Is laser resurfacing right for me?

To determine if laser resurfacing is right for your personalized needs, your Dr. Malouf Dermatology specialist reviews your medical history, examines your skin in areas that bother you, and creates a personalized treatment plan.

They let you know what to expect during the procedure. There’s no special preparation needed to undergo laser resurfacing, but it’s important to always protect your skin from the sun.

What happens during laser resurfacing?

During laser resurfacing, your Dr. Malouf Dermatology provider cleans and numbs the treatment area to maximize your comfort. They provide special glasses to protect your eyes. Your provider then uses a hand-held device that emits laser energy into areas of your body containing the skin imperfections.

Each treatment lasts 30 minutes or longer, depending on the number and size of the treatment areas. Each patient has unique needs.

What should I expect after laser resurfacing?

After laser resurfacing, the treated skin can appear red, swollen, or tender. Apply nourishing serums to treated skin if your specialist asks you to. Don’t rub the treatment area and avoid unprotected sun exposure.

Repeat laser resurfacing treatments spaced over time offer outstanding results. Your Dr. Malouf Dermatology specialist lets you know when to return for your next treatment.
