Question:
If I look up close at my face in the magnification mirror, I see fine wrinkles almost all over my face. Are these tiny wrinkles the type of wrinkles that laser resurfacing erases?
Answer:
In general, I would recommend not utilizing a magnification mirror to analyze your face. A better option would be to analyze the face in the mirror from 2-3 feet. This will give you a better impression of the true aging characteristics of your skin. Wrinkles which are visible in this manner can be easily treated with laser resurfacing techniques. There is a host of available treatments in fact to help fine lines and wrinkles and only a consultation will determine which procedure is most beneficial for an individual patient.
