Laser resurfacing is a cosmetic procedure that uses concentrated beams of light to reduce facial wrinkles, scars, and blemishes. It works by removing the outer layer of skin (the epidermis) and heating the underlying skin (the dermis), which increases the growth of natural proteins called collagen fibres. This results in smoother, firmer, younger-looking skin.

Expect your recovery from laser resurfacing to take between one to three weeks, depending on the intensity of the treatment. During this time your skin may be raw, swollen, and itchy. Follow any aftercare instructions from your dermatologist, such as avoiding sun exposure and applying any prescribed creams to support the healing process.

Recovery varies by treatment intensity. Non-ablative treatments have minimal downtime (1–3 days of redness). Ablative resurfacing can require 1–2 weeks of healing. Sun protection is critical during and after recovery.

Skin conditions like wrinkles, age spots, uneven skin tones, acne scars, and sun-damaged skin can all be effectively treated by laser resurfacing. It can also reduce scars and fine lines around the eyes, forehead, and mouth.

Possible side effects of laser resurfacing include redness, swelling, itching, or burning sensations at the site of the treatment. Some people may also experience changes in skin color, infection, or scarring. But these side effects are extremely rare when the treatment is done by a skilled professional.
