Whether you’re looking to reduce signs of aging or improve your skin’s texture, laser skin resurfacing can help you have a glowing complexion that reflects your natural beauty.
Benefits of Laser Skin Resurfacing
Laser skin resurfacing offers a range of benefits for various skin concerns:
- Smoother Texture: Minimizes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for a more youthful complexion.
- Improved Tone: Lightens dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone.
- Minimized Scarring: Diminishes the appearance of acne scars and other blemishes.
- Increased Collagen Production: Stimulates collagen to restore firmness and elasticity.
- Non-Invasive: Achieves significant results without surgery or extensive downtime.
- Customizable Treatments: Customized to your skin type and goals for maximum results.
What to Expect During Laser Skin Resurfacing?
Laser skin resurfacing uses concentrated light energy to remove damaged outer layers of skin while stimulating the underlying layers to produce new, healthy cells. The type of laser we use depends on your skin concerns and goals:
Ablative Lasers
These eliminate the outer layer of skin for deeper rejuvenation, addressing wrinkles, scars, and texture issues.
Non-Ablative Lasers
These target deeper layers of skin without damaging the surface, which is ideal for treating discoloration and stimulating collagen production.
The treatment typically takes 30-90 minutes, depending on the treatment area and intensity. Most patients see visible improvements after a single session, with optimal results after several treatments.

The laser skin resurfacing procedure is ideal for those who:
- Have fine lines, wrinkles, or mild sagging.
- Struggle with uneven skin tone, sun damage, or hyperpigmentation.
- Want to diminish the appearance of acne scars or surgical scars.

Frequently Asked Questions
You’ll notice improvements in skin texture and tone within a few days to a week as the outer layers of damaged skin are removed. Deeper treatments may take longer to reveal full results as the skin heals and regenerates. Collagen production continues for weeks or even months after the procedure, leading to gradual enhancements in firmness and elasticity.
Most patients report the sensation as mild warmth or a slight tingling, similar to a gentle prickling feeling. For deeper treatments or more sensitive areas, a topical numbing cream can be used to lessen discomfort. Advanced laser technology with built-in cooling features also helps to maintain the skin comfortable throughout the treatment.
The number of sessions required depends on your specific skin concerns, goals, and the intensity of the treatment. Many patients see noticeable improvements after one session, especially for minor issues like dullness or fine lines. For more serious concerns such as acne scars or deep wrinkles, 3-6 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart are often recommended. Your provider will design an individualized treatment plan based on your needs.
Mild redness, swelling, and peeling are the most common side effects, often described as a sensation similar to a mild sunburn. These effects typically subside within a few days. For deeper treatments, some patients may experience slight crusting or scabbing as the skin heals, which is a normal part of the recovery process.
