Laser resurfacing for an asian female

I am an asian female and have been thinking about undergoing fractional laser resurfacing for my wrinkles. Will it work for me?

Fractional laser resurfacing is fast becoming the procedure of choice to reverse some signs of aged skin. There are several laser devices which are available today which can be used for fractional resurfacing.

The essential premise of this technology is that unlike previous lasers, the latest generation of lasers can treat selective areas of the skin without damaging the nearby skin.  

Although different lasers vary in their depth of skin penetration, the overall results of all these latest lasers are comparable. You have to be realistic because lasers are over hyped. Doctors are always looking to scam patients with bogus treatments. These lasers only remove mild skin blemishes. If you have deep creases and wrinkles, there is no laser that will reverse that. What you see on the internet are photoshoped images to sell the therapy. The Hollywood celebs in the ads are paid millions of dollars with altered images to sell products.

Laser resurfacing is not for everyone. There are some individuals who definitely should not undergo laser resurfacing. Dark skinned individuals generally tend to have poorer results and a higher chance of complications.

Individuals who have a flare up of acne or a herpes infection should wait until the condition is over before undergoing laser resurfacing.
Individuals with burn scars, psoriasis or active skin infection should not undergo laser resurfacing.

In any cases, the skin smoothening affect of all lasers only last a few months at most. To prolong the benefits of laser resurfacing, one should avoid smoking and excessive sun exposure Plus, fractional laser is not cheap. Expect to pay several thousand dollars for each session. There is ZERO guarantee that the laser will produce good results but high probability that it can cause complications.
