How laser skin resurfacing works
Laser skin resurfacing uses focused light energy to target damaged skin cells. The laser removes the outer layer of skin, promoting the growth of new, healthier skin. It also stimulates collagen production deep within the skin, improving its texture and elasticity. As the treated area heals, your skin becomes smoother, firmer, and more even in tone. Dr. O uses the Alma Harmony XL PRO system, which combines advanced technologies for precise, effective treatment. This results in youthful, refreshed skin with minimal downtime.

What should I expect during a laser skin resurfacing treatment?
Dr. O will begin by applying a cooling gel to the treatment area to help the laser penetrate the skin effectively. You’ll be given protective eye shields, as the laser light can be intense. The Alma Harmony XL PRO device will then deliver light pulses to the skin. You may feel a mild tingling or snapping sensation, similar to a rubber band. The treatment usually takes 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.
Laser skin resurfacing FAQs
How many treatments will I need?
The number of treatments you’ll need depends on the condition being treated and your skin type. Most people see noticeable improvements after 1-3 sessions, especially for concerns like fine lines, sun damage, or acne scars. However, more extensive issues may require additional treatments. During your consultation, Dr. O will assess your skin and recommend the appropriate treatment plan to achieve the best results.
What should I do before laser skin resurfacing?
Before your treatment, it’s important to avoid sun exposure for at least two weeks, as tanned skin can increase the risk of side effects. You should also stop using any retinoids or exfoliating products a few days before your session. Dr. O will give you specific instructions to follow before your treatment to ensure the best results and minimize any risks.
How long will it take to see results?
You may begin to see initial improvements in your skin within a few days, especially in terms of texture and overall radiance. However, the full effects of laser skin resurfacing typically become visible after a few weeks to months as collagen production increases and the skin continues to heal. Over time, your skin will appear smoother, firmer, and more even in tone.
Is there any downtime after laser skin resurfacing?
Most people experience minimal downtime after laser skin resurfacing. You may experience mild redness or swelling, similar to a mild sunburn, that usually resolves within a few hours to a few days. You can resume daily activities immediately, but avoid strenuous workouts and direct sun exposure and apply sunscreen to protect your skin while it heals.
