Skin Conditions That Benefit From Skin Resurfacing

Laser skin resurfacing is an effective solution for a variety of skin concerns, improving both texture and tone by stimulating collagen production and promoting skin renewal. It can help address:

Fine lines and wrinkles – Smooths out aging signs by enhancing collagen production.
Acne scars and surgical scars – Reduces the appearance of scars by resurfacing damaged skin layers.
Hyperpigmentation and sunspots – Fades dark spots, melasma, and sun damage for a more even complexion.
Uneven skin texture – Improves roughness, dullness, and overall skin quality.
Enlarged pores – Minimizes pore size for a smoother, more refined look.
Stretch marks – Helps fade and improve the texture of stretch marks over time.

Lumenis ResurFX™ Fractional Resurfacing

The Lumenis ResurFX Fractional Resurfacing treatment is a cutting-edge solution for those seeking to improve their skin’s texture, reduce the presence of fine lines, and diminish scars or stretch marks.

Using advanced laser technology, ResurFX stimulates collagen production by creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin's deeper layers. This process promotes natural healing and rejuvenation, resulting in smoother, firmer skin over time.

One of the standout features of ResurFX is that it requires only one pass over the skin to be effective, minimizing treatment time and discomfort. Plus, because it's a non-ablative laser, there's minimal downtime involved.

Venus Viva™ Skin Resurfacing

Venus Viva offers a versatile approach to skin rejuvenation, addressing a variety of concerns such as wrinkles, enlarged pores, uneven texture, and pigmentation irregularities. This treatment utilizes NanoFractional Radio Frequency (RF) technology to deliver controlled heat to the skin's deeper layers, stimulating collagen and elastin production and causing a noticeable improvement in your skin’s tone and texture with minimal discomfort and downtime.

Fraxel® DUAL Skin Resurfacing

Addressing Advanced Concerns

Fraxel DUAL Skin Resurfacing is renowned for its ability to address more advanced skin concerns, including deeper wrinkles, sun damage, and acne scars. By using fractional laser technology, the Fraxel system creates a series of microscopic treatment zones that trigger your body's natural healing response, which replaces damaged skin with fresh, healthy tissue.

Targeted Treatment Options

The "dual" aspect refers to the system's two wavelengths, allowing for targeted treatment of both superficial and deeper skin layers. Your practitioner can customize the treatment to address your specific concerns, with transformative results including smoother texture, reduced pigmentation, and a more youthful complexion.

Laser Skin Resurfacing FAQs

How long does a laser skin resurfacing treatment take?

A session typically lasts 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the treatment area and laser type.

Is laser resurfacing painful?

Most patients describe a warming or prickling sensation during treatment. A numbing cream or local anesthesia may be used to enhance comfort.

How many sessions are needed for best results?

The number of sessions varies based on the skin concern and laser type. Anywhere from 1 to 5 session will be recommended by the licensed estheticians at Hayes Valley Medical Esthetics Medical Spa

How soon will I see results?

Initial results may appear within a few days, but full results typically develop over several weeks to months as collagen production increases.

Are laser skin resurfacing results permanent?

While results can be long-lasting, skin continues to age, so maintenance treatments may be needed. Proper skincare and sun protection can help prolong results.
