Laser skin resurfacing is a highly effective way to achieve smoother, more youthful skin. Winter Park Plastic Surgery and Laser Center offers a full range of laser treatments, from gentle, surface-level options to more intensive procedures that target deeper skin concerns. Whether you want a quick refresh or significant skin rejuvenation, advanced laser technology can help improve fine lines, sun damage, and uneven texture.
What is Laser Skin Resurfacing?
Laser skin resurfacing uses focused light energy to remove damaged skin layers and stimulate collagen production. Treatments range from milder, non-ablative lasers that enhance skin tone with little downtime to deeper, more intensive ablative lasers that address significant signs of aging and texture issues. Less intensive treatments are ideal for subtle skin rejuvenation, while deeper treatments provide more dramatic improvements in wrinkles, scars, and pigmentation.
Is Laser Skin Resurfacing Painful?
The level of discomfort depends on the intensity of the treatment. Milder resurfacing treatments cause minimal discomfort, often described as a warm or tingling sensation. Deeper treatments that penetrate more layers of skin may require numbing cream or local anesthesia for comfort. Your provider will recommend the best option based on your goals and tolerance for downtime.
What is Recovery Like After Laser Skin Resurfacing?
Recovery time varies depending on how deep the treatment goes. Less intensive lasers may cause mild redness and sensitivity for a few days, making them ideal for those with busy schedules. Deeper resurfacing treatments, which remove more layers of skin, require a longer healing period with peeling and redness lasting up to two weeks. Regardless of the intensity, proper aftercare, including hydration and sun protection, is essential for optimal skin rejuvenation.
How Soon Will I See Results From Laser Skin Resurfacing?
Results depend on the type and depth of the treatment. Milder laser treatments produce gradual improvements, with noticeable changes after multiple sessions. Deeper resurfacing treatments reveal new skin as healing progresses, with visible improvements within a few weeks. As collagen production increases, skin rejuvenation continues for months, leaving the skin firmer, smoother, and more radiant.
How Long Will My Skin Rejuvenation Results Last?
The longevity of your results depends on the intensity of your treatment and your skincare routine. Less intensive laser treatments require periodic maintenance sessions to sustain skin rejuvenation. Deeper treatments provide longer-lasting improvements, often for several years, but maintaining results requires sun protection, proper skincare, and occasional touch-ups.
Laser skin resurfacing offers customizable options to match your skin’s needs, from gentle refreshers to deep corrective treatments. Winter Park Plastic Surgery and Laser Center provides expert care to help you achieve long-lasting, youthful skin.
