Overview
Laser Skin Resurfacing is an advanced dermatological treatment that uses concentrated beams of light to improve skin texture, tone, and appearance by removing damaged outer layers and stimulating collagen production.
Types of Laser Resurfacing
Ablative Lasers
- CO2 Laser — Gold standard for deep wrinkles and scars
- Erbium YAG — Precision treatment with faster healing
Non-Ablative Lasers
- Fractional Laser — Treats micro-columns of skin, leaving surrounding tissue intact
- Nd:YAG — Safe for darker skin tones
Treatable Conditions
| Condition | Laser Type | Sessions | Results |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fine lines & wrinkles | CO2/Fractional | 1-3 | Excellent |
| Acne scars | Fractional CO2 | 3-6 | Very Good |
| Sun damage/age spots | Erbium/IPL | 2-4 | Excellent |
| Melasma | Fractional | 4-8 | Good |
| Skin laxity | CO2/RF combo | 1-2 | Good |
Treatment Process
- Consultation — Skin assessment and treatment planning
- Preparation — Topical anesthesia applied 30-60 minutes prior
- Treatment — Laser passes over target areas (15-45 minutes)
- Recovery — Cooling and protective dressing applied
Laser resurfacing triggers the body's natural wound healing response, producing new collagen and elastin fibers that result in smoother, firmer, younger-looking skin.
