Laser Resurfacing FAQs
Laser resurfacing is a cosmetic procedure that uses concentrated beams of light to reduce facial wrinkles, scars, and blemishes. It works by removing the outer layer of skin (the epidermis) and heating the underlying skin (the dermis), which increases the growth of natural proteins called collagen fibres. This results in smoother, firmer, younger-looking skin.
Skin conditions like wrinkles, age spots, uneven skin tones, acne scars, and sun-damaged skin can all be effectively treated by laser resurfacing. It can also reduce scars and fine lines around the eyes, forehead, and mouth.
Laser resurfacing is typically safe when performed by a certified, experienced professional. But like with any cosmetic procedure, there are risks. Make sure to discuss your medical history and potential side effects with your dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon before your treatment.
Possible side effects of laser resurfacing include redness, swelling, itching, or burning sensations at the site of the treatment. Some people may also experience changes in skin color, infection, or scarring. But these side effects are extremely rare when the treatment is done by a skilled professional.
Expect your recovery from laser resurfacing to take between one to three weeks, depending on the intensity of the treatment. During this time your skin may be raw, swollen, and itchy. Follow any aftercare instructions from your dermatologist, such as avoiding sun exposure and applying any prescribed creams to support the healing process.
The number of laser resurfacing treatments you'll need depends on your skin's condition. One treatment may be enough for some, whereas others may need multiple sessions for the right results. Discuss your skin's condition and treatment plan with your dermatologist for a clear idea of how many treatments you'll need.

Laser resurfacing also stimulates the production of collagen, which helps keep your new skin looking plump and firm. Laser facials are highly effective, and your skin specialist can advise you on the best treatment for your skin.
