What to Expect

Your skin resurfacing journey begins with a consultation where we'll assess your skin, discuss your concerns and recommend the treatment that's right for you.

On the day of your treatment, your provider will explain each step and answer any questions before you begin.

Recovery depends on the treatment you receive.

LaseMD Ultra typically causes mild redness for a few hours to a few days, depending on the treatment settings and your skin. As your skin renews, you'll notice a smoother, brighter complexion

Microneedling usually causes redness for 24 to 48 hours while your skin begins its natural repair process. Improvements continue to develop over the following weeks as new collagen is produced.

Most guests benefit from a series of combination treatments, although many notice healthier-looking skin after their first visit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is skin resurfacing painful?

Most guests find skin resurfacing very comfortable. Depending on the treatment, you may experience warmth, tingling or mild sensitivity during the procedure. We'll explain what to expect before your treatment and take steps to keep you as comfortable as possible.

How many treatments will I need?

That depends on your skin concerns and your goals. Some guests notice an improvement after one treatment, while others achieve the best results with a series of treatments. We'll discuss our recommendations during your consultation.

Is there any downtime?

Downtime varies depending on the treatment selected. LaseMD Ultra typically involves minimal downtime, while Microneedling usually requires a day or two of recovery. We'll explain the expected healing time before your treatment so you know what to expect.

Which treatment is better, LaseMD Ultra or Microneedling?

Both treatments are highly effective, but they work differently. LaseMD Ultra is often recommended for pigmentation and overall skin rejuvenation, while Microneedling is commonly recommended for acne scars, skin texture and collagen stimulation. In many cases, combining both treatments provides the best overall result.

During your consultation, we'll recommend the treatment that best fits your skin and your goals.

Am I a good candidate for skin resurfacing?

Most healthy adults looking to improve skin texture, tone or early signs of aging are good candidates for skin resurfacing. A consultation allows us to assess your skin, review your medical history and recommend the safest and most effective treatment for you.

Can skin resurfacing be combined with other treatments?

Yes. Skin resurfacing is often combined with other treatments as part of a personalized treatment plan. Depending on your goals, we may recommend complementary treatments to enhance or maintain your results.
