Giving your face a smooth, spotless look

Welcome to our Resurfacting informational page. Here we will discuss the different resurfacing options offered by Dr. Golger and the team at Avenue Plastic Surgery here in Toronto.

Resurfacing, also called facial rejuvenation, is a surgical operation meant to give a patient’s face a fresher and smoother look. The principle of resurfacing is to enhance the structure of the facial skin in order to address problems of lines, pigmentation problems, scarring and other cosmetic and medical issues. General requirements to undergo a resurfacing procedure are a good general health, and precise and reasonable expectations. As it is the case for many surgical procedures, being a non-smoker is always preferable.

Procedures

Facial wrinkles are usually treated with laser techniques. Scarring and other structural problems will typically be taken care of through laser as well as abrasion techniques. Chemical techniques and laser are the preferred methods to treat dark spots and other skin discoloration problems.

Minimizing risks and complications

Skin resurfacing is a very personal procedure, and your profile will determine exactly which technique or mix of techniques can best match both your objectives and your skin and medical profile. Risks are to be taken into account and can include for example pigmentation problems. All the risks and complications of the procedure will be detailed to you during your preliminary assessment with Dr. Golger.

Recovery

A resurfacing procedure is tailored for each patient and will vary widely from one person to another. As a result, recovery time and side effects will also depend on your profile and the operation you underwent. Dr. Golger will be able to give you all the required information on what to expect and how to deal with side effects.

Resurfacing is a very delicate cosmetic procedure and may involve several sessions in order to give you the best results. It is also important to note that although it is a very effective technique, it obviously doesn’t slow down the aging process, and some patients might require additional resurfacing operations sooner than others.
