Lasabrasion – New word for Webster’s 2009
January 21st, 2009
Every year Webster’s adds new entries to its treatise of words. Some of these words are slang, some are modifications of existing words, and yet others are just brand spankin’ new and deserve a little recognition (one of the new words from 2008 was webinar, by the way).
For 2009, Skin Fitness Facts recommends to Webster that it adds the word “lasabrasion,” which is a skin care procedure also known as laser resurfacing, laser peel, and laser vaporization.
This procedure is done in a dermatologist’s office and…you guessed it…involves the use of lasers to treat the skin for various skin conditions such as melasma, acne, scarring, and aging. Said laser makes contact with the damaged skin cells and using heat corrects the problem on the first several layers of the skin.
If lasabrasion isn’t in your budget or if you don’t think you need it, deep exfoliation through an at-home chemical peel or microdermabrasion kit may be right for you.
