Laser treatments for “sandpaper” skin
Posted by: Laser Treatments MD In: Cosmetic Laser| Laser Clinic| Laser Dermatology| Laser Skin Resurfacing| Laser Treatment ()
Skin that that feels almost like sandpaper often has a dull, muddy complexion. This is caused by a buildup of dead skin that stays on the surface for for long periods of time—too long.
It’s important to rev up your natural shedding process to remove dead skin and expose fresh skin. A prescription topical retinoid, glycolic peels and microdermabrasion can increase cell turnover.
You may also want to consider Erbium or fractionated laser treatments, which deeply penetrate the skin to increase cell turnover, diminishing the look and feel of dull, rough, lifeless skin. Keep in mind, however, that these treatments require at least a week of downtime.
