Once Dr. Prischmann determines a patient is a good candidate, she discusses the depth of resurfacing. In general, deeper peels are more powerful, but also have more discomfort and downtime.  Our laser procedures are performed in-office. Depending on the depth of laser resurfacing, anesthesia (topical or local) is provided prior to treatment. Oral medications are also provided for deeper peels. If oral medications are used, a driver is required for the procedure. Virtually all deeper laser resurfacing patients are pre-treated with antiviral medications, regardless of a history of cold sores. The procedure takes 30 to 60 minutes.","description":"Laser skin resurfacing is a very effective procedure to rejuvenate the skin and delay aging. Using the latest laser technology, our experienced facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Jess Prischmann, is able to maximize results and individualize treatments while maintaining safety and minimizing risks to her patients.","url":"https:\/\/www.mnfacialplastics.com\/non-surgical\/laser-skin-resurfacing-minneapolis\/","followup":"Downtime associated with laser resurfacing depends on the depth of treatment. Mild treatments have minimal recovery time. Moderate treatments can have 5-7 days of downtime. Deep treatments can have 7 to 10 days of downtime. Meticulous care of the skin is required. Patients are often placed on antibiotics and antiviral medications to prevent infections.","image":"https:\/\/mnfacialplastics.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/0054-200x300.jpg","medicineSystem":"WesternConventional","name":"Laser Skin Resurfacing","procedureType":"NoninvasiveProcedure","relevantSpecialty":"Dermatology","@id":"https:\/\/www.mnfacialplastics.com\/non-surgical\/laser-skin-resurfacing-minneapolis\/"}
