Laser skin resurfacing is a cosmetic procedure to rejuvenate the skin by targeting imperfections like wrinkles, scars, and uneven pigmentation. It uses concentrated beams of light to remove damaged skin layers, prompting the growth of new, healthier tissue. Prejuvenation Aesthetics performs laser skin resurfacing using the Pearl Ablative Laser, a cutting-edge Erbium YAG laser that vaporizes the skin’s surface layer, stimulating collagen production and resulting in smoother, firmer skin.
Laser Skin Resurfacing
What is laser skin resurfacing?
Restore smooth, radiant skin with Pearl Ablative Laser
Pearl ablative laser skin resurfacing operates by emitting a wavelength of light specifically absorbed by water molecules in the skin. This absorption generates intense heat, vaporizing the targeted tissue layer by layer. As the damaged skin is removed, it prompts the body’s natural wound-healing response, stimulating collagen production and promoting the growth of fresh, smoother skin. The controlled thermal injury induced by the laser initiates a rejuvenation process, ultimately leading to improved skin texture and tone.

Your laser skin resurfacing experience
consultation
During your consultation, you’ll meet with a qualified practitioner to assess your skin’s condition and discuss your aesthetic goals. They’ll inquire about your medical history, skincare regimen, and previous cosmetic procedures. The practitioner will explain the procedure, potential risks, and expected outcomes. Together, you’ll develop a treatment plan tailored to address your specific concerns and achieve your desired results.
Treatment
During laser skin resurfacing, you’ll be comfortably positioned, and your skin will be cleansed and prepped. Protective eyewear will be provided to shield your eyes from the laser. The practitioner will precisely administer the laser energy to the targeted areas, guiding the device across your skin. You may feel a warming sensation, which can be managed with cooling techniques. The duration of treatment depends on the size of the treatment area.
Side Effects
Following laser skin resurfacing, expect a recovery period lasting several days to a few weeks, depending on the depth of treatment. Your skin will likely be red, swollen, and sensitive, similar to a sunburn. You may experience peeling or crusting as the skin heals. It’s essential to keep the treated area clean and moisturized and avoid sun exposure. Side effects may include temporary discomfort, itching, or changes in pigmentation.
Results
You’ll begin noticing improvements in your skin’s texture and appearance within the first week or two following laser skin resurfacing. However, full results develop over several weeks and months as your skin regenerates collagen and heals. The longevity of results varies depending on factors like the depth of treatment, your skin’s natural aging process, and sun exposure. With proper skincare and sun protection, the results can last for several years.
