Skin Resurfacing

What is Skin Resurfacing?

Skin resurfacing encompasses a variety of treatments that accelerate cell turnover, enhance collagen regeneration, and improve skin clarity. Depending on your specific skin concerns, we offer both ablative and non-ablative resurfacing techniques for optimal results.

Our Advanced Skin Resurfacing Technologies

PicoSure® Pro Focus Laser (Non-Ablative Laser Resurfacing):

This cutting-edge picosecond laser uses ultra-fast pulses of energy to gently break down pigmentation, refine skin texture, and stimulate collagen production with minimal downtime. It is particularly effective for treating pigmentation issues such as sunspots, acne scars, and uneven skin tone. The PicoSure® Pro Focus Laser is a great option for those looking for a gentle yet powerful treatment that delivers gradual improvements in skin quality without significant recovery time.

Chemical Peels (Surface Renewal & Brightening):

Chemical peels use carefully selected exfoliating acids to remove damaged skin layers, improve skin tone, and reduce discoloration. Depending on the depth of the peel, this treatment can address sun damage, fine lines, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation. Lighter peels offer a refreshed, radiant glow with little downtime, while deeper peels provide more dramatic improvements in skin texture and clarity with a short recovery period.

eCO2 Laser (Ablative Fractional CO2 Resurfacing):

The eCO2 laser is a powerful fractional CO2 laser that deeply resurfaces the skin by removing outer layers and triggering collagen regeneration. This treatment is particularly effective for deep wrinkles, severe acne scars, sun damage, and skin laxity. While it offers dramatic results, it does require a short recovery period as the skin heals and renews itself. Over time, patients notice significantly smoother, firmer, and more youthful skin.

Alma Hybrid Laser (Fractional CO2 + Non-Ablative Rejuvenation):

The Alma Hybrid Laser combines the benefits of ablative CO2 resurfacing with non-ablative skin rejuvenation, allowing for customizable treatments that balance downtime with results. This technology effectively treats moderate-to-severe texture issues, scars, and aging skin by improving collagen production and promoting skin renewal. Patients can achieve smoother, firmer skin with faster healing compared to traditional CO2 lasers.

Ultra Laser (LaseMD Ultra™) (Non-Ablative Skin Brightening & Texture Refinement):

LaseMD Ultra™ is a gentle yet highly effective non-ablative laser that helps improve skin tone, texture, and overall brightness. This treatment is ideal for reducing mild textural issues, melasma, and fine lines without significant downtime. It works by encouraging cell turnover and collagen production, leading to a smoother and more youthful complexion. Safe for all skin types, Ultra Laser is an excellent option for patients looking for noticeable results with minimal recovery.

Ultraclear Laser (Advanced Resurfacing & Scar Revision):

Ultraclear Laser is an advanced resurfacing treatment designed to address deep scars, rough skin texture, and early signs of aging. This laser stimulates dermal remodeling by promoting collagen renewal, helping to improve the overall structure and quality of the skin. It is an effective option for patients with acne scars, fine lines, and enlarged pores who want significant improvements in skin texture without extended downtime.

Spectra MDF Laser (Dual-Mode Laser for Pigmentation & Rejuvenation):

Spectra MDF Laser is a versatile laser system that effectively treats surface imperfections, discoloration, and collagen loss. Using dual-wavelength technology, it helps even out skin tone, fade hyperpigmentation, and improve skin texture. This laser is particularly beneficial for those with redness, melasma, or enlarged pores, providing a smoother and more uniform complexion

How Skin Resurfacing Works

Skin resurfacing treatments work by boosting collagen production, accelerating cell turnover, and improving skin structure, leading to gradual yet noticeable enhancements in skin tone and texture.

Step 1: Personalized Skin Assessment

We evaluate your skin concerns and customize a resurfacing plan based on your skin type, sensitivity, and desired results.

Step 2: Treatment Application

• Laser Treatments: PicoSure® Pro, eCO2, Alma Hybrid, Ultra, Ultraclear, and Spectra MDF lasers deliver precise energy to stimulate collagen remodeling, remove pigmentation, and smooth skin texture.
  
• Chemical Peels: Exfoliating acids remove damaged skin cells, revealing fresher, more radiant skin.

Step 3: Post-Treatment Recovery & Results

• Non-Ablative Treatments (PicoSure®, Ultra, Spectra MDF): Little to no downtime, mild redness for a few hours.
• Fractional Resurfacing (eCO2, Alma Hybrid, Ultraclear): Moderate redness and peeling for 3-7 days, depending on treatment depth.
  
• Chemical Peels: Peeling and mild flaking over 3-5 days, depending on the strength of the peel.

FAQs

How many treatments are needed for the best results?

Most patients see noticeable improvements after one session, but a series of treatments spaced a few weeks apart provides the best long-term results.

Is skin resurfacing painful?

Most resurfacing treatments are well tolerated. For procedures like RF microneedling or chemical peels, a numbing cream is applied beforehand for comfort. Our gentle lasers, including LaseMD Ultra and Picosure Pro Focus, provide a gentle and safe way to resurface the skin without downtime in all skin types.

Are the results of skin resurfacing permanent?

While resurfacing treatments provide long-lasting skin improvements, maintenance treatments and proper skincare can extend and enhance results over time.

Can all skin types benefit from resurfacing treatments?

Yes, most skin types can be safely treated with customized resurfacing techniques. A consultation will determine the best treatment for your skin tone and concerns.
