Laser skin resurfacing This procedure, performed by a physician, helps remove fine lines, diminish the appearance of deep wrinkles, reduce sun damaged spots, and improve acne scarring. It produces outstanding results in removing wrinkles around the mouth, especially noticeable in long term smokers. The laser produces a high- density beam of light that removes multiple layers of skin, penetrating as deep as the reticular dermis if necessary.
