Laser Skin Resurfacing & Texture Refinement

The versatile technology addresses a wide range of textural and tonal concerns. It is commonly used to treat acne scars, stretch marks, and fine lines. It can effectively fade sun spots and reduce the appearance of enlarged pores. Overall skin quality—including dullness and pigmentation issues—benefits significantly from laser resurfacing.

Traditional resurfacing lasers remove the top layer of skin, causing damage that requires significant healing time. In contrast, the LaseMD Ultra laser targets deeper layers while leaving the surface intact. LaseMD Ultra is fractional (treating only a portion of the skin at a time) and non-ablative (rejuvenating the skin without removing the surface).

Yes. This technology is one of the most effective non-surgical treatments for improving the appearance of both. The laser breaks down scar tissue, triggering the production of collagen and elastin. Because acne scars and stretch marks involve deeper disruptions in the skin’s structure, treatment typically requires multiple sessions. While laser resurfacing may not erase these concerns, it can significantly reduce their visibility.

Patients commonly receive a series of 3 to 5 treatments spaced approximately 4 weeks apart. You typically notice gradual improvement after each session, especially with textural issues such as scars. Results are typically long-lasting, though they do not stop the natural aging process. Periodic maintenance treatments can help preserve these improvements over time.

Your in-office treatment begins with a topical numbing cream to ensure comfort. As the laser is applied, you may feel a slight, warm prickling sensation. Immediately after the procedure, your skin will typically appear red and feel similar to a mild sunburn for several days. Minor flaking and rough spots are common as the skin heals. Most patients fully recover within 2 to 5 days.
