Laser Skin Resurfacing in Los Gatos, CA

Countless patients of various ages find themselves with pitted skin, depressions, and undesired lines. To address these problems, Sereno Santé offers laser skin resurfacing utilizing HyGrid™ by Alma Hybrid™, a custom-tailored skin rejuvenation service that utilizes both CO2 ablative and nonablative laser technology. By blending the CO2 and 1570nm devices in one applicator, Hybrid laser treatments are suitable for diminishing lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, scarring, rough skin texture, and an uneven complexion. The Hybrid device is exceptional due to its potential to tailor multiple variables, like the depth of the laser’s penetration. Based on the condition of the patient’s skin, the laser can be calibrated as needed. Using precision and efficiency, Hybrid skin resurfacing treatments could last as little as 10 – 20 minutes to pass over your whole face. Dr. Maia Chakerian and her qualified specialists in Los Gatos, CA, are thrilled to perform this cutting-edge option to let people experience softer, more vibrant, and rejuvenated skin.

Laser skin resurfacing in Los Gatos, CA is geared toward patients who are unsatisfied with their skin’s appearance and/or texture. Common skin concerns and irregularities that can be dramatically improved or even corrected with laser skin resurfacing include: 

• Sun damage
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Redness
• Pigmentation problems
• Enlarged pores
• Rough skin texture
• Scaly skin

Laser skin resurfacing isn’t suggested for anyone who has very dark skin tones or active acne. Also, it’s important to be aware that there could be a healing period associated with this laser procedure. Certain patients, based on their skin condition, may need up to 2 – 3 weeks to recover after laser skin resurfacing.

At Sereno Santé, we understand that your skin might become dehydrated, flat, and expressionless with time. With laser skin resurfacing treatments, we offer our San Jose, CA patients an opportunity at refreshing their complexion with a procedure that yields a number of compelling benefits, including:

• Minimized appearance of wrinkles and aging
• Minimization of pores and inconsistent skin surface
• Reduced appearance of scars and sun damage
• Improved confidence and self-esteem surrounding your appearance

After lighter resurfacing sessions, an ointment will be smoothed over the treated skin and you can return home for your recovery. The skin may look red, and there will be some swelling and irritation. These symptoms subside in a few days, and the skin peeling process may occur over a 3 – 5-day time frame. For those who are undergoing a deeper resurfacing procedure, your recovery time will take longer. The treatment areas may be covered by dressings, and the swelling, burning, and irritation may be stronger. Pain medication can be prescribed to help reduce these side effects of laser skin resurfacing. The recovery time for a deep laser skin resurfacing session can last 2 – 3 weeks.

All patients need to reduce their sun exposure after their laser skin resurfacing session and use sun protection regularly. Regardless of the intensity, the skin will naturally crust, flake, and peel off, but you should not peel the skin yourself. It is important to avoid interfering with the laser skin resurfacing healing process to keep from scarring and to protect the treated area from UV exposure. After the peeling is finished, the treated skin should feel smoother while also looking clearer, younger, and rejuvenated.
