Laser Skin Resurfacing Before & After Case 2577

This patient, a 72-year-old woman, elected to undergo laser skin resurfacing in Los Angeles to address visible sun damage and age-related changes on her face and neck. She expressed concerns about deep skin folds, tan lines, dark spots, and the overall texture of her skin—especially in areas where she had less frequent sunscreen use. Her goal was to improve the quality and appearance of her skin without a surgical procedure.

During her treatment, she received fractional CO2 laser resurfacing to both the face and neck. The photos above show her results. The procedure greatly improved the texture of her skin, especially around the mouth and neck. She noticed a significant reduction in sunspots, precancerous areas, and fine lines. Although some deeper folds and bands remained, as is expected with non-surgical approaches, the overall appearance and feel of her skin were noticeably enhanced.

Recovery was straightforward, and the patient was able to return to normal activities after the initial healing period. She reported satisfaction with the improvement in skin tone and a softer, more even texture. For non-surgical facial rejuvenation, laser skin resurfacing in Los Angeles can be a good option for patients with similar concerns, especially those with lighter skin types.
