What Is Laser Resurfacing?
Laser resurfacing is a treatment that uses controlled light energy to remove damaged outer layers of skin while stimulating new collagen production beneath the surface.
As your skin heals, new skin cells replace older, uneven layers, helping improve texture, refine tone, and create a smoother, more even appearance.

Treatment Options
Different types of laser resurfacing are available, and each is selected based on your skin type, concerns, and desired level of treatment.
- Fully Ablative Erbium Laser Resurfacing - Compared to the commonly known CO2 laser, erbium laser resurfacing offers a more controlled approach with less effect on surrounding tissue. It is often a good option for patients seeking improvement with a lower risk of side effects.
- MicroLaser Peel- MicroLaser Peel is erbium laser resurfacing that offers a more gentle controlled approach to treating a wide variety of skin concerns. It is often a good option for patients with busy schedules seeking less downtime. It can also be used on areas such as the hands, neck, or chest.
- Fractional Laser Resurfacing - Fractional laser resurfacing treats the skin in a pattern of targeted areas, allowing untreated skin to support faster healing. This approach helps stimulate collagen and tighten the skin while improving overall texture.Common treatment areas include the face, under eyes, neck, and chest.
Your provider will recommend the most appropriate treatment based on your skin and your goals.
Benefits of Laser Skin Resurfacing
Skin changes over time as collagen production slows and sun damage accumulates. Laser resurfacing helps your skin repair itself by encouraging new collagen and healthy skin cell turnover.
Patients who choose laser resurfacing treatment often notice:
- Smoother skin texture
- More even tone and reduced discoloration
- Improvement in sun damage and pigmentation
- Softening of fine lines and wrinkles
- Reduction in the appearance of scars and pores
Results continue to improve as the skin heals and rebuilds over time.
What to Expect
Laser resurfacing is performed using the Sciton Erbium Laser, a specialized device that delivers controlled energy to targeted areas of the skin.
Your skin will appear red and feel sensitive as it begins to heal. Some treatments involve light peeling, while others require a longer recovery period.
As your skin heals, new skin replaces treated areas, revealing smoother texture and improved tone.

Laser resurfacing may be a good option if you are looking to improve concerns such as acne scarring, uneven tone, sun damage, fine lines, wrinkles, and overall skin texture. During your consultation, we evaluate your skin and discuss your goals to determine whether laser resurfacing is the right approach for you.
In some cases, other treatments may be more appropriate depending on your skin type or condition. If that is the case, we will guide you toward alternatives such as skin tightening treatments, injectables, medical-grade skincare, chemical peels, microneedling, or advanced facial treatments.
