What Is Laser Skin Resurfacing?
A laser peel, also known as laser skin resurfacing, is a precise procedure that gently removes superficial layers of the skin using a laser beam. This advanced treatment targets and vaporizes micron-thin layers of the epidermis while thermally affecting deeper skin layers to stimulate collagen production. The result is improved skin texture, reduced fine lines, and a more youthful appearance.
How Is It Done?
Preparation: The treatment area is cleansed and a topical anesthetic isapplied to minimize discomfort.
Procedure: As the laser passes over your skin, an ultrathin layer is removed along with any superficial imperfections. The lower layers of skin absorb heat from the laser that triggers collagen remodeling and tightening. There is very little discomfort thanks to the topical anesthetic. The procedure takes about 30 minutes, depending upon the area being treated.
Post Treatments: You can expect redness, swelling and peeling of the skin over the following 3-5 days. We will recommend products to keep you comfortable. As your skin heals, new skin cells will replace the old and you will notice significant improvement in texture and brightness. Collagen stimulation will continue for several months following the treatment, so your skin will continue to improve and glow.

Number Of Treatments
Typically, 1 to 3 laser skin resurfacing treatments are recommended for optimal results, depending on the extent of skin concerns. Treatments are usually spaced several weeks apart to allow the skin to heal and regenerate between sessions.
Pain Associated
Laser skin resurfacing can cause mild discomfort, often described as a sensation of heat or a snapping feeling on the skin. A topical anesthetic is used to minimize pain during the procedure, making it generally well-tolerated.
Down Time & Side Effects
You can expect 3-5 days of redness and swelling, similar to a mild sunburn.
You may also experience temporary dryness, peeling, and minor discomfort
as the skin heals. We will recommend aftercare products to ensure your comfort.
