One can expect continuing improvement for up to six months after treatment.

FAQs
-
Ablative Laser Resurfacing (CO2, Er:YAG) results can last 3-5 years or more, with maintenance required to preserve the results.
Non-Ablative Laser Resurfacing (Fractional CO2, Fractional Er:YAG, Nd:YAG) results typically last 1-3 years, but require ongoing treatments for sustained improvement.
Sun protection, a healthy lifestyle, and good skincare are crucial to maintaining the effects of the procedure for as long as possible.
-
Yes, laser resurfacing can be highly beneficial for improving the texture, tone, and appearance of your skin, especially for those dealing with wrinkles, scarring, sun damage, or uneven skin tone.

-
Laser resurfacing is suitable for a wide range of people, particularly those who want to address common skin issues such as:
Fine lines and wrinkles.
Sun damage (e.g., sun spots, age spots).
Uneven skin tone (e.g., redness, pigmentation issues).
Acne scars or textural scars.
Enlarged pores.
-
Ablative lasers (CO2, Er:YAG) are more painful due to the deeper skin resurfacing they perform. While numbing agents and sedatives help manage discomfort during the treatment, post-treatment pain can range from moderate to severe in the days following the procedure.
Non-ablative lasers (Fractional CO2, Nd:YAG) are much less painful and generally have mild discomfort during and after the treatment.
The overall pain experienced can vary based on individual pain tolerance and treatment intensity, but the procedure is generally well-tolerated with proper preparation, pain management, and aftercare.
Pain Management During the Procedure:
To minimize discomfort during the procedure, the following techniques are typically used:
Topical Numbing Cream: Applied to the skin about 30 minutes before treatment to numb the area and reduce pain.
Local Anesthesia: For more invasive procedures, particularly ablative lasers, a local anesthetic (usually an injection) may be used to completely numb the treatment area.
Sedation: For highly sensitive individuals or aggressive treatments, some patients opt for oral sedatives or a mild IV sedative to relax and numb the body further.
