Laser Skin Resurfacing in Pismo Beach with Dr. Stallman
Dr. Stallman often uses lasers to treat patients from Paso Robles and Atascadero down to San Luis Obispo, Pismo Beach and Santa Maria. Many patients from the Central Valley and Santa Barbara have chosen to see him for these procedures as well. He has extensive experience with skin lasers been performing Laser Resurfacing since the first generation of these lasers became available around 1993. Laser skin resurfacing is an extremely effective method of reversing the effects of time and the elements on our skin. A laser is utilized to ablate or remove the surface layers of damaged or uneven skin. The energy of the laser then stimulates collagen within the deeper skin to contract. Over time this results in new collagen deposition. As this occurs there is an overall tightening effect on the skin with improvement in lines, wrinkles and pigmentary irregularities. Laser resurfacing is generally very effective at treating wrinkles in the region around the eyes, mouth and forehead. It is also excellent at reducing irregular pigmentation and dark spots on the skin. Actual sagging in the lid or jowl areas may respond better to surgical lifting procedures such as eyelid surgery or facelift procedures.

Meet Ann MarieSome patients may also be better candidates for another non-surgical anti-aging approach using IPL, BOTOX® Cosmetic injections, microneedling, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, or other treatments. Patients bothered by skin redness, fine blood vessels on the skin or hyperpigmentation (darkened sun spots) may find better results with our KTP laser, which uses green light to diffuse areas of redness and can treat these unwanted skin blemishes. Often, such treatments can be combined for a comprehensive effect. Dr. Stallman can help you decide which treatments are best.
Dr. Stallman utilizes a state of the art CO2 fractional laser to perform this type of treatment. The laser directs a grid pattern of tiny pulses of laser light at the skin. Each pulse delivers a column of energy that reaches the skin’s dermal layer, where the body reacts by producing new collagen, improving the appearance and texture of the skin. The laser beam is fractionated, leaving small areas of untreated skin between the treated spots, allowing the healing process to be accelerated in comparison to older laser procedures. Depending on the patient and treatment goals, Dr. Stallman can increase or decrease the density of these spots to customize a treatment.

Meet the DoctorAfter 7-10 days of healing, a new fresh layer of skin is in place. Typically, this will appear pink and slowly returns to normal skin tone over time.

The best candidates are usually non-smoking fair-skinned individuals.
