Where reading ends for laser resurfacing

The page at my.clevelandclinic.org states that laser resurfacing uses lasers to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and scars. This hub is cautious about every step, from preparation to healing, and about who runs the laser.

Four outside pages give the wider picture: The Aesthetic Society's laser skin resurfacing page, how dermatologists treat sun-damaged skin, a guide to treatments that reduce wrinkles and WebMD's overview of benefits, side effects and average cost.

Start with how lasers work

These questions carry the least risk. They explain the method and what to expect from it.

Then preparation and healing

Here you take on real downtime. Read these before you book, and keep them in hand afterward.

Last, whether the laser suits your skin

These carry the most risk. The answer depends on your skin, and a wrong guess costs the most here.

One warning for every question here

Do not decide your own settings, your own laser or your own aftercare from an article. A trained professional should examine your skin before the first pulse.
