Non-surgical skin rejuvenation and restoration.
What is the Laser Facial?
A laser facial using the ResurFX laser is a non-invasive cosmetic skin treatment designed to rejuvenate your skin by stimulating natural collagen production and resurfacing the skin’s texture. ResurFX is a non-ablative fractional laser, which means it delivers targeted energy beneath the surface of the skin without removing the top layer.
This technique minimizes downtime and risk while providing exceptional improvement for a variety of skin concerns. Unlike older laser technologies, ResurFX requires just one pass over the skin for each session, making treatments comfortable and efficient. The state-of-the-art scanner and fully customizable settings allow providers to address unique skin needs, whether for the face, neck, décolletage, arms, or other areas.
Benefits of Laser Facials
Laser facials offer numerous advantages for patients seeking skin rejuvenation and improvement without the discomfort or recovery time associated with traditional ablative lasers:
- Smoother, fresher, and more youthful-looking skin thanks to increased collagen and elastin production.
- Reduction of fine lines, wrinkles, and facial folds.
- Improved tone and texture, including minimizing pore size and addressing roughness.
- Diminished appearance of age spots, sun damage, and brown pigmentation for a more even complexion.
- Effective scar revision for acne scars, surgical scars, and stretch marks.
- Treats skin laxity and undereye hollowness, leading to tighter, firmer skin.
- Minimal downtime: Most patients experience temporary redness or swelling for only a few days, not weeks.
- Can be safely performed across multiple skin types and tones, and customized for different areas of the body.
- Long-lasting results, with a noticeable enhancement in skin quality after multiple sessions.
The Laser Facial Procedure
During a laser facial procedure, your provider will first cleanse your skin thoroughly and may apply a topical numbing cream to maximize your comfort. Once your skin is prepared, the ResurFX laser handpiece is gently passed across the targeted areas, typically the face, neck, or décolletage. As the fractional, non-ablative laser energy is delivered, you will feel mild warmth or tingling, but the process is generally well-tolerated.
The laser energy stimulates collagen and elastin production deep within the skin without harming the surface. Most treatments take 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the size of the area treated.
Recovery and Results
After the procedure, your skin may appear slightly pink or feel like a mild sunburn for a few hours. Cool compresses or soothing gel may be applied to minimize discomfort. You can return to normal activities soon after, with minimal downtime compared to other skin resurfacing technologies.
A customized series of sessions is recommended for optimal skin rejuvenation results. Proper aftercare, including gentle cleansing, moisturization, and broad-spectrum sunscreen, further enhances recovery and outcomes.
Most patients start to notice visible improvements in skin texture and tone within four to six weeks after their initial laser facial session, with optimal results becoming evident over the course of three to five treatments spaced several weeks apart. Improvements continue to develop for up to six months as new collagen forms, and smoother, firmer skin gradually appears. These rejuvenating results can last 12 to 18 months or longer, providing a naturally refreshed and youthful complexion.
