Previously, people whose fine lines and other irregularities didn't respond to creams could chose from chemical peels or dermabrasion (a bloody procedure in which a spinning wheel or brush removes layers of skin). But neither could be controlled as precisely as the new lasers. These pulsed and scanned lasers remove the sun-damaged outer layers of skin. Natural regeneration produces smooth, fresh tissue. Also, doctors theorize that shrinkage of underlying collagen tissue may help explain why the new skin appears tighter

Laser skin resurfacing is a relatively new cosmetic procedure that is designed  to improve the overall appearance of the skin by reduce or eliminate damaged skin. This laser cosmetic procedure involves an intense laser beam to destroy flawed skin cells, which are then replaced naturally by new skin cells. Laser resurfacing provides a very fast way to treats your damaged surface skin, acne scars, sun damaged skin and reduce deep wrinkles and fine lines around areas such as the eyes, mouth and cheeks.
