In laser skin resurfacing a laser is used to remove areas
of damaged or wrinkled skin, layer by layer. The procedure
is most commonly used to minimize the appearance of fine lines,
especially around the mouth and the eyes. However, it is also
effective in treating facial scars or areas of uneven pigmentation.
Laser resurfacing may be performed on the whole face or in
specific regions. Often, the procedure is done in conjunction
with another cosmetic operation, such as a facelift or eyelid
surgery.
