Laser Resurfacing in Nashville

Our laser resurfacing device is not just for the face. While this is the most common application, we can also use MiXto to treat the neck, chest, arms, and hands.

In Nashville, DeLozier Plastic Surgery’s highly qualified team can help you determine your candidacy during an initial consultation.

Typically we treat patients over the age of 18, but can work with patients of any age with parental consent. In fact, there are a variety of use cases for MiXto:

1. Younger patients with severe acne scars.
2. Middle-aged patients with wrinkles and age spots.
3. Mature patients with wrinkles, age spots, and/or pre-cancerous lesions.

In addition to aligning your goals, timeline, and budget, we will also ensure your skin is healthy enough for treatment. We will assess the quality of the skin, checking for any signs of active acne or open wounds.

Depending on the severity of your wrinkles or scarring, we may recommend 2 or more treatments. However, in most cases, a single session of MiXto laser resurfacing can help you achieve significant improvement.

After laser resurfacing in Nashville at DeLozier Plastic Surgery, you will be sent home with detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a safe and expeditious recovery. You should expect to be red and swollen the next day; with these side effects subsiding into peeling and itchiness through the second, third, and fourth days.

The overall experience of laser resurfacing is very common to having a sunburn, and you should treat your skin with the same level of care and attention. Further, it’s incredibly important you do not expose the treated area to the sun during your recovery.

That said, initial results are immediate—even while performing the procedure, you can visualize the skin contracting and shrinking as a reaction to the CO2 energy. These results will continue to improve after the skin has completely peeled, and for up to 6 months afterward, as new collagen regeneration adds further structure and suppleness to the treated area.
