At AMORE Health + Beauty, we help patients in Pleasant View and Clarksville restore healthier, more youthful-looking skin with advanced laser technology. Over time, skin naturally changes because of aging, sun damage, acne, and other factors. These changes often leave behind wrinkles, scars, discoloration, and uneven tone. Laser skin resurfacing provides a safe, modern way to refresh your skin and improve its overall quality without the need for invasive surgery. By using focused light energy, this treatment removes damaged skin cells and stimulates new collagen growth, helping you achieve a smoother, healthier complexion with long-lasting results.
Reasons for Laser Resurfacing
Patients consider laser resurfacing when they feel unhappy with the way their skin looks or feels. Common concerns treated with this procedure include:
- Wrinkles and fine lines
- Scars from acne or injury
- Sun damage or dark spots
- Melasma and other pigmentation issues
- Visible veins or spider veins
- Enlarged pores
Because it targets both surface imperfections and deeper skin layers, laser resurfacing offers solutions for a wide range of issues in a single treatment approach.
Types of Laser Resurfacing
There are two primary approaches to laser resurfacing: ablative and non-ablative.
- Ablative laser resurfacing removes a thin layer of skin to trigger regeneration. This option delivers more dramatic results in fewer sessions, but it also involves more healing time since the skin needs to repair itself.
- Non-ablative laser resurfacing heats the underlying tissue without removing skin. This process stimulates collagen production and gradually improves firmness and tone. Because it is gentler, non-ablative treatment involves little downtime but may require a series of sessions for best results.
A newer option, fractional ablative resurfacing, combines the benefits of both methods by targeting small zones of skin with precision. This allows faster healing with noticeable results, making it a popular choice for patients who want effective treatment without extended recovery.
What to Expect During the Procedure
Laser resurfacing is typically performed in the office with the help of topical anesthetic for comfort. Depending on the size of the area being treated, sessions may last from 30 to 90 minutes. Some patients notice visible improvements after a single treatment, while others benefit from multiple sessions to reach their goals. In some cases, touch-up treatments are recommended to maintain results over time.
Recovery and Aftercare
Healing depends on the type of resurfacing performed and your skin’s unique response.
- Non-ablative recovery: Most patients experience mild redness or peeling that fades in a few days. Ice packs and moisturizer can ease discomfort, and makeup can be applied to cover any redness. Normal activities can usually continue right away.
- Ablative recovery: This option requires more downtime. Treated areas may feel raw, swollen, and itchy for a short time. Ointments and dressings protect the skin during early healing, and patients are encouraged to avoid sun exposure and strenuous activity. New skin typically forms within one to two weeks, with redness gradually fading over the following months.
Your provider at AMORE Health + Beauty will give detailed instructions to help you care for your skin and ensure the best outcome.
Risks of Laser Resurfacing
While generally safe, laser resurfacing carries some risks as with any medical procedure. These may include temporary redness, changes in pigmentation, infection, or scarring. Most patients heal well when following proper aftercare, and complications are rare under the care of an experienced provider.
