurfacing is the more intense of the two skin resurfacing procedures performed at the Cooksey Vision and Cosmetic Center with the groundbreaking Sciton Erbium Profile Laser. When the MicroLaserPeel, which ablates the first 20 to 50 microns of the surface of the skin, is too mild a procedure for the problem, a Laser Skin Resurfacing session can provide noticeable improvement.  Conditions such as wrinkles, epidermal nevi, acne scars, solar lentigines, actinic keratoses, hypertrophic scars and surgical scars can all be treated with amazing success. Wrinkles will soften and become less noticeable or even disappear, and pigmented lesions will greatly improve.

The treatment removes thin layers of the surface of the skin, which promotes new skin growth and the formation of collagen underneath the skin’s surface. The incredibly precise Sciton Erbium Profile Laser is computer controlled, and scans the area to be treated automatically, enabling Dr. Cooksey to vary the depth of the laser as appropriate for each patient.  A typical treatment lasts from a few minutes to a half an hour, depending on the size of the area to be treated and the depth of the laser.
