The goal of laser skin resurfacing is simple: replace damaged skin with new, fresh skin. Techniques for skin resurfacing have made enormous advances, allowing nearly everyone to achieve close to flawless complexions.
Many systems allow for light, moderate or deep laser resurfacing. The primary targets of laser skin resurfacing include:
Fine lines and wrinkles of the face, especially around the upper lip, cheeks and forehead
Loose eyelid skin
Crow's feet around the eyes
Pucker marks (smoker's lines) and frown lines
Brown spots and splotchy, uneven skin tone
Scars, especially acne scars
Loose skin around the neck and jowls
How it Works
Fractional laser procedure is performed in a single treatment with 3-5 days of patient downtime. During the procedure, a high-energy beam of laser light is used to smooth out lines, wrinkles and scars, remove brown spots and other irregularities. It also stimulates formation of new underlying collagen to continue improvement over time. With fractional laser treatment, only a fraction of the skin’s surface is treated by the laser, leaving small “bridges” of untouched skin. This technique makes the healing process much faster and enables you to get back to normal activities sooner.

What you can expect from fractional laser resurfacing?
The procedure is performed in the office with a topical anesthetic cream that is applied 30-40 minutes before the procedure begins as well as some mild oral pain medication. There is little to no pain associated with the procedure – most patients say they feel warmth similar to sunburn. After about 3-5 days, your will wear make-up and go back to work.
Fractional resurfacing treatment produces a dramatic effect on the skin:
Reduces wrinkles and fine lines, and softens deeper frown lines
Noticeably improves skin tone and texture
Stimulates new collagen formation and plumps the skin
The results are long-term and, with proper sun protection, can persist for many years. Most effects of treatment become visible right away, whereas others – such as new collagen formation – build up gradually and become more evident over time. Therefore, most people look even better 3-5 months after the procedure.
