What Is Laser Skin Resurfacing?

Laser skin resurfacing is a minimally invasive procedure that uses concentrated beams of light energy to remove or remodel damaged layers of skin. By gently resurfacing the outermost layers and stimulating collagen renewal within, this treatment helps correct:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Acne scars and surgical scars
  • Uneven skin tone and texture
  • Sun damage and age spots
  • Enlarged pores and dullness

The result: smoother, brighter, and younger-looking skin that continues to improve over time.

Because no single laser skin resurfacing treatment fits every need, Hilton Dermatology + Aesthetics offers multiple resurfacing options—each chosen by our dermatologists to deliver the safest, most effective outcome for your skin.

Our Laser Skin Resurfacing Options

At Hilton Dermatology, we use several advanced laser skin resurfacing technologies to address different depths of damage and skin types.

Fraxel® Dual Laser Resurfacing

Fraxel Dual uses fractional laser technology to treat thousands of microscopic zones within the skin without affecting surrounding tissue. This approach triggers collagen regeneration while minimizing downtime.

Best for:

  • Fine lines and mild wrinkles
  • Pigmentation and sun damage
  • Acne scarring
  • Overall skin tone and texture improvement

Fraxel is ideal for patients seeking noticeable rejuvenation with minimal disruption to daily life.

CO₂ Laser Resurfacing

CO (carbon dioxide) lasers are the gold standard for deeper resurfacing and more dramatic results. They remove layers of damaged skin and tighten collagen fibers simultaneously, improving both surface texture and firmness.

Best for:

  • Deep wrinkles and etched lines
  • Significant sun damage or uneven tone
  • Acne and surgical scars
  • Overall facial tightening

CO resurfacing typically involves a longer recovery time but delivers transformative, long- lasting improvement for advanced signs of aging.

Erbium Laser Resurfacing

Erbium:YAG lasers target water molecules in the skin for precise, gentle ablation with less thermal heat than CO lasers. This makes them excellent for lighter resurfacing or for patients with sensitive skin tones.

Best for:

  • Fine lines and superficial wrinkles
  • Mild texture irregularities
  • Patients seeking faster recovery

Erbium resurfacing provides smoother, refreshed skin with minimal downtime and lower risk of pigmentation changes.

Beyond Lasers: Microneedling & Fractional Skin Resurfacing Alternatives

Not all skin resurfacing requires traditional lasers. Microneedling treatments, such as SkinPen® or Morpheus8, use tiny controlled micro-injuries or radiofrequency-assisted channels to stimulate collagen and elastin production. Best for:

  • Acne scars and uneven texture
  • Early signs of aging
  • Patients who prefer non-laser resurfacing options
These treatments can be performed alone or as maintenance after laser skin resurfacing to enhance long-term collagen remodeling and skin renewal.

How Laser Skin Resurfacing Works

Laser energy precisely removes microscopic layers of damaged skin while stimulating the body’s natural healing response. As the skin regenerates, new collagen and elastin fibers form—creating firmer, smoother, and more radiant skin.

Depending on the laser skin resurfacing technology used, resurfacing may be ablative (removing thin layers of skin) or non-ablative (heating deep tissue without removal). Both stimulate renewal, but ablative lasers offer more dramatic results, while non-ablative approaches provide gradual improvement with minimal downtime.

Our dermatologists carefully select the laser skin resurfacing method best suited to your unique skin tone, concerns, and recovery preferences.

What to Expect During and After Laser Skin Resurfacing Treatment

  • During Laser Skin Resurfacing Treatment Your dermatologist will apply a topical anesthetic for comfort before performing the laser skin resurfacing procedure. Treatment time varies from 20 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the area and the laser skin resurfacing technology used.
    You may feel mild warmth or a “tingling” sensation as the energy penetrates your skin. Our devices include cooling systems to ensure your comfort throughout the session.
  • After Laser Skin Resurfacing Treatment Following your laser skin resurfacing session, redness and mild swelling are normal and typically subside within a few days. For deeper laser skin resurfacing, recovery may take 5– 10 days as the skin renews.
    As your skin heals, you’ll notice improved tone and texture, with continued collagen remodeling over the next several months. We’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions and a customized skincare plan to protect and maintain your laser skin resurfacing results.
