What is Laser Skin Resurfacing?
Laser skin resurfacing at Laser & Skin Surgery Center of Pennsylvania is a non-invasive aesthetic procedure that uses energy beams to safely heat and rejuvenate skin cell layers. The treatment addresses fine lines and wrinkles and can improve skin flaws, such as scars, pigmentation, and other issues. Sometimes called a laser peel, laser skin resurfacing is an effective facial treatment for people who want smoother, clearer, youthful-looking skin. Based on the skin's condition, the laser can be customized accordingly. There is minimal downtime required with most laser skin resurfacing treatments. Any concerns or questions can be discussed during the initial consultation at our practice in Devon, PA.
How Does Laser Skin Resurfacing Work?
Laser skin resurfacing can help rejuvenate your skin. Topical anesthetic cream may be applied before the treatment to help lessen any discomfort so you can relax during your appointment. The laser will glide over your skin, precisely targeting the required areas for rejuvenation. You may feel warmth from the laser, followed by cold air from the system's built-in cooling device. The laser is designed to safely heat the skin to cause new cellular turnover while also stimulating new collagen growth.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does laser skin resurfacing cost?
Laser resurfacing costs vary depending on the type of treatment you choose. During your initial consultation, we will listen to your concerns and desires before explaining the different types of laser resurfacing available treatments. Then, we can help you choose your resurfacing treatment and discuss costs. Laser & Skin Surgery Center of Pennsylvania often runs treatment specials and discounted packages, so ask for more information during your consultation.
What's the best type of resurfacing for me?
During your consultation, we will help you choose which laser resurfacing option best meets your concerns and goals. What treatment is best for you depends on your skin condition, your skin problems, and how deep you want your treatment to go. How long you are willing to give your recovery might also be a deciding consideration when you create a treatment plan. When unsure, it's better to try a milder treatment, then assess your results and adjust as needed for your next appointment.
How can I help my skin recover after a resurfacing treatment?
Before you leave our office, we will discuss how you can help your skin heal after treatment. The most important rule is not to pick or peel your skin. Doing this could cause lasting damage, including scars. You should forgo all hair removal methods on the treated skin, including shaving, waxing, or depilatory creams. If needed, we can recommend an ointment to help soothe treated areas.
How often should I get laser resurfacing treatments?
Depending on the laser resurfacing options chosen for your treatment, you may need to wait several weeks or even a few months between treatments. Deeper treatments will give you results that last a long time but will require a lengthy recovery period. During your consultation, you can mention how often you are willing to come back for appointments so we can take this into account when suggesting a type of resurfacing in your consultation.
