Skin Resurfacing
Reveal smoother, brighter, healthier-looking skin.
As we mature, our skin undergoes natural changes that can affect its tone and texture. Fine lines can appear around the eyes and mouth, and wrinkles may develop on the forehead. Additionally, age spots and blemishes can emerge, causing the texture of our skin to appear uneven and rough. These changes are a natural part of the aging process, and they can be frustrating and challenging for many men and women.
Skin resurfacing is a type of laser treatment that effectively removes damaged and aged outer layers of the skin, while also stimulating the natural healing process of the skin. This results in the regeneration of new skin cells and increased collagen production.
The procedure is a popular solution for addressing a range of skin concerns, including wrinkles and fine lines, scars, acne scarring, skin texture and pores, as well as brown pigmentation and sun damage.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Skin resurfacing can be used to improve your overall skin quality on your face, hands and body.
The most common treatment areas are the face, under-eyes, neck, chest and hands.
For the most dramatic and noticeable results, we do recommend a full-face treatment.
-
After receiving laser resurfacing treatment at our clinic, it is important to follow the proper recovery process to ensure the best results.
Patients should avoid suntanning for 2-3 weeks prior to and following their treatment. This is because the skin will be more sensitive to the sun's UV rays during this time, which can increase the risk of sunburn and other complications.
To aid in the recovery process, our clinic will provide a post-recovery kit that includes medical-grade products designed to help soothe and heal the skin.
During the recovery period, it is recommended to avoid wearing makeup as much as possible. This is because the skin will be sensitive and may not respond well to certain cosmetic products. Additionally, wearing makeup can increase the risk of infection or other complications, which can delay the healing process.
-
After receiving laser resurfacing treatment, patients can expect to see results as soon as their skin has fully healed from the procedure.
For most people, this means it may take two to three weeks to see any significant results of this treatment.
-
For men and women with minor skin complaints, a single laser resurfacing treatment may be all that is needed to achieve improved texture and a more even skin tone. With routine maintenance, including wearing sunscreen and using medical-grade skincare, these patients can enjoy the benefits of their laser resurfacing treatments for 5 to 7 years before further treatments may be needed.
For patients with more significant skin complaints, such as acne scarring, uneven skin texture, or significant discolouration, yearly laser resurfacing treatments can be highly beneficial.
By maintaining a consistent routine with yearly laser resurfacing, patients can continue to promote collagen production and maintain a smooth, flawless appearance over time.

Skin resurfacing treatments are safe, effective and are suitable for all skin types.
