Laser resurfacing is a skin rejuvenation treatment that uses concentrated beams of light to remove damaged outer layers of skin while stimulating collagen production in the deeper layers. This dual action improves both skin texture and tone over time.

We use fractionated laser technology, which treats the skin in a grid-like pattern. This allows for faster healing while still achieving impressive skin-smoothing and resurfacing results.

The laser creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This removes the damaged outer layers and triggers your body’s natural healing process, which increases collagen and elastin production for firmer, more even skin.

Most clients tolerate the procedure well. A topical numbing cream is applied prior to treatment to keep you comfortable. You may feel a warm or prickling sensation during the procedure.

Most sessions take 30–60 minutes, depending on the size and condition of the treatment area.

Some clients see visible improvements after just one session, but a series of treatments may be recommended for deeper lines, scars, or pigmentation. Your provider will create a plan based on your skin’s needs.

Laser resurfacing typically involves 3–7 days of social downtime. During this time, you may experience redness, peeling, and sensitivity similar to a sunburn. Post-treatment care will be provided to support optimal healing.

Initial results can be seen once the skin heals, usually within a week. However, collagen remodeling continues for several months, so you’ll notice continued improvement in firmness, tone, and clarity over time.

Yes. Laser resurfacing may be combined with microneedling, injectables, or PRFM (Platelet-Rich Fibrin Matrix) for enhanced results. Your provider can recommend a custom plan.

Laser resurfacing is best suited for lighter to medium skin tones. Those with darker complexions may be at higher risk for pigment changes and should consult with our team for the safest options.
