Laser skin resurfacing makes your skin hypersensitive to the sun, so patients must wear sunscreen daily.
Treatment is recommended to be performed in the fall or winter when the days are shorter.
The procedure may hurt. It depends on the laser, the treatment area, and the patient’s pain tolerance.
There are a variety of laser options and each one addresses a different, specific skin concern.
Non-ablative lasers require no downtime, but ablative lasers can require a 2-3 week healing process.
