During a laser skin resurfacing treatment, a specialized laser is used to remove the outer layer of the skin. This exposes the healthier underlying layers of skin cells and stimulates collagen production. The result is smoother, more even-toned, firmer-looking skin with fewer lines and wrinkles.

Laser skin resurfacing can reduce the appearance of wrinkles, age spots, scars, dark circles under the eyes, hyperpigmentation, large pores, and uneven skin texture or tone. It can also help to tighten sagging skin for a more youthful look.

Depending on the type of treatment you choose there may be some downtime associated with laser resurfacing treatments. Your doctor will advise you on what precautions to take following your treatment in order to optimize your results while protecting your newly rejuvenated complexion from irritation or damage.

Different types of lasers can be used depending on your specific condition and desired outcome. Commonly used lasers for resurfacing include CO2 (carbon dioxide), Erbium YAG (a gentler version of CO2), and Fraxel (a fractional laser). Your doctor will recommend which option best suits your needs based on your individual case assessment during a consultation prior to treatment commencement.

Yes! When performed by an experienced practitioner using FDA-approved devices lasers have very low risks such as burns or scarring when used in skilled hands; however, it’s always important to ask about any possible side effects or risks prior to agreeing to any cosmetic procedure so you know exactly what you’re getting into before taking that leap!

Generally speaking, most people see improvements after just one session but how long those results last depends on which treatment you had as well as how well you tend to your newly rejuvenated complexion afterward; such things as avoiding prolonged sun exposure or keeping up with regular sunscreen use will maximize the longevity of your results!
