Laser Skin Resurfacing
What is a Laser Skin Resurfacing Deep Treatment?
The Er:YAG laser, utilized in our deep laser skin resurfacing treatments, is an ablative laser designed to resurface and remodel the skin. It effectively treats a variety of skin issues, including scars, prominent pores, sun damage, fine lines, and deep wrinkles. This laser delivers fractionated pulses of energy at various depths to contract and tighten the skin, improving texture and tone. The treatment duration ranges from 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the intensity and depth required, with downtime varying between 2 to 7 days.

How It Works
For more intense or deeper skin resurfacing treatments, you may be prescribed a topical retinoid for 2-3 weeks before your procedure to enhance results. Medication will be provided to reduce discomfort and promote relaxation during the session. Depending on the severity of the treatment, a topical anesthetic or sedation may be used. During the procedure, the laser handpiece targets the designated areas, delivering heat followed by cooling from the built-in system. This process destroys damaged and dead skin cells while stimulating collagen production​
Am I a Candidate for Laser Skin Resurfacing?
Ideal candidates for laser skin resurfacing are those dissatisfied with their complexion due to sun damage, age spots, acne scars, lines, wrinkles, pigmentation, or redness. It is also effective for rough skin texture, scaly patches, or other surface irregularities. Candidates should be aware of the necessary recovery period, which may vary from a few days to a week based on the treatment's intensity.
What to Expect After Laser Skin Resurfacing
Post-procedure, you may experience temporary redness, swelling, and minor flaking. Our professionals will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal results, which include keeping the skin hydrated and avoiding harsh chemicals. Smoother and healthier-looking skin should become visible once peeling is complete. Follow-up treatments may be recommended to maintain and enhance results.
