A treatment that gently renews the skin by using laser energy to resurface and smooth its surface.
Why Consider Laser Resurfacing?
How Does Laser Resurfacing Work?
- Fractional Lasers: Treat only a fraction of the skin’s surface in a grid-like pattern, allowing quicker recovery.
- CO₂ Lasers: Work at a deeper level for more significant resurfacing and collagen stimulation.
What Happens During a Session?
- Before: Your skin will be cleansed, and a numbing cream may be applied to keep you comfortable.
- During: The laser device is passed over the treatment area, creating controlled micro-injuries. Sessions usually take 30–90 minutes, depending on the size of the area.
- After: Redness, swelling, and a sunburn-like sensation are common for a few days. Your skin will gradually peel as it heals, revealing smoother layers beneath.
What Kind of Results Can You Expect?
- Reduction in fine lines, acne scars, or pigmentation irregularities
- Fresher, more even skin texture over time
- Results that build gradually as collagen regenerates
- Longer-lasting improvement compared to surface-only treatments
Any Side Effects to Know About?
- Redness, swelling, or peeling that can last days to weeks, depending on the laser type
- Temporary darkening or lightening of the skin
- Rare risks like infection or scarring, which your doctor will explain in detail

Quick FAQs
Does it hurt?
You may feel warmth or a prickling sensation. A numbing cream is usually applied to make the procedure more comfortable.
How long is the downtime?
Recovery can take a few days for fractional lasers and up to 1–2 weeks for CO₂ lasers, depending on depth.
When will I see results?
Skin often looks fresher once peeling settles, with continued improvement over several months as collagen rebuilds.
How many sessions will I need?
Some women notice results after just one session, but multiple treatments may be recommended for deeper scars or lines.
Is it safe for all skin tones?
Not always. Darker skin types may have a higher risk of pigmentation changes. A consultation helps determine if this treatment is right for you.
