Laser skin resurfacing is a cosmetic procedure that uses concentrated beams of laser energy to remove the outer layer of damaged skin and stimulate new collagen fibers for firmer, more youthful-looking skin. This treatment effectively targets fine lines, acne scars, sun damage, and irregular skin texture to reveal a brighter, more even complexion. Each treatment is tailored to your skin type and concerns for maximum results with minimal side effects.
Laser resurfacing is a customized in-office procedure that typically lasts 30–60 minutes, depending on the treatment area and depth of the laser treatment.
What to expect during treatment:
Most patients experience mild warmth or tingling during a laser resurfacing treatment, similar to a sunburn, which subsides quickly.
Laser skin resurfacing treatments effectively correct a variety of skin concerns, including:
Laser skin resurfacing is safe for multiple treatment areas, including:

Recovery varies depending on the depth of your treatment. A gentler laser treatment comes with mild redness for a few days, while more aggressive treatments may involve a period of peeling as damaged skin cells turn over.
