What Is Laser Skin Resurfacing?

Laser skin resurfacing is a non-surgical approach to rejuvenating the skin's surface and deeper layers by targeting unwanted pigmentation, fine lines, and textural irregularities. Using precisely calibrated laser energy, we remove or vaporize damaged skin cells to stimulate the body's natural healing processes. Over time, this action encourages collagen production, leading to firmer, smoother skin. Unlike peels or other abrasive procedures, modern lasers can be adapted to various skin types and concerns—from mild sun damage to more severe scarring—providing versatile solutions with adjustable levels of intensity.

At pēkomd®, our focus on patient-first care means that each laser treatment is thoughtfully designed to match your comfort level and goals. With proper technique and post-procedure care, you can enjoy long-lasting improvements in the look and feel of your skin while staying true to your unique facial features.

Our Laser Skin Resurfacing Options

We offer a range of laser technologies to suit different concerns and skin types. By selecting the appropriate device and technique, we aim to achieve the best possible balance of efficacy and ease of recovery.

CO2 Laser

Ideal for addressing deeper lines, wrinkles, and prominent texture issues, the CO2 laser removes the outer layers of skin in a controlled manner. This ablative approach encourages robust collagen growth, revealing smoother, more youthful tissue beneath.

Erbium Laser

A gentler approach than CO2, the erbium laser focuses on milder to moderate signs of aging, sun damage, and fine textural concerns. With less thermal damage, many patients experience shorter recovery times while still benefiting from comprehensive resurfacing.

Renuvion

Known for its plasma-based technology, Renuvion combines radiofrequency energy with helium plasma to tighten and resurface skin with precision. This method can achieve substantial improvements in tone and firmness, often with minimal downtime compared to more aggressive procedures.

What to Expect During Your Laser Skin Resurfacing Treatment at pēkomd

Your journey with laser skin resurfacing begins with a comprehensive consultation at one of our Ohio locations—Columbus, Dayton, or Toledo—where a board-certified provider evaluates your skin and outlines a customized plan. Whether we opt for CO2, erbium, or Renuvion technology depends on your specific needs, desired downtime, and aesthetic goals.

In some cases, combining lasers or pairing them with other treatments—like microneedling or chemical peels—may enhance your outcome. On the day of your procedure, your skin is cleansed, and we'll often apply a topical anesthetic to ensure comfort. For more intensive sessions—such as those involving CO2—sedation or local anesthesia might be recommended.

As the laser device glides over the target area, you may experience a warm or prickling sensation. The duration of your treatment can vary from 30 minutes to over an hour, depending on the size of the area and the depth of resurfacing. Immediately afterward, our staff will provide personalized aftercare instructions to help you heal smoothly and maintain your newly refreshed complexion.

Recovering After Your Laser Skin Resurfacing Procedure

Recovery times can differ significantly depending on which laser modality you receive. For instance, a CO2 laser session might involve a few days to a week of noticeable redness and peeling, while an erbium or Renuvion treatment may have you resuming normal routines more quickly. We'll advise you on sun protection, gentle skincare, and possibly using prescription creams to support the healing process and reduce the risk of infection. Initially, you may notice redness or swelling, which generally subsides as the skin regenerates over the coming days and weeks. It's crucial to follow our post-procedure guidance closely—using recommended moisturizers, avoiding direct sun exposure, and refraining from picking at flaking skin. Over time, you'll witness improvements in texture, tone, and overall radiance as collagen production continues. Periodic follow-up visits allow us to assess your progress, ensure your comfort, and suggest any enhancements needed to sustain or augment your results.

Are You an Ideal Candidate for Laser Skin Resurfacing?

Laser skin resurfacing can be a game-changer if you're dealing with signs of aging, sun damage, or textural issues like scars or enlarged pores. Good candidates typically have a healthy lifestyle, stable skin conditions, and realistic expectations about the temporary recovery process. While modern laser devices are increasingly adaptable to a variety of skin types, some individuals with deeper skin tones or specific medical concerns may need a tailored approach. At pēkomd®, we perform a thorough consultation to confirm that laser resurfacing aligns with your anatomy, goals, and health background, ensuring that every step of the journey is both safe and rewarding.
