Non-ablative Laser Resurfacing
What is Non-ablative Laser Resurfacing?
Non-ablative, fractional lasers deliver heat under the skin’s surface, without damaging the surface of the skin. Tiny columnar, microbeams penetrate into the dermis to eliminate old, pigmented tissue and tighten the skin from within. It is a non-invasive, quick solution for old scars, wrinkles, and other textural issues.
How does it Work?
Collagen and elastin make up the support structure in our skin. After age 30, we lose 1% or more of our collagen each year due to the natural aging process alone; this does not factor in sun damage and other lifestyle factors. Laser revitalization treatment uses powerful laser technology to refresh the skin by stimulating collagen and elastin production. It works fast to minimize wrinkles and improve the appearance of the skin on various areas of your body, such as your neck, cheeks, hands, arms, and smooth away smokers’ lines around your mouth.
What to Expect
Unlike surgical face-lifts that require long recovery times, laser treatment is an alternative with less downtime, allowing you to recover in a few days with minimal discomfort or side effects.
Just one laser treatment can diminish the deepest lines — without surgery, with minimal downtime, and with long-lasting results.
Laser Revitalization for:
• wrinkles around the eyes (periorbital wrinkles)
• crow’s feet
• wrinkles around the mouth (perioral wrinkles)
• frown lines
• lipstick lines
• smokers’ lines
• facial wrinkles
Other areas of the body, such as hands, arms, and décolletage may also be treated.
FAQ
How does it work?
Pulses of laser light reach deeply into the skin’s sub-layers, treating the aging support structure. Then the body’s natural healing process sweeps away older, damaged tissue and rebuilds it with fresh, new collagen and elastin—the crucial building blocks of smooth, youthful skin.

If you have fine lines and wrinkles around your eyes, mouth, on any area of your body including face, hands, and arms you may be a good candidate for a laser revitalization treatment.
