Wrinkle Treatment Using Laser | Nürnberger Klinik for aesthetic and plastic surgery

Highly Focused, Very Precise

During laser resurfacing therapy, very thin layers of the upper epidermis are removed in a very precise and targeted way in order to smoothen wrinkles. On the one hand, this evens out the “hills and valleys” of the creased skin (much like a surface peeling). On the other hand, the laser stimulates the skin to produce new collagen, an effect lasting several months, so that there is indeed a long-term effect: the skin becomes more elastic, looking younger and firmer.

As one may imagine, exact control during this process is essential. Modern laser resurfacing comprises high-performance, computer-controlled surface guidance, i.e. a type of scanner that “reads” the skin surface, controlling the treatment depth individually and with extreme precision.
