Laser-Resurfacing

Wavelength matched to chromophore
PIH risk managed by phototype
Controlled downtime via fractional healing
Does not remove excess skin the way surgery does

Laser resurfacing is a chosen wavelength interacting with water or pigment chromophore to create microthermal zones (MTZs) or an ablative surface. The aim is pigment, fine line, acne scar and pore appearance. Phototype (Fitzpatrick), herpes history and downtime tolerance set the device and parameters. Darker skin carries higher PIH risk. Laser does not remove the skin excess of blepharoplasty or a facelift; it can also be planned as a quality tool after surgery.

Sicherheit und Nachsorge nach der Behandlung

Der Eingriff auf einen Blick

AnästhesieTopical / sedation (ablative)

Sitzungsdauer30–60 min

Sitzungen1 ablative or 3–5 fractional

Beständigkeit der ErgebnisseCollagen matures 3–6 months

Rückkehr zur Arbeit3–14 days (by energy)

ErholungszeitRedness days–weeks

Controlled thermal injury, then wound healing

In selective photothermolysis, wavelength, pulse width and fluence heat the target chromophore (water, melanin, haemoglobin) more than neighbours. Ablative CO₂ (~10 600 nm) and Er:YAG (~2940 nm) vaporise epidermal water, peeling the surface and heating dermis; collagen denaturation and later neocollagenesis are the physics behind the ‘tightening’ claim. Fractional scanning leaves intact bridges between microscopic treatment zones; re-epithelialisation takes days and infection/scar risk is lower than a fully ablative field. Non-ablative 1550/1927 nm bands spare epidermis more. IPL is polychromatic light used for pigment and redness, not classic resurfacing. Results mature over 3–6 months; there is no one-session miracle.

Aftercare timeline

Risiken und Sicherheit

01Prolonged erythema
02PIH or hypopigmentation
03HSV reactivation
04Infection (bacterial / fungal)
05Scar or textural line (excess energy)
06Ectropion risk (aggressive periorbital ablative)

The right indication, anatomical planning and careful technique reduce complication risk.

Eingriffsarten

01
Fractional ablative (CO₂ / Er:YAG)
Water-chromophore epidermal vaporisation and dermal heat — strong for scars and marked photoageing, with longer downtime.
02
Non-ablative fractional
Epidermis largely spared; dermal coagulation. Less crust, a series of sessions, moderate textural gain.
03
Pigment and vascular protocol
Melanin or haemoglobin targets (e.g. IPL / vascular laser) — not the same physics as resurfacing; phototype limits are strict.
