Laser Skin Resurfacing & Laser Hair Removal – Little Rock, Arkansas

Your skin spends all day every day protecting your body from the elements. Over the years, the toll of being the first line of defense against the sun, wind, toxins, UV rays, and cigarette smoke, not to mention stress and poor nutrition, begins to show. The skin loses the smoothness and resilience it once had, and fine lines appear near the eyes, the mouth, the forehead, and across the cheeks. While facelift surgery is the optimal treatment for deep creases and jowls, laser skin resurfacing at our office in Little Rock is the ideal treatment for deep facial wrinkles, sun-damaged skin, unevenly pigmented skin, and age spots.

Laser hair removal at our Arkansas surgery center is another effective treatment. This amazing procedure is safe, effective, and produces permanent reduction of hair.

Laser Skin Resurfacing by Dr. Yee in Arkansas

During a laser skin resurfacing session at our office in Little Rock, Dr. Suzanne Yee employs a specialized laser that emits an intense beam of energy that heats the skin. As Dr. Yee guides the beam over damaged and wrinkled skin, the outer layers peel away. Deep lines, acne scars, and other flaws are smoothed, and the softer skin beneath emerges.

Who is a Good Candidate for Laser Skin Resurfacing

Good candidates for laser skin resurfacing treatment at our Little Rock surgery center include anyone with a light complexion who burns easily and has many fine facial lines, and those with deep lines around the lips and eyes, moderate wrinkling, splotchy pigmentation, acne scars, or pock marks.

What to Expect After the Surgery

Normally, laser skin resurfacing patients at our Little Rock cosmetic surgery center enjoy a short recovery time following the procedure. Much of the healing occurs in the first two weeks. During this time, Dr. Yee will advise patients that the treated areas need to be kept moist. The initial redness fades in a few weeks to a light pink, which can be camouflaged with cosmetics and usually disappears completely in about three to six months. Dr. Yee uses state of the art recovery treatments to assist the natural healing process.

Laser Hair Removal by Dr. Yee in Arkansas

Traditional methods of hair removal - shaving, waxing, depilatories, etc - are often painful, temporary, and time-consuming. They can also lead to unsightly bumps and ingrown hairs. Laser hair removal from our Arkansas surgery center can permanently reduce and painlessly remove unwanted hair anywhere on the body. Laser hair removal from our Arkansas practice is particularly beneficial in areas that are hard to reach and shave, and sensitive areas where waxing or shaving can be painful.

Laser hair removal eliminates coarse stubble that causes hair follicle inflammation, and produces up to 80 percent reduction in hair after just one treatment. Laser hair removal patients at our Arkansas practice often notice softer, smoother skin after their initial treatment. Men and women of all ages and skin types are good candidates for this procedure. Laser hair removal is particularly effective on Pseudofolliculitis Barbae in our African-American patients.
