Laser Resurfacing

  • Laser resurfacing removes skin layer by layer with precision. The new skin cells that form during healing give the skin a tighter, younger looking surface.

    Laser resurfacing can lessen the appearance of fine lines in the face. It can also treat loss of skin tone and improve your complexion.

  • Laser resurfacing can be used to treat:

    • Fine wrinkles

    • Age spots

    • Uneven skin tone or texture

    • Sun-damaged skin

    • Mild to moderate acne scars

  • Potential risks of the procedure include:

    • Burns or other injuries from the laser's heat

    • Scarring

    • Changes in the skin's pigmentation, including areas of darker or lighter skin

    • Reactivating herpes cold sores

    • Bacterial infection

  • If you have fine lines or wrinkles around your eyes or mouth or on your forehead, shallow scars from acne, or non-responsive skin after a facelift, then you may be a good candidate for laser skin resurfacing.

    You may also be a good candidate if you have:

    • Warts

    • Age spots or liver spots

    • Skin scars from birthmarks

    • Sun-damaged skin

    • Enlarged oil glands on your nose

    • Birthmarks such as linear epidermal nevi

    You may not be a candidate for laser resurfacing if you have:

    - Excessive or sagging skin

    • Deep wrinkles

    • Active acne

    • Pregnant or breastfeeding

    • Weakened immune system

    • Deeper skin tone

Laser Resurfacing Treatment

Pre / Post Care

  • Before the procedure, don’t:

    • Avoid unprotected sun exposure. Too much sun up to two months before the procedure can cause permanent irregular pigmentation in treated areas.

    • Tan in the sun, in a tanning bed, or with tanning creams for 4 weeks before treatment

    • Wax, or get a chemical peel or collagen shots for 2 weeks before

    • Wear perfume, makeup, deodorant, or any skin irritants

    • Take aspirin or another drug that can make you bleed more

    • Take any medication that will make you sun-sensitive (for example, the antibiotic doxycycline )

  • Topical numbing cream will be applied to the treatment area(s) for 60 minutes before treatment starts.

    After that, our laser technician will clean the treatment area(s). You’ll wear protective googles to shield your eyes from the laser. The session will probably last 20-30 minutes.

    Treatment could sting a little. It might feel like someone is snapping a rubber band on you.

  • Your skin might be swollen or inflamed for a few hours. Use ice packs as needed. Typically, you can resume your usual activities and skin routine after a couple days.

    While you heal:

    • Don’t put on makeup if your skin hurts.

    • Use moisturizing lotion.

    • Protect yourself with sunscreen. Make sure it has an SPF of at least 30 and a physical blocker such as zinc. Reapply it every 2 hours, even if it’s not sunny outside.

    • Wash your face with a cleanser for sensitive skin.
