Laser Skin Resurfacing
Laser skin resurfacing is an innovative cosmetic procedure that aims to improve the skin’s appearance and condition. This laser removes or harms outer layers of the skin which contributes tissue regeneration and encourages collagen production. This process also smoothes out the skin’s texture and tone as it helps to reduce wrinkles, scars and pigmentation spots. Also the laser beam stimulates collagen protein when it reaches the skin’s deeper layers, this gives your skin its suppleness and firmness. As a result the skin looks younger, smoother and more bright.
This process can treat a variety of conditions, including wrinkles and skin laxity as well as age-related changes like acne and scars from it. Additionally, it can be used to treat pigmentation, enlarged pores and uneven skin tone

How does Laser Skin Resurfacing work?
The Laser Skin Resurfacing procedure begins with preparing the patient’s skin. To get rid of makeup, oils and dirt our specialist thoroughly clears the skin. During the process we use a numbing cream to reduce discomfort during the procedure, but local anaesthetic may be also used for larger areas or deeper treatments.
After preparation, our specialist targets the skin’s trouble spots using a laser. The deeper layers of the skin are stimulated to produce more collagen while the damaged outer layers of the skin are removed by the laser beam. This contributes regeneration and enhances skin tone, texture and general appearance. Each patient has a unique set of laser settings based on their skin type and conditions.
To lessen redness and swelling after the treatment, the skin is moisturised with a calming lotion or cooling gel. The specialist additionally offers advice on at-home skin care, such as using sunscreen and moisturisers, in order to facilitate prompt healing and lasting outcomes
Consultation with a specialist
Before starting the procedure we advise to have a consultation with our specialist, who will analyse your skin condition and determine the best locations for treatment.
Keep Your Skin Hydrated
Prior to the procedure, it’s critical to keep your skin well hydrated. Make sure you apply your usual moisturiser and stay hydrated.
Avoid Sun Exposure
For at least 2-4 weeks before the procedure, it is important to avoid both direct sun exposure and tanning (both natural and artificial). Skin that has been sunburned or tanned may be more susceptible to problems.
Stop Using Specific Skincare Products
At least a week before the treatment, stop using any products that contain acids (such as glycolic or salicylic acid), retinoids, or powerful exfoliants. These may increase the sensitivity of your skin to lasers.
Avoid Certain Medications
Unless directed by a physician, blood-thinning medications such as aspirin and anti-inflammatory drugs should be avoided a few days before the procedures.
Hydration
Use calming and moisturising cosmetics on the skin. This will improve the procedure’s effectiveness and help keep the moisture level of your skin.
Avoid clear heat treatments
Saunas, hot baths and other treatments that could result in skin overheating should be avoided for a 2 days after the procedure
Avoid the sun
Avoiding direct sun exposure and using sunscreen with SPF 30+ is crucial for at least 4-6 weeks after Laser Skin Resurfacing. Sun exposure during this time could lead to hyperpigmentation or skin damage while the skin is healing.
Steer clear of heat treatments
To prevent overheating of the skin, stay out of hot baths, saunas, hot tubs and physical activity for 48 hours following your treatment.
Do not apply make-up
After Laser Skin Resurfacing, patients should avoid wearing makeup for 3-5 days (depending on the intensity of the treatment) to allow the skin to heal properly.
Skin Peeling
After the procedure, it’s common for patients to experience skin peeling or flaking as the treated skin begins to heal and regenerate. This process is important for revealing fresh, smooth skin underneath. But avoiding picking, scratching or exfoliating the peeling areas, as doing so can cause irritation, infection or even scarring. Let the skin shed naturally to ensure optimal healing.
Cold Compresses
In the first 24-48 hours after the procedure, some swelling or discomfort may occur, especially in more sensitive areas. Applying cold compresses can help reduce inflammation and provide soothing relief. Be sure to use gentle pressure and avoid direct eye contact with the skin to prevent further irritation.
Healing Ointments
To promote faster healing and protect the treated skin, a specialist may recommend applying a healing ointment. This creates a protective barrier, helps lock in moisture, and prevents dryness or cracking. It is crucial to follow the practitioner’s instructions regarding the type of ointment and frequency of application to ensure smooth recovery and prevent infections.
