Understanding Skin Resurfacing

Skin resurfacing is a category of non-surgical treatments designed to remove damaged surface layers of skin and stimulate collagen remodeling underneath. This process enhances skin texture and tone while targeting discoloration, wrinkles, and scars.

The most common methods used in our practice include laser resurfacing, microneedling, and chemical peels. These options can be adjusted in intensity and depth depending on your skin type, concerns, and goals.

How Skin Resurfacing Works

Skin resurfacing uses energy or exfoliants to initiate controlled micro-injury to the skin, prompting the body’s natural healing response. This leads to faster cellular turnover and stronger, healthier skin formation. Common options include:

Fractional Laser Resurfacing: Delivers thermal energy in a grid-like pattern to stimulate collagen and resurface damaged skin.
Microneedling with RF: Creates microchannels with radiofrequency heat to boost collagen and improve firmness and clarity.
Ultrasound-Based Treatments: Uses focused ultrasound energy to tighten skin and encourage collagen without damaging the surface.

Healing and Final Results

Most patients experience mild redness and flaking in the days following treatment. Deeper resurfacing may involve several days of peeling or tightness. Visible improvements typically emerge within one to three weeks and continue to develop over several months as collagen regenerates. Many patients opt for a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart.
