LASER SKIN RESURFACING NYC
SKIN REJUVENATION
Laser skin resurfacing can transform your skin to a radiant appearance. Many patients turn to lasers to treat a variety of skin conditions, such as acne scars, blotches, wrinkles, blemishes, fine lines, and more. Our dermatologists are experts in treating skin conditions of the neck, face, and body with the latest laser technology. Laser skin resurfacing not only improves skin tone and texture. New York City patients can also enjoy the benefits of skin tightening and collagen production from the sophisticated heat energy laser skin resurfacing provides. Your skin can have a more contoured, tighter appearance, that makes you look younger and rejuvenated. The technology used in laser therapy results in little-to-no downtime with transformational results. At Dermatology, Laser & Surgery of Carnegie Hill, we can help create a laser treatment plan specially curated to your skincare goals.
HOW DOES LASER SKIN RESURFACING WORK?
Laser skin resurfacing technology is unique as it can treat the dermis (the deep layers of the skin) without harming the epidermis (the top layer of skin). The laser technology of today keeps the epidermis safe with cooling technology. Laser skin resurfacing boosts skin cell turnover, allowing for the regeneration of new, healthier skin cells. Laser energy sent toward the dermis produces fibroblasts, the cells that create collagen and elastin. Increased collagen and elastin promote firmer skin for youthful-looking results.

WHAT LASERS ARE USED FOR LASER SKIN RESURFACING IN NYC?
At Dermatology, Laser & Surgery of Carnegie Hill, we use the M22™, a modular aesthetic laser multi-application platform. The M22™ utilizes 4 laser types:
ResurFX™ uses laser technology that can stimulate new collagen and elastin production. What makes ResurFX™ so unique is that it only takes one treatment to reach optimal results. ResurFX™ is particularly effective for fine lines, wrinkles, skin pigmentation, uneven skin tone, stretch marks, and acne scars. Cooling technology is equipped in all ResurFX™ lasers to ensure patients are comfortable during their procedure.
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Therapy uses optimal pulse technology (OPT) to achieve the best results. IPL skin resurfacing uses light energy and is suited to treat skin pigmentation, wrinkles, scars, and more.
Multi-Spot™ Nd:YAG is best used for treating spider veins, varicose veins, and vascular lesions.
Q-Switched Nd:YAG is the best laser to use for tattoo removal. It is effective for this purpose because of how well tattoos take on the wavelength of light used. The Q-Switched Nd:YAG uses multiple wavelengths to treat dark tattoos, colorful tattoos, and everything in between.
DOES LASER SKIN RESURFACING REQUIRE ANESTHESIA?
Laser skin resurfacing does not require general or local anesthesia. Instead, a topical numbing cream is used to ensure you feel safe and comfortable during your procedure.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT AFTER LASER SKIN RESURFACING?
There may be some redness and sensitivity after your laser therapy procedure. Itching and irritation are also common symptoms. These symptoms should subside within a few days. It is best to avoid sun exposure for a few weeks after laser skin resurfacing treatment and apply SPF if going outdoors. Applying moisturizer creams is recommended to help aid with the healing process.
WHAT RESULTS CAN I EXPECT FROM LASER SKIN RESURFACING?
Multiple laser skin resurfacing treatments can provide visible results for fine lines, wrinkles, sun-damaged skin, acne scarring, and more. The results should be long-lasting and give you a renewed appearance.
