Laser Resurfacing
Laser skin resurfacing: A Path to Younger-Looking Skin
Laser resurfacing is a popular cosmetic procedure that uses a laser to remove the top layers of skin. This process stimulates collagen production, leading to smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.
Benefits of Laser Resurfacing include:
- Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
- Improves skin texture and tone (dyschromia)
- Reduces the size of large pores
- Helps to control acne
- Minimizes scars
- Treats sun damage
- Enhances overall skin appearance
Reveal Smoother, Brighter, and Younger-Looking Skin
If you’re seeking a powerful, non-surgical way to improve your skin’s texture, tone, and overall appearance, laser skin resurfacing may be the ideal solution. At Ideal Face & Body, we use advanced laser technology to safely remove damaged outer layers of skin and stimulate natural collagen production, revealing fresher, firmer, and more youthful skin underneath.
This customizable treatment targets a variety of common skin concerns—all with precision and minimal downtime.
What Laser Skin Resurfacing Can Improve
Laser resurfacing is an excellent option for individuals looking to correct or reduce:
Fine lines and wrinkles
Sun damage and discoloration (dyschromia)
Acne scars and minor surgical scars
Enlarged pores
Uneven skin tone or rough texture
Dull or aging skin
Mild to moderate acne outbreaks
By carefully removing the damaged outer skin layers and heating deeper tissues, laser resurfacing activates your skin’s natural renewal process, promoting smoother skin and improved elasticity over time.
How Does Laser Skin Resurfacing Work?
Dr. Yovino uses precision-guided laser energy to exfoliate the top layers of skin while simultaneously heating the underlying dermis. This process triggers the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential for skin firmness and regeneration.
Depending on your skin condition and desired results, we may recommend fractional, ablative, or non-ablative laser options—each selected to match your skin type and downtime tolerance.
What to Expect During and After Treatment
The procedure is performed in-office under topical or local anesthesia, depending on the intensity of the treatment. Patients often describe the sensation as a mild stinging or warming of the skin.
After treatment, you can expect:
Redness, swelling, and peeling for several days
Skin that feels tighter and more sensitive during recovery
Visible improvement within 1–2 weeks, with continued collagen renewal over the following months
Most patients return to daily activities within a few days, depending on the depth of treatment. Proper sun protection and post-procedure skincare are essential to ensure optimal healing and results.
Is Laser Resurfacing Right for You?
Laser skin resurfacing is ideal for individuals with mild to moderate signs of aging, sun damage, or scarring, and for those who want noticeable skin improvement without surgery. Your skin tone, type, medical history, and treatment goals will all be considered during your consultation.
If you’ve had previous cosmetic procedures or have specific skin sensitivities, Dr. Yovino will work closely with you to develop a treatment plan that’s both safe and tailored to your skin’s needs.
