Laser skin resurfacing helps to rid the skin of etched-in lines and wrinkles, acne scarring, uneven pigmentation, poor skin tone and texture, and a host of other cosmetic imperfections. By removing dead skin and stimulating the renewal of new, healthy cells, the treatment can optimize your complexion, beautifully enhancing your self-image.

What to Expect During the Procedure
During treatment, potent laser energy is used to not only remove the outermost damaged layer of skin, but also to also jump-start the body’s natural production of collagen — the protein responsible for suppleness and hydration in youthful complexions. Laser skin resurfacing thus accomplishes both short and long-term improvements in your appearance.
Results
Results with laser skin resurfacing gradually become evident, progressing over the course of a few weeks. After two weeks, spots will have faded. At six weeks, there will be a visible improvement in your skin’s overall youthfulness. After three months, your body has had enough time to regenerate collagen, which smooths the skin and gives it a refreshed glow. You can repeat your laser skin resurfacing treatment down the line to maintain your gorgeous new complexion.
Candidacy
Both younger and older patients alike can benefit from the remarkable rejuvenation provided by laser skin resurfacing. The procedure is ideal for reducing many of the most troubling imperfections that affect the complexion, including acne scars, wrinkles, fine lines, and dull skin tone. Good candidates are of sound mind and body and have a realistic and positive outlook towards what laser skin resurfacing can do for them.

FAQ
Is laser skin resurfacing painful?
A topical anesthetic is applied to the skin prior to resurfacing, which numbs the targeted area. You can also be given mild oral sedatives prior to the treatment if you prefer. This will help you relax and enjoy a stress-free experience.
Can laser skin resurfacing be combined with other treatments?
It is common to pair laser skin resurfacing with other surgical and non-surgical cosmetic procedures. Some patients may undergo blepharoplasty, a brow lift, or a facelift prior to their laser skin resurfacing session. After laser treatment, it may be possible to undergo BOTOX® or dermal filler enhancement for even better results.
How is laser skin resurfacing different from other skincare treatments?
Laser resurfacing offers among the highest precision when it comes to diminishing many age-related complexion concerns. However, it may be a matter of personal preference as to which approach would work best in your unique case. We offer a wide variety of skincare solutions, and can effectively help guide you to the best choice during your private consultation in South Florida.
