Renew Your Skin with Laser Resurfacing

Laser Resurfacing Step-by-Step

At Terra Skin Clinic, your journey towards skin rejuvenation through laser resurfacing starts with an in-depth initial consultation and comprehensive skin assessment. This allows us to tailor the treatment plan according to your unique skin needs, ensuring maximum effectiveness.

During the procedure, a topical anesthetic is applied to ensure your comfort. We employ non-ablative lasers in our treatments that work by targeting the underlying tissues without causing surface damage, offering a minimally invasive approach to skin rejuvenation.

Each session generally lasts between 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the area being treated. Post-treatment, it's normal to experience some redness and swelling. These symptoms typically subside within a few days.

Your practitioner will provide you with specific aftercare instructions, which will include the use of prescribed ointments and the vital importance of avoiding sun exposure to aid optimal healing. Recovery from non-ablative laser resurfacing is typically quicker than ablative methods, with minimal disruption to your daily activities.

Potential side effects, such as temporary pigmentation changes, are rare and can be effectively managed with proper care and follow-up visits. At Terra Skin Clinic, we're committed to providing you with a safe and effective treatment journey, ensuring your skin is at its healthiest and looks its best.

Expected Results and Treatment Frequency

Laser resurfacing at Terra Skin Clinic offers transformative results, with visible improvements typically emerging within a few days to weeks post-treatment. For conditions such as fine lines, mild wrinkles, and pigmentation issues, non-ablative laser treatments often show initial results after a single session, though a series of 3-5 sessions spaced a few weeks apart is usually recommended for optimal outcomes.

Maintenance treatments every 6-12 months help sustain the benefits, ensuring continued skin rejuvenation and prevention of new issues. Long-term care involves diligent sun protection, proper skincare routines, and periodic follow-up appointments to monitor progress. Over several months, patients will notice cumulative benefits, including enhanced skin texture, reduced scars, and a more even skin tone. By adhering to the recommended treatment plan and aftercare, you can enjoy lasting, radiant skin improvements.
