What Is Laser Skin Resurfacing?

Laser skin resurfacing is a non-surgical treatment that uses laser energy to exfoliate or vaporize damaged outer layers of skin, triggering collagen renewal. It treats both superficial and deeper skin concerns and can be customized for different skin types and goals. This procedure can effectively address the following concerns:

Fine lines and wrinkles
Sun damage and pigmentation
Acne scars and surgical scars
Rough skin texture
Enlarged pores
Age spots and freckles
Uneven tone or dullness

The Benefits of Laser Resurfacing

Patients often notice clearer, smoother, and more radiant skin after just one session. Results continue to improve over time as collagen production increases. Benefits include the following:

Smoother texture and firmer skin
Reduction in fine lines and pigment irregularities
More even tone and renewed glow
Long-lasting improvements with minimal downtime
Options tailored for all skin tones and areas of the body

“Let me be your guide. I’m here to help.” -Dr. Noll

Recovery and Visible Results

Mild redness or swelling is common and typically resolves in a few days. Ablative lasers may involve a longer recovery with flaking or peeling skin. Most patients notice an improvement in skin clarity and tone within one to two weeks, with continued results over several months.

Recovery times will vary depending on the depth of your treatment. Non-ablative lasers typically involve minimal downtime, while fractional or ablative lasers may require five to ten days of healing. Long-term results are enhanced and preserved with consistent maintenance and diligent sun protection.
