Skin resurfacing ordinarily refers to a surgical policy that physically removes layers from the surface of the skin. Rather than killing a layer that gently peels, this policy removes the tissue layer at the time of surgery. Laser resurfacing and dermabrasion are the two types of skin resurfacing available. Laser treatment destroys the epithelial surface to an even depth. Dermabrasion mechanically (wire brush or rough wheel) grinds down the surface of skin until the surgeon sees the changes he wants.

Cosmetic surgeons and dermatologists use two types of lasers today for laser resurfacing: the carbon dioxide (Co2) and the erbium Yag lasers. They have wee differences that are topics of moot among physicians. Many surgeons feel that the Co2 laser gives more allowance in facial wrinkles, but it ordinarily results in more residual flush following treatment, as well as some increase in inherent pigment loss. Shape 8-7 shows you the results of a Co2 laser treatment.
The erbium Yag laser doesn't give you quite as good a revising of your wrinkles, but you won't have red or pink skin for as long, and your opening of pigment loss is significantly lower. Aggregate (Co2 and erbium Yag) lasers that are now on the shop have been somewhat thriving at combining the benefits of both.
