Laser Skin Resurfacing
Laser resurfacing helps to remove wrinkles, scars, unsightly blemishes and age spots. It can also be used to tighten skin and restore skin tone balance. Known by other names like lasabrasion and laser peel, this technique has been proven successful in restoring youthful beauty to skin.
Types of Laser Skin Resurfacing
Non-ablative Laser Resurfacing
Heats the dermis causing new collagen to form. This method is ideal for patients with fine wrinkles and slight skin discoloration. This method does not require local anesthesia (although a numbing cream may be used) and is typically low on the pain threshold.
Ablative Laser Resurfacing
Removes more layers of skin, causing collagen to regenerate in much the same way it would if your body was healing a wound. This healing process brings about a healthier, more even skin tone than the non-ablative procedure, and is much more effective in reducing the appearance of deep wrinkles, scars, severe discoloration, and other facial blemishes. May require local anesthesia.
Recovery from Laser Skin Resurfacing
As with any procedure, recovery will vary from person to person. Many individuals report little to no discomfort after the procedure. Here are the guidelines we recommend for recovery:
- For two to three weeks following the procedure, you should treat the area two to five times daily with a gentle cleanser, diluted vinegar, or saline solution. Then you will apply an ointment like Vaseline to the treated area after each cleaning.
During this time, peeling is not only expected, it is necessary. By following this at-home routine, you will help to promote healthy healing without scabs or other blemishes that might reduce the aesthetics of your laser resurfacing treatment.
After the initial healing process, small red bumps may still appear on your skin for the next few months. These bumps are temporary and can be camouflaged with the use of makeup until they disappear.

One of the most powerful treatments we offer for rejuvenating the skin is laser skin resurfacing. This cutting-edge procedure can address a variety of skin concerns, delivering dramatic improvements in skin texture, tone, and overall appearance. In this article, we will explore the numerous benefits of laser skin resurfacing and why it is an excellent choice for enhancing your skin’s health and beauty.
What is Laser Skin Resurfacing?
Laser skin resurfacing is a non-surgical treatment that uses concentrated beams of light to remove damaged skin layers and stimulate the growth of new, healthy skin. This process not only improves the skin’s surface but also promotes collagen production, leading to firmer, more youthful-looking skin. At Broadway Plastic Surgery and Med Spa, we utilize state-of-the-art laser technology to ensure safe and effective results tailored to your specific skin concerns.
Benefits of Laser Skin Resurfacing
1. Reduction of Fine Lines and Wrinkles
One of the primary benefits of laser skin resurfacing is its ability to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. By removing the outer layers of damaged skin and promoting collagen production, laser resurfacing helps to smooth out lines around the eyes, mouth, and forehead. This results in a more youthful and refreshed appearance, making it an ideal treatment for those looking to combat the signs of aging.
2. Improves Skin Texture and Tone
Laser skin resurfacing is highly effective in improving skin texture and tone. The treatment targets uneven skin texture, rough patches, and enlarged pores, leaving your skin feeling smoother and more refined. Additionally, laser resurfacing can address issues such as hyperpigmentation, age spots, and sun damage, resulting in a more even and radiant complexion.
3. Scar Reduction
Whether you have acne scars, surgical scars, or scars from an injury, laser skin resurfacing can significantly improve their appearance. The laser technology stimulates the skin’s natural healing processes, promoting the growth of new skin cells and collagen. This helps to reduce the visibility of scars and create a more uniform skin surface.
4. Minimizes Pore Size
Enlarged pores can be a cosmetic concern for many individuals, often contributing to an uneven skin texture and increased oil production. Laser skin resurfacing can help to minimize the size of your pores by removing the outer layers of skin and stimulating collagen production. This results in a smoother, more refined skin surface and a reduction in excess oil.
5. Treats Sun Damage
Prolonged sun exposure can cause significant damage to your skin, leading to issues such as sunspots, uneven pigmentation, and premature aging. Laser skin resurfacing effectively targets and removes damaged skin cells, reducing the appearance of sun damage and promoting a healthier, more youthful complexion. Regular treatments can also help to protect your skin from further sun damage by encouraging the growth of new, resilient skin cells.
6. Stimulates Collagen Production
Collagen is a vital protein that provides structure and elasticity to your skin. As we age, collagen production naturally decreases, leading to sagging skin and the formation of wrinkles. Laser skin resurfacing stimulates the production of new collagen, helping to firm and tighten the skin. This boost in collagen not only improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles but also enhances overall skin tone and elasticity.
7. Customizable Treatments
At Broadway Plastic Surgery and Med Spa, we understand that each individual’s skin is unique. Our laser skin resurfacing treatments are fully customizable, allowing us to tailor the procedure to your specific skin type and concerns. Whether you need a mild resurfacing treatment or a more intensive session, our skilled professionals will develop a personalized treatment plan to achieve the best possible results for your skin.
8. Minimal Downtime and Recovery
One of the advantages of laser skin resurfacing is that it offers significant results with minimal downtime. While some redness and swelling are common after the treatment, these side effects typically subside within a few days. Most clients can return to their normal activities shortly after the procedure. Our team will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth and speedy recovery.
