Laser resurfacing uses focused light energy to remove damaged outer skin layers and stimulate collagen in the layers beneath. As the skin heals, it rebuilds smoother, firmer, and more even. Treatments range from gentle sessions with minimal downtime to deeper resurfacing that delivers dramatic renewal in a single treatment.
Laser treatment addresses:
Skin type and tone guide which laser settings are safe and effective for you. This is precisely why an expert assessment matters before any energy touches your face.
Your consultation starts with an honest evaluation of your skin's needs and your tolerance for downtime. Lighter fractional treatments refresh with a few days of redness. Deeper resurfacing trades about a week of social downtime for years of visible improvement. Dr. Goel often pairs resurfacing with facelift or eyelid surgery, since surgery repositions tissue while the laser renews its surface.
Light treatments: redness for a few days, makeup soon after. Deeper treatments: about a week of healing, followed by weeks of progressive glow as collagen rebuilds. Results continue improving for months, and diligent sunscreen protects the investment.
Energy devices reward judgment. Dr. Goel, a Keck School of Medicine graduate and former Chief Resident at UC Irvine, selects settings conservatively and escalates only as your skin proves what it tolerates.
Lighter treatments often work in a series of two to three. Deeper resurfacing frequently delivers its result in one. Your plan depends on your goals and downtime budget.
Topical numbing keeps lighter treatments very tolerable. Deeper treatments use stronger comfort measures, discussed in advance.
Many lasers now treat a wide range of skin tones safely, but settings must be chosen carefully. That assessment happens before anything is scheduled.
