What Is Laser Skin Resurfacing?
Laser skin resurfacing at Dr. Ghazizadeh MD is a cutting-edge, noninvasive aesthetic procedure that revitalizes the skin by using pulsating beams of light to eliminate damaged cells one layer at a time. This innovative procedure is effective at reducing the appearance of facial wrinkles and lines and diminishing skin blemishes, including hyperpigmentation, acne scars, and more. Also referred to as a laser peel, laser skin resurfacing is popular for patients desiring softer, clearer, youthful-looking skin. Based on your cosmetic goals and skin needs, Dr. Shabnam Ghazizadeh can adjust your laser treatment for better results. If you have any questions about laser skin resurfacing at our Newport Beach, CA office, contact Dr. Ghazizadeh MD and schedule your skin exam and consultation.
How Do Laser Skin Treatments Work?
Based on your complexion and level of skin damage, Dr. Ghazizadeh may recommend a more or less intensive approach for your laser skin resurfacing treatment. There are three common types of laser peel treatments: Ablatice Laser Treatments, Non-ablative Laser Treatments, Fractional Laser Treatments.
For deeper or more intensive laser resurfacing treatments, you may be given a topical retinoid to use for 2 – 3 weeks to prepare your skin and further improve your results. Medication will be given prior to the procedure to help minimize any sensation so you can relax during your appointment. If your skin only needs mild correction, a topical anesthetic may be applied to numb treated areas of the face. For the whole face or more intense laser procedures, some type of sedation may be necessary. During the procedure, you can relax in our treatment chair while the CO2 laser device passes over your skin, directly targeting the designated surfaces for improvement. You will feel heat from the laser, followed by cold air from the built-in cooling system. The laser energy works to eliminate damaged skin cells while also stimulating new collagen growth.
Lighter resurfacing treatments will typically heal over the course of a few days as your skin peels to reveal a rejuvenated appearance. For those who are undergoing a deeper laser treatment, your recovery period will take 2 – 3 weeks. The treated areas may be protected with dressings, and the swelling, burning, and irritation sensation may be stronger. Pain medication can be prescribed to lessen these side effects. Regardless of which treatment you undergo, you should try to reduce exposing your skin to the sun following your resurfacing session and use sunscreen regularly to maintain your results and protect your complexion. It is also important to avoid interfering with the healing process to prevent scarring and to protect your face from sun exposure. After the peeling is finished, the treated skin should feel softer while also appearing rejuvenated, younger, and clearer.

ABLATIVE LASER TREATMENTS
Ablative lasers eliminate thin layers of skin, similar to dermabrasion or a deep chemical peel, with a precision that allows the technician to minimize damage to the skin. Ablative lasers are best for skin tightening, as well as removing acne scars and wrinkles.
NON-ABLATIVE LASER TREATMENTS
Non-ablative laser treatments don't remove any skin — rather, the laser light creates micro-damage to the skin cells to prompt natural healing. Non-ablative treatments are best for minimizing fine lines and wrinkles in patients who are able to wait 2 – 3 months to see strong results.
FRACTIONAL LASER TREATMENTS
Fractional lasers are a combination of non-ablative and ablative that create tiny holes in the deep skin layers. The skin's natural healing process leads to firmer skin. Fractional lasers can also be used for deep wrinkles, sun damage, acne scars, and pigmentation problems.
IPL (INTENSE PULSED LIGHT) THERAPY
IPL therapy utilizes broad-spectrum light to target pigment irregularities, such as sunspots, freckles, and redness. It also stimulates collagen production, resulting in smoother, more even-toned skin with reduced signs of aging.
CO2 LASER THERAPY
CO2 laser therapy is a more intensive treatment that vaporizes damaged skin cells layer by layer. It is highly effective for treating deep wrinkles, scars, and pigmentation issues, resulting in significant skin tightening and rejuvenation.
ND: YAG LASER TREATMENT
Nd:YAG laser treatment targets deeper layers of the skin, making it ideal for addressing vascular lesions, such as spider veins and broken capillaries. It can also be used for hair removal and skin tightening, producing smoother and more even-toned skin.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does laser skin resurfacing last?
The results of laser skin resurfacing can last several years, depending on the type of laser used, the depth of the treatment, and your skin care regimen post-treatment. Typically, results can last anywhere from 1 to 5 years. Factors such as sun exposure, aging, and lifestyle choices will affect the longevity of the results. Regular maintenance treatments and a good skincare routine can help prolong the effects.
How often can you do laser skin resurfacing?
The frequency of laser skin resurfacing treatments depends on the type of laser used and the individual's skin condition. For ablative lasers, treatments are usually spaced several months to a year apart. Non-ablative laser treatments may be done more frequently, such as every 4 to 6 weeks. It's essential to follow your provider's recommendations to avoid over-treating the skin.
Who can perform laser skin resurfacing?
Laser skin resurfacing should be performed by a qualified and experienced provider, such as a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon. It's crucial to choose a provider with specialized training in laser treatments to ensure safety and optimal results.
How long does it take to see results from laser skin resurfacing?
Initial improvements can be seen within a week as the skin begins to heal and regenerate. However, the most significant results typically appear over several weeks to months as collagen production increases and the skin continues to improve. Full results can take up to 6 months to be visible.
Can I get laser skin resurfacing for stretch marks?
Yes, laser skin resurfacing can be used to treat stretch marks. It helps improve the texture and appearance of stretch marks by stimulating collagen production and promoting skin regeneration. Multiple sessions may be required to achieve optimal results, depending on the severity of the stretch marks.
Can laser skin resurfacing be done under eyes?
Yes, laser skin resurfacing can be safely performed under the eyes to address concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, and dark circles. This delicate area requires precise treatment by an experienced provider to ensure safety and effectiveness.
Laser Skin Resurfacing Recovery
After undergoing laser skin resurfacing, it's essential to follow proper post-treatment care to ensure optimal healing and results. Typically, patients can expect some redness, swelling, and mild discomfort immediately after the procedure, which may persist for a few days to a week, depending on the intensity of the treatment. Dr. Ghazizadeh will provide detailed instructions on how to care for your skin during the recovery period, including the use of gentle skincare products and sunscreen to protect your skin from sun exposure.
It's essential to avoid picking or scratching the treated areas to prevent infection and scarring. As your skin heals, you'll notice gradual improvements in texture, tone, and overall appearance, with full results becoming visible over the following weeks to months. With proper post-treatment care, you can enjoy smoother, more youthful-looking skin and long-lasting rejuvenation.
