Rejuvenate, Refresh, and Restore Your Skin

Over time, our skin reflects the story of our lives — from sun exposure and stress to environmental damage and the natural aging process. Fine lines, discoloration, acne scars, and uneven texture can become more noticeable as collagen production slows down. Fortunately, advanced laser skin resurfacing treatments can help reverse these visible signs of aging and reveal a smoother, more radiant complexion.

At the CENTER for Advanced Facial Plastic Surgery, Dr. Babak Azizzadeh, a Harvard-trained and globally recognized facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon, offers customized laser resurfacing treatments designed to safely rejuvenate and tighten the skin for natural, youthful-looking results.

How Does Laser Skin Resurfacing Work?

Laser skin resurfacing uses precise, targeted beams of light to:

  • Remove the outer layer of damaged skin on the face and neck. 
  • Stimulate collagen growth, improving skin elasticity and firmness. 
  • Smooth and refine uneven texture for a clearer, more radiant glow. 

Dr. Azizzadeh tailors each laser treatment based on skin tone, texture, and specific concerns — ensuring the safest and most effective approach for every patient.

What Skin Concerns Can Laser Resurfacing Improve?

This treatment can dramatically reduce the appearance of:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles 
  • Acne scars or surgical scars 
  • Sun damage and dark spots 
  • Uneven pigmentation (including melasma) 
  • Enlarged pores 
  • Rough or dull skin texture 

NOTE: While laser resurfacing is excellent for rejuvenating skin and improving tone, some patients may benefit more from other complementary procedures, such as chemical peels or microneedling, depending on their skin type and desired results. During your consultation, Dr. Azizzadeh will recommend the most appropriate option for you.

Laser Skin Resurfacing vs. Microneedling: Which Is Better?

What to Expect During Laser Skin Resurfacing

Your comfort and safety are top priorities.
 Here’s what happens during a typical session:

  1. A topical anesthetic is applied to the treatment area. 
  2. The skin is cleansed to remove oils and debris. 
  3. Dr. Azizzadeh carefully moves the laser device across the skin, targeting damaged areas while preserving surrounding tissue. 

Each treatment typically lasts up to two hours, depending on the area being treated.

Recovery and Results

After treatment, you can expect mild redness, swelling, or peeling — this is part of your skin’s natural healing process. Most patients experience downtime of about 7–10 days, with noticeable improvements appearing as new, healthy skin forms.

Over the following weeks, your complexion continues to improve as collagen rebuilds. Full results are typically visible within 3–6 months and can last up to five years with proper skincare and sun protection.

Pro Tip: Always apply broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) after treatment to protect your renewed skin and extend your results.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Laser Skin Resurfacing?

Laser resurfacing may be right for you if you want to improve skin tone, texture, or fine lines.
 However, it may not be recommended for individuals with:

  • Deep wrinkles or severe sagging 
  • Active acne breakouts 
  • Very dark skin tones (where pigmentation risks are higher) 
  • Certain medical conditions affecting skin healing 

Dr. Azizzadeh performs a thorough skin evaluation before any treatment to determine whether laser resurfacing or another rejuvenation approach — such as RF microneedling, chemical peels, or non-surgical facelifts — best fits your skin type and goals.

Laser Skin Resurfacing Results and Longevity

Results from laser resurfacing can last several years, especially with a consistent skincare routine and professional maintenance treatments. Patients often notice:

  • Softer, smoother skin 
  • More even tone 
  • Minimized lines and wrinkles 
  • A refreshed, youthful appearance 

Many patients choose to combine laser treatments with other non-surgical procedures, such as Botox, fillers, or facial rejuvenation treatments, for enhanced and longer-lasting results.

Is Laser Skin Resurfacing Right for You?

Every patient’s skin is unique — and so is their treatment plan.
 During your consultation, Dr. Azizzadeh will:

  • Review your medical history and skin goals 
  • Assess your skin condition and facial features 
  • Recommend whether laser resurfacing or another rejuvenation option is right for you
