What is Laser Skin Resurfacing?

Laser skin resurfacing and plasma skin rejuvenation at Mountain View Dermatology and Aesthetics are noninvasive treatments that use pulsating light beams to remove damaged skin layer by layer. These procedures effectively address facial lines, wrinkles, acne scars, pigmentation, and other skin imperfections, resulting in clearer, softer, and more youthful-looking skin. The laser settings are adjusted to match each patient’s skin type, and most procedures require minimal downtime. Dr. Marc I. Epstein and his team in Tucson, AZ are available to answer any questions during your consultation.

What Can I Expect from Laser Skin Resurfacing?

Prior to deeper resurfacing sessions, a retinoid cream may be prescribed for 2–3 weeks to prepare the skin for optimal results. Medications may also be suggested to minimize discomfort. For mild treatments, topical anesthesia can numb the targeted areas, while sedation may be used for full-face or deeper procedures. During the session, you will relax in our treatment chair while the laser precisely targets areas needing improvement. Patients typically feel warmth from the laser followed by cooling from the system’s built-in device. The procedure removes damaged skin cells and stimulates collagen growth, promoting rejuvenated skin.
