Laser Skin Resurfacing

激光煥膚

Public Education

Description 描述:
Laser skin resurfacing is a cosmetic procedure that uses focused beams of light to remove damaged skin layers and stimulate collagen production. This treatment can significantly improve skin texture, tone, and overall appearance. There are two main types of lasers used for skin resurfacing:

Ablative lasers: These remove the outer layers of skin (epidermis) and heat the underlying skin (dermis). Examples include CO2 and Erbium lasers.
Non-ablative lasers: These heat the dermis without removing the epidermis. Examples include Nd:YAG and fractional lasers.

激光煥膚是一種使用聚焦光束去除受損皮膚層並刺激膠原蛋白生成的美容程序。這種治療可以顯著改善皮膚質地、膚色和整體外觀。用於皮膚煥膚的激光主要有兩種類型：

剝脫式激光：這種激光去除外層皮膚（表皮），並加熱下層皮膚（真皮）。例如包括二氧化碳激光和鉺激光。
非剝脫式激光：這種激光加熱真皮而不去除表皮。例如包括鈮釔鋁石榴石激光和點陣激光。

Expected Outcomes 預期結果:
Results vary depending on the type of laser used and the condition being treated. Ablative laser treatments typically show more dramatic results but require longer recovery times. Non-ablative treatments may require multiple sessions but have shorter recovery periods.

Immediate effects often include redness and swelling, which subside over days to weeks. As healing progresses, patients typically notice smoother, tighter skin with improved tone and texture. Full results may not be apparent for several months as collagen production continues to improve the skin.

結果因使用的激光類型和治療的狀況而異。剝脫式激光治療通常顯示更戲劇性的效果，但需要更長的恢復時間。非剝脫式治療可能需要多次療程，但恢復期較短。

立即效果通常包括發紅和腫脹，這些會在幾天到幾週內消退。隨著治療的進行，患者通常會注意到皮膚更光滑、更緊緻，膚色和質地得到改善。由於膠原蛋白生成持續改善皮膚，完整效果可能需要幾個月才能顯現。
