Tri-County Medical Clinic offers laser skin treatments year-round. However, we refer to winter as “Laser Season” because of the practical and biological advantages this time of year offers.
Request a consultation for more information on our choices for advanced facial laser resurfacing in Macomb, MI, and read on to understand why these months are the best months for light-based treatments.
The Winter Advantage for Laser Skin Resurfacing
The winter months provide an excellent opportunity for improved recovery time after having laser treatment.
During the winter season in Michigan, patients tend to experience:
- More time indoors
- Weather-related reductions in outdoor sun exposure
- A lower UV index outdoors
- Reduced social interactions in winter
This combination of stay-at-home tendencies, combined with cloudier weather, provides an improved environment for social downtime and healing.
Recovery Time Is Key
Our Helix Laser and CO2 Cool Peel Laser offer unique approaches to facial skin resurfacing and skin tightening.
Each delivers ablative properties, removing the top layer of dull and dead skin so that healthier skin can show. We adjust the depth of this ablation according to your concerns and goals.
The Helix laser can also deliver non-ablative treatment, heating deeper tissues to enhance collagen and elastin production for sub-dermal remodeling (sometimes called a “non-surgical laser facelift”). Both also deliver photo-aging correction for more even skin tone and texture.
These treatments require recovery time, during which you should:
- Avoid direct sun exposure, because healing skin is more susceptible to UV damage
- Refrain from picking at or rubbing off old skin tissue instead of letting nature take its course
- Leave scabs or dry skin where it is to fall off on its own
- Avoid chemical exfoliants for at least 2 weeks post procedure
FAQs About Laser Resurfacing
In Macomb, MI, and surrounding communities, our patients ask smart questions. We enjoy educating them so that they can make knowledgeable decisions for their aesthetic and wellness care.
How long does laser skin resurfacing last?
Laser skin resurfacing results last for different lengths of time, depending on the preferred treatment technology, environmental factors, patient’s skincare regimen, lifestyle choices, and natural aging process.
For general expectations:
- Helix Laser: Results last an average of 1 to 3 years.
- CO2 Cool Peel Laser: Results last on average for 6 to 12 months or more.
Your results will vary.
Is laser resurfacing good for your face?
Laser resurfacing is good for facial skin for several reasons. It can:
- Boost natural collagen production, improving firmness and suppleness.
- Treats specific issues such as broken capillaries and other skin conditions.
- Tighten pores to reduce acne outbreaks.
- Reduce signs of aging for improved confidence.
Be sure to discuss your goals for treatment during your consultation with a Tri-County Medical Clinic provider.
