Laser Skin Resurfacing
A laser treatment that improves skin texture, tone, and fine lines by promoting new, healthier skin growth.
What is Laser Skin Resurfacing?
Laser skin resurfacing uses focused laser energy to remove damaged outer layers of skin, or in the case of non-ablative lasers, to stimulate collagen production beneath the surface without removing skin, improving overall texture, tone, and fine lines. Your practitioner selects the appropriate laser type and intensity based on your specific skin concerns, with treatment sessions typically taking thirty minutes to an hour. Depending on the laser type used, recovery ranges from minimal downtime for gentler treatments to a week or more for more intensive ablative resurfacing.
Why is this procedure performed?
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Uneven skin texture or tone
- Sun damage and age spots
- Acne scarring
- A desire for overall skin rejuvenation
How does this procedure help?
Laser resurfacing stimulates your skin's natural healing and collagen production, resulting in noticeably smoother, more even-toned, and youthful-looking skin over the following weeks to months. The specific laser technology and intensity can be tailored to match your desired balance of results and downtime. Many patients see continued improvement in skin quality for several months following treatment as new collagen continues to form.
