Laser aesthetics

Laser resurfacing

Smoother, brighter skin. Resurfacing removes damaged outer layers and stimulates new collagen underneath to treat lines, sun damage, uneven tone and acne scars.

What resurfacing treats

Treats

Your laser resurfacing visit

  1. Free consultation

    Our certified laser experts assess your skin type, texture and concerns and design a plan for you.

  2. Treatment

    The SmartXide2 fractional CO2 laser works on the damaged layers. Most sessions take 20 to 40 minutes; you may feel gentle warmth or tingling.

  3. Aftercare and results

    Redness and mild flaking are normal and temporary. Use a gentle cleanser, keep skin moisturized, wear broad spectrum SPF, and skip exfoliants and retinoids for a few days. Results build over the following weeks.

Laser resurfacing questions

Call (719) 344-8249

Who is a good candidate?

Healthy adults who want to improve sun damage, fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, or uneven tone and texture, with realistic expectations and no active infection or inflammation in the area.

Who should avoid resurfacing?

People with active skin infections, open wounds, or eczema or psoriasis in the area should wait until it heals. Pregnant or nursing women should postpone treatment, and a history of keloid scarring may rule it out.

What are the risks?

Redness, swelling and mild peeling are expected. Less often, skin can lighten or darken, or become sensitive to sun. Rare risks include prolonged redness, infection or scarring. Following aftercare lowers these risks.

How long do results last?

Months or longer, especially with good skincare and sun protection. Lifestyle, sun exposure and natural aging all play a part, and occasional maintenance treatments help.
