Laser skin resurfacing is a cutting-edge cosmetic procedure to rejuvenate skin and treat various concerns such as wrinkles, scars, uneven texture, and sun damage. Washington Women Plastic Surgery uses cutting-edge lasers to stimulate collagen production and promote smoother, younger-looking skin in individuals seeking non-invasive solutions to improve skin tone.
Revitalize Your Skin Without Surgery
Laser skin resurfacing is a sophisticated procedure to revitalize the skin’s appearance and texture. It uses concentrated beams of light energy to target and remove damaged or aged skin layers. This process triggers the body’s natural healing response, stimulating the production of fresh, healthy skin cells and collagen, resulting in a more youthful complexion.
The procedure can be customized to address various skin concerns, including wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, sun damage, and uneven pigmentation. Different types of lasers, such as ablative and non-ablative, offer distinct benefits, catering to individual needs and desired outcomes. Our aesthetic providers customize the treatment according to your unique skin type, goals, and preferences, helping you improve your skin’s tone, texture, and overall appearance without invasive surgery or extended downtime.

What Happens During the Laser Skin Resurfacing Treatment?
During the laser skin resurfacing consultation, your cosmetic surgeon will thoroughly assess your skin and discuss your concerns and goals. They will evaluate factors such as skin type, tone, texture, and any underlying conditions to determine if laser resurfacing is suitable for you. You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions, express your expectations, and discuss the potential risks and benefits of the procedure. The practitioner may also take photographs of your skin to track progress throughout the treatment process.
Typically, the procedure begins with the application of a numbing cream to minimize discomfort. Protective eyewear will be provided to shield your eyes from the laser. The practitioner will use a handheld device to deliver precise pulses of laser energy to the targeted areas of your skin. Depending on the type of laser used, multiple passes may be made over the skin. After the procedure, a soothing ointment may be applied to aid in healing. You’ll receive specific post-treatment instructions to ensure optimal results.
What Is Recovery from Laser Skin Resurfacing Like?
Recovery from laser skin resurfacing varies depending on the intensity of the treatment and individual healing factors. Immediately following the procedure, you may experience redness, swelling, and a sensation similar to a sunburn in the treated area. These side effects subside within a few days to a week. Your practitioner may prescribe topical ointments or recommend gentle skincare products to aid in the healing process and minimize discomfort. It’s essential to protect your skin from sun exposure to optimize results.
While you may notice some improvements in skin texture and tone soon after the procedure, the full results become apparent within a few weeks to several months as the skin continues to regenerate and collagen production increases. With proper skincare maintenance and sun protection, the results of laser skin resurfacing can last for several years. However, factors such as aging, sun exposure, and lifestyle habits may affect the results over time.
