Skin resurfacing is a treatment for the skin; it refreshes the skin layers and creates a better smooth looking skin.
The skin resurfacing treatment can treat: wrinkles, scars (including acne scars), and skin pigmentation spots.
The damage which includes the skin spots and the wrinkles comes from:
Over sun exposure, age, genes, lifestyle, such as: smoking, drinking, and nutrition; the brown spots can appear because of birth control pills use and pregnancy, which affects hormones level.
The skin resurface can be made at any age, but the patient should consult the surgeon for the best suited skin resurfacing treatment for his/her condition.

Skin Resurfacing Cosmetic Surgery Procedure: |
There are different kinds of skin resurfacing treatments:
- Chemical peel: The surgeon uses a solution to apply on the face or on the part that is required.
The surgeon leaves the solution for a while on the face, depending on the treatment.
There is a variety of chemical peelings for different skin types, severity, and type of surgery.
- Laser resurfacing: The laser resurfacing treatment vaporizes the upper layer of the skin, leaving it smooth and with no marks.
- Dermabrasion: skin resurfacing by using a spinning wheel device. The dermabrasion takes off the upper layer and leaves smooth face with no wrinkles, pigmentation spots, and scars.
