Laser Skin Resurfacing is a cutting-edge aesthetic treatment designed to rejuvenate the skin by solving many concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven skin tone. This non-invasive treatment uses concentrated laser energy to remove damaged outer layers of skin, stimulating new collagen production and natural healing. The result is smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.
Laser Skin Resurfacing is ideal for individuals who want to refresh their appearance and reduce the visible signs of aging or skin damage. Results from Laser Skin Resurfacing typically begin to appear within a few days to weeks as new skin forms and collagen rebuilds. The results can last several months to years, depending on the individual’s skin type, lifestyle, and post-treatment care. If you’re ready to achieve radiant, youthful skin, schedule your consultation at The Vitality & Aesthetics Institute in Houston today to learn how this innovative treatment can benefit you.
Laser skin resurfacing is ideal for individuals with visible signs of aging, uneven skin tone, acne scars, or sun damage. The candidate should have realistic expectations and be in good overall health. A consultation with a qualified Vitality & Aesthetics Institute provider will help assess if this treatment suits you.
Results generally appear within a few days to weeks as the treated skin heals, revealing a smoother and more radiant complexion. Initially, you may notice some redness or flaking as part of the healing process, which is regular and temporary. Over time, as new skin cells emerge and collagen production increases, your skin will look progressively rejuvenated. The full benefits of the treatment are generally visible within 3 to 6 months as the underlying layers of skin continue to repair and collagen rebuilds, enhancing firmness and texture.
Results vary from person to person and depend on skin type, age, lifestyle, and the specific laser technology used. For many people, the effects can last for months or even years. Maintaining a regular skincare routine, including high-quality moisturizers and sunscreen, is essential for maintaining the effects.
Some redness, swelling, and peeling are common after Laser Skin Resurfacing, but these side effects usually subside within a week or two. Downtime varies depending on the depth and intensity of the treatment, with most individuals resuming normal activities within a few days.
Preparing your skin before laser skin resurfacing is essential to obtain the optimal results and minimize potential complications. Avoid direct sun exposure two weeks before the procedure, as it can elevate the risk of skin sensitivity and side effects. To control skin irritation, stop using retinoids or exfoliants.
After the treatment, proper aftercare is crucial for optimal healing and achieving the desired results. Keep the treated area moisturized with products recommended by your provider to accelerate healing and ease dryness or irritation. Don’t expose your skin directly to the sun and wear broad-spectrum, high-SPF sunscreen, as it will be more sensitive to sunlight. Refrain from picking at or scrubbing the treated area to avoid scarring or infection.
During the treatment, a specialized laser device is used to precisely target and exfoliate damaged skin layers. The treatment is performed under local anesthesia or with a numbing cream to ensure comfort. Most treatments last 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the treatment area and goals.
