What is laser skin resurfacing?

Laser skin resurfacing is a nonsurgical procedure that uses beams of light to remove dead skin cells. When used on the face, it addresses common issues such as wrinkles, scars, and blemishes. This innovative technology is extremely precise and is suitable for even the most delicate areas. A few minor flaws that laser resurfacing can treat include:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Acne scars
  • Sunspots
  • Birthmarks
  • Uneven skin tone
  • Enlarged pores

Laser skin resurfacing is very effective for diminishing mild, shallow wrinkles. You can also ask about getting Genius® RF microneedling to treat acne scars or reduce mild wrinkling. Men and women with deeper wrinkles and lax skin, however, will enjoy more dramatic rejuvenation with facelift surgery.

Am I a good candidate for laser skin resurfacing?

Laser treatments can help patients improve their skin in many different ways. If you struggle with wrinkles, discoloration, or uneven skin tone, laser skin resurfacing can help. Ideal candidates are those who have:

  • A lighter skin tone
  • Problem spots near the skin’s surface
  • Minimal skin sagging

If you are prone to cold sores or fever blisters, treatment may increase the chance of a breakout. Those on acne medications such as Accutane should also refrain from treatment. Hydrafacial® is a gentle, rejuvenating skincare treatment appropriate for most people that can improve the skin’s appearance, texture, and health.

For patients who want to address acne scars, stretch marks, or fine lines and wrinkles on the face and neck, SkinPen® Microneedling treatments are an alternative to laser skin resurfacing.   Men and women who want to address aging symptoms, reverse damage, and achieve more vibrant, radiant skin, may also benefit from MOXI™ laser and BBL® HEROic ™ laser treatments at our medical spa.

Your Laser Skin Resurfacing Options

Our state-of-the-art Sciton® Joule® X platform offers some of the most versatile and cutting-edge laser treatments available. We customize your treatment to your specific skin concerns, whether you want a subtle refresh or a dramatic transformation.

Contour TRL™

Contour TRL comprises 3 levels of intensity so you can choose your desired level of rejuvenation. This adaptability makes this laser system ideal for a variety of concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, scars, and uneven texture.

NanoLaserPeel®

For a quick and gentle refresh, the NanoLaserPeel is the lightest treatment option on the Contour TRL platform. Sometimes called the “lunchtime peel,” it removes the outermost layer of skin to brighten your complexion and smooth your mild texture concerns. This gentle laser has little to no downtime, so you can go back to your routine with minimal interruption.

MicroLaserPeel®

The MicroLaserPeel provides a deeper level of exfoliation than the NanoLaserPeel, targeting fine lines, sun damage, and uneven pigmentation. This treatment removes slightly more of the outer skin layers to deliver noticeable improvement while still offering a short recovery period. We recommend the MicroLaserPeel for patients looking to refresh their skin without significant downtime.

Deep Resurfacing

When you want more dramatic results, we can adjust Contour TRL for deep skin resurfacing. This fully ablative treatment precisely removes the damaged outer layers of skin to address deep wrinkles, scars, and advanced signs of aging. While the recovery time is longer, the results are transformative, making it a great option for those seeking comprehensive skin rejuvenation.

HALO® Hybrid Fractional Laser

The HALO laser combines two wavelengths—ablative and non-ablative—to target both the surface and deeper layers of the skin simultaneously. This innovative treatment improves skin tone, texture, and discoloration while stimulating collagen production for long-term results. HALO is a fan favorite at our practice because it offers powerful rejuvenation with reduced downtime.

ProFractional® Therapy 

ProFractional Therapy uses a fractional laser to create microchannels in the skin. These controlled injuries stimulate collagen production while leaving the surrounding tissue intact for faster healing. This treatment is ideal for improving the appearance of scars, fine lines, and skin texture concerns with less downtime than fully ablative procedures.

BBL HEROic

In addition to our laser resurfacing treatments, we offer BBL HEROic, which is part of the advanced BroadBand Light (BBL) system on the Sciton Joule X platform. This innovative light-based treatment addresses various skin concerns, including pigmentation issues, vascular lesions, acne, and signs of aging.

What happens during a laser skin resurfacing treatment?

Laser skin resurfacing uses the power of light to remove dull, dead skin. During treatment, the laser sends a short, concentrated pulse of light onto the targeted area. The laser energy stimulates new collagen growth while also removing damaged skin layers.

The procedure takes 20 minutes to 1 hour to complete, depending on the number of areas treated. Patients are left with smoother, firmer, clearer, younger-looking skin.

Is laser skin resurfacing painful?

No, laser skin resurfacing isn’t a painful treatment. However, there may be a mild amount of temporary discomfort. Some patients compare the sensation of the laser to that of a rubber band snapped against the skin. Your provider will be carefully watching throughout the entire process to make sure you are as comfortable as possible.

We also offer Glacial® Rx as a companion treatment to laser skin resurfacing. Its precision cooling technology refreshes and numbs the skin, making your laser treatment more comfortable and effective.

After laser skin resurfacing, how much downtime will I need?

As a nonsurgical procedure, laser skin resurfacing doesn’t require a significant amount of downtime. The skin may be red and sensitive afterward, but you can still go to work and follow your regular schedule. Avoid activities such as swimming or exercise until your skin has completely healed. This caution prevents infection and ensures that your results heal as attractively as possible.

How long do laser skin resurfacing results last?

The results typically last up to 1 year. To maintain the health and beauty of your skin as long as possible, be sure to wear SPF 30+ sunscreen whenever you are outdoors and avoid direct sun exposure. You can come in for maintenance treatments as needed.
