Laser Resurfacing FAQs

What is laser resurfacing?

Laser resurfacing is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses advanced laser technology to target and treat various skin concerns, such as wrinkles, age spots, and uneven skin texture. It stimulates collagen production and promotes skin healing to reveal a more youthful and radiant complexion. During the procedure, a precise laser beam is directed at the skin, promoting the growth of new, healthy skin cells. There are two main types of laser resurfacing: ablative and non-ablative. Ablative laser resurfacing, such as CO2 and erbium lasers, removes the outer layers of skin, while non-ablative lasers, like vascular and fractional lasers, heat the underlying skin tissue without removing the surface layer.

Is laser resurfacing worth it?

Laser resurfacing is an effective treatment option for those looking to address a variety of skin concerns and achieve a more youthful, refreshed appearance. With minimal downtime and long-lasting results, many patients find the investment in laser resurfacing to be well worth it for the improvement in their skin's appearance and self-confidence. Patients often report a significant boost in self-esteem and a greater sense of satisfaction with their overall appearance following laser resurfacing treatments.
