How Does Skin Resurfacing Work?

This procedure removes the outer layer of the skin to stimulate the production of new skin cells and collagen. Methods include laser resurfacing, dermabrasion or chemical peels. In each method, the topmost layer of the skin, which is often damaged or aged, is removed, triggering the body’s natural healing process. This leads to the generation of fresh, new skin cells and an increase in collagen production, a protein vital for maintaining the skin’s elasticity and firmness. Over time, this results in smoother, healthier and younger-looking skin.

Specific regions of the face can be resurfaced in 30 to 45 minutes, while the entire face takes about two hours.

What Happens After Treatment?

Recovery from skin resurfacing treatment varies depending on which procedure was used. Mild treatments may require just a few days of downtime, while more intense procedures may necessitate a few weeks for complete healing. Post-treatment, the skin usually undergoes a healing process where it may peel or flake off, revealing the new, refreshed layer underneath. It’s normal to experience temporary redness, swelling or sensitivity.

During recovery, it’s crucial to protect the skin from sun exposure and adhere to a prescribed skincare regimen to ensure optimal results. Providers at ENT NOW – Des Peres will guide you through this process and help you make the most of your procedure’s results.
