Laser Skin Resurfacing

What is Laser Skin Resurfacing?

Laser skin resurfacing is an advanced cosmetic procedure that uses precise laser energy to remove damaged skin layers, stimulate collagen production, and reveal smoother, more youthful skin. This treatment effectively reduces fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and sun damage, making it one of the most sought-after non-surgical skin rejuvenation treatments.

At NewDermaMed, we offer customized laser resurfacing treatments tailored to your skin type, concerns, and goals.

How Does Laser Skin Resurfacing Work?

How Does Laser Skin Resurfacing Work?

Laser technology uses focused light energy to remove or repair damaged skin cells while promoting new collagen growth. There are two main types of laser resurfacing treatments:

  1. Ablative Lasers (CO and Erbium Lasers)

Removes damaged outer skin layers while heating deeper layers to stimulate collagen production.

Best for deep wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, and severe skin texture concerns.

More dramatic results but requires longer recovery time.

  1. Non-Ablative Lasers (Fraxel, Nd:YAG, PicoSure®)

Works beneath the skin without removing the surface layer, stimulating collagen production from within.

Best for fine lines, mild acne scars, pigmentation, and overall skin rejuvenation.

Minimal downtime but requires multiple sessions for optimal results.

Both laser types can be used individually or combined for a customized treatment approach that delivers optimal results with the right balance of effectiveness and downtime.
