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.

Laser resurfacing is a cosmetic procedure that uses laser energy to remove the outer layers of skin and stimulate collagen production, improving skin texture, tone, and the appearance of wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, and uneven pigmentation.

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.

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.
