About Skin Resurfacing
How Skin Resurfacing Works
Skin resurfacing treatments use laser energy or other technologies to remove damaged outer layers of skin and stimulate the body's natural healing response. Ablative treatments (such as CO2 or Erbium lasers) vaporize the outer skin layers, prompting the growth of new, healthier skin. Non-ablative treatments heat the deeper layers without removing surface skin, stimulating collagen production with less downtime. Fractional technology treats a fraction of the skin at a time, leaving untreated areas to speed healing.
Who It's For
Skin resurfacing is appropriate for adults who want to address acne scars, surgical scars, fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, uneven skin texture, or enlarged pores. The best candidates have realistic expectations and are willing to follow post-treatment care instructions. Skin type, tone, and the specific concern being addressed all factor into which resurfacing method is most appropriate. A provider consultation is essential to determine the best approach.
What to Expect
Treatment time varies from 30 minutes to over an hour depending on the type of resurfacing and the area treated. Topical numbing cream or local anesthesia is typically used. Ablative treatments involve more significant recovery, with redness and peeling lasting 1 to 2 weeks. Non-ablative and fractional treatments have shorter recovery periods, often 3 to 7 days of redness and mild swelling. Sun avoidance and diligent skincare are required during the healing period.
