Remove Damaged Skin &

Laser skin resurfacing is a cutting-edge procedure that enhances skin texture and appearance by using focused light beams to remove damaged outer layers of skin. At Evolve Plastic Surgery, our surgeons utilize advanced laser technology to precisely target and eliminate imperfections. This process stimulates collagen production, promoting the growth of new, healthier skin cells. As a result, patients experience reduced wrinkles, diminished acne scars, and a more even skin tone, achieving a rejuvenated, youthful complexion.

Your Laser Skin Resurfacing Journey:
Before, During, and After

Before Laser Skin Resurfacing

Before your laser skin resurfacing treatment, you’ll have a consultation with our experienced aesthetic providers. During this consultation, your skin will be evaluated, and your medical history will be reviewed to ensure you’re a suitable candidate. You’ll receive personalized instructions, including guidelines on skincare, medications to avoid, and sun protection measures. Additionally, our team will discuss your goals and expectations.

During Laser Skin Resurfacing

During your laser skin resurfacing procedure, you’ll be comfortably positioned while our aesthetic providers prepare your skin. A topical anesthetic may be applied to minimize discomfort. Using a specialized laser device, the provider will direct focused light beams onto targeted areas of your skin, precisely removing damaged skin layers and stimulating collagen production. The procedure typically takes 30 minutes to two hours.

After Laser Skin Resurfacing

Following laser skin resurfacing, you may experience redness, swelling, and a mild sunburn-like sensation. These effects typically subside within a few days. You’ll receive detailed post-care instructions, including skincare guidelines and sun protection. Most patients return to normal activities within a week. Initial results, such as smoother and brighter skin, appear within a few days, with full results visible in a few months. The rejuvenating effects can last for years.
