- Dull, uneven skin tone or texture
Darker skin tones may not be ideal candidates. A consultation ensures the safest and most effective treatment plan for your skin.
How Laser Skin Resurfacing Works
Every treatment is carefully calibrated to your unique skin type, concerns, and comfort level. On the day of your procedure, your skin will be cleansed and prepped. Treatment times vary but are typically quick and efficient. Depending on your needs, treatment may include:
- Gentle surface renewal
- Fractional resurfacing to stimulate collagen
- Deeper resurfacing for advanced correction
The most refined results are achieved through a strategic, layered approach over time, allowing your skin to improve naturally without appearing overtreated. Advanced laser options do not affect the surrounding skin.
Curating Treatment To Your Goals
- Subtle Refinement with NanoLaserPeel: A gentle, elegant refresh that restores brightness and smoothness with minimal interruption to your day.
- MicroLaserPeel & Halo for Visible Rejuvenation: Improves tone, texture, and early signs of aging, revealing skin that appears clearer, more even, and quietly refreshed.
- Advanced Correction with ProFractional & Contour TRL: Addresses deeper lines, textural changes, and more advanced aging, delivering significant, long-lasting skin renewal.
Recovery & Downtime
Recovery after a laser skin resurfacing treatment varies depending on the procedure’s depth and intensity. Lighter treatments typically involve minimal downtime and redness for 1-2 days; moderate treatments may result in several days of peeling and slightly longer redness
Deep resurfacing requires a longer recovery, including 7-10 days of healing and up to several weeks of redness, but it promises dramatic results. With proper guidance, recovery is predictable, supported, and well worth the investment.
