Laser resurfacing is a skin-rejuvenating treatment that reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, scars, hyperpigmentation, and skin discoloration from blemishes or trauma. It can also shrink enlarged pores. The process involves directing pulses of light energy to remove the top layer of skin so that healthy, fresh, evenly-toned and textured skin can be revealed.

Custom laser skin resurfacing treatments: What should I expect?
A laser resurfacing treatment will be performed with meticulous care at our upper east side Manhattan clinic, by one of New York’s most acclaimed plastic surgeons. We use the most advanced lasers for skin treatments, including a broad array of the most effective technology available, with an exacting administration of the laser treatments to ensure a superior outcome. It is an outpatient treatment with an easy recovery. The procedure requires about 30 minutes, or up to two hours for a more extensive treatment. Your skin will be numbed with a mild topical anesthetic and protected with a special gel.
What is the expected recovery time after laser resurfacing?
After a laser skin treatment, it is normal to experience some redness, itching, and swelling. If you experience any discomfort, it is typically easily managed with over-the-counter pain medication. The areas treated may appear pink or red for a period, as your skin heals and restores. Any redness can be hidden with your usual cosmetics. The entire recovery is usually accomplished within two weeks (often less depending on the treatment performed), with your skin appearing smooth, fresh, and youthful, demonstrating a significant improvement in the discolorations and texture problems you had prior to treatment.
The right laser treatment – for you
You have unique skin issues, and the most effective laser resurfacing treatment for you will be based upon a full evaluation of your skin. The beauty of laser resurfacing is that it not only leaves your
skin looking youthful, fresh, and even in tone, but the results continue to improve, as the treatment triggers natural collagen regeneration and tightens existing collagen fibers. Dr. Darren Smith takes his responsibility to his patients very seriously, employing the most advanced laser skin resurfacing to produce results that last for years – and suit your skin type and tone.
