Laser resurfacing is done by a certified and trained plastic surgeon
or dermatologist. You don’t have to get admitted in the hospital.
Most likely, you will have to sit for a few hours in one sitting
depending on how much area of your face needs to be
covered. Treatment of only parts of your face need less than an
hour but full-face treatment can take minimum two hours. For full
face treatment, general anesthesia is given while if only parts of
the face are treated, a local anesthetic is sufficient.
After the procedure, the doctor will seal the treated areas. After a
day, you should thoroughly clean the affected areas at least 4-5
times a day and apply the prescribed ointment (petroleum jelly)
to prevent scabs. You will see swelling on the face after the
process which is absolutely normal. If there is swelling around the
eyes, the doctor may give you some steroids. You can also sleep
on an extra pillow to help reduce the swelling.
