Advanced Laser Technology
Laser Skin Resurfacing Recovery
One of the advantages of the Lumenis ResurFX is its minimal downtime. Most patients experience some redness and mild swelling for 3-5 days after treatment. You may also feel a sensation similar to a mild sunburn. We'll provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing and results, including the use of gentle skincare products and diligent sun protection.
Rejuvenation Through Laser Resurfacing
Laser Skin Resurfacing Results
Many patients notice an improvement in their skin's texture and tone immediately after treatment. However, the full results of laser skin resurfacing develop over time as your body produces new collagen. Most patients see significant improvements within 2-3 weeks, with results continuing to improve for up to six months.
The longevity of results varies depending on individual factors and the number of treatments received. Many patients enjoy the benefits of laser skin resurfacing for a year or more. For optimal results, we typically recommend a series of 3-5 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart, with maintenance treatments as needed.
