Home/Non-Surgical Facial Rejuvenation Procedures/Laser Skin Resurfacing

Laser skin resurfacing is a very effective procedure to rejuvenate the skin and delay aging. Using the latest laser technology, our experienced facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Jess Prischmann, is able to maximize results and individualize treatments while maintaining safety and minimizing risks to her patients.

Who is a good candidate?

Patients considering deeper laser resurfacing have ideally experienced less aggressive skin peels without any healing concerns.

How is the procedure performed?

Patients considering laser resurfacing first have a consultation with Dr. Prischmann to determine candidacy. Once Dr. Prischmann determines a patient is a good candidate, she discusses the depth of resurfacing. In general, deeper peels are more powerful, but also have more discomfort and downtime.

Our laser procedures are performed in-office. Depending on the depth of laser resurfacing, anesthesia (topical or local) is provided prior to treatment. Oral medications are also provided for deeper peels. If oral medications are used, a driver is required for the procedure. Virtually all deeper laser resurfacing patients are pre-treated with antiviral medications, regardless of a history of cold sores. The procedure takes 30 to 60 minutes.

What is the recovery?

Downtime associated with laser resurfacing depends on the depth of treatment. Mild treatments have minimal recovery time. Moderate treatments can have 5-7 days of downtime. Deep treatments can have 7 to 10 days of downtime. Meticulous care of the skin is required. Patients are often placed on antibiotics and antiviral medications to prevent infections.

HALO™ Hybrid Fractional Laser Skin Resurfacing

Dr. Prischmann and her team offer several advanced laser treatments, including the innovative HALO™ Hybrid Fractional Laser procedure. This state-of-the-art method of laser skin resurfacing utilizes two laser wavelengths in combination – one focuses on superficial skin layers while the other delivers energy to deeper layers. This unique treatment can improve signs of skin aging and discoloration, enlarged pores, and skin texture. It also provides a much faster and more comfortable recovery compared to traditional full-field laser resurfacing for many patients.
