Sun exposure is one of the most common causes of premature skin aging. Over time, ultraviolet radiation breaks down collagen, leading to fine lines, discoloration, and rough texture. Laser skin resurfacing has become one of the most effective ways to restore a smoother, more even complexion. At Ladner Facial Plastic Surgery in Denver and Beverly Hills, Dr. Keith Ladner and our team of nurse aestheticians use advanced laser technology to help you achieve noticeable skin renewal while maintaining a natural, healthy glow.
How Laser Resurfacing Works
Laser skin resurfacing delivers precise, controlled energy into your skin’s surface to remove damaged outer layers and stimulate collagen production beneath. This process encourages your body’s natural healing response, replacing dull, sun-damaged cells with new, healthy tissue.
Treatment can address multiple concerns at once, including fine lines, sunspots, acne scars, and uneven pigmentation. Our team tailors every procedure to the individual, adjusting intensity and depth to match the patient’s skin type and desired results.
Benefits of Treating Sun Damage With Laser Resurfacing
The effects of sun exposure often develop gradually, making them difficult to correct with topical products alone. Laser resurfacing offers a comprehensive solution by targeting the underlying damage responsible for visible aging. You can typically expect reduced age spots, improved tone, and a smoother skin surface. Because the treatment encourages collagen remodeling, results continue to improve over several months, leading to firmer, more youthful-looking skin.
What to Expect From the Procedure
Laser resurfacing treatments are typically performed in-office using a topical anesthetic to ensure comfort. The procedure may take 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the treatment area and depth. Afterward, you may experience mild redness and swelling similar to a sunburn, which resolves gradually as your skin heals and new tissue forms. Our experts provide detailed post-treatment care instructions to support proper recovery and minimize downtime.
Maintaining Results and Protecting Your Skin
To prolong results and prevent new damage, consistent sun protection is essential. Wearing daily sunscreen, avoiding peak sun hours, and maintaining a professional skincare routine can help preserve the improvements achieved with laser resurfacing. You may schedule maintenance sessions or pair your treatment with other nonsurgical options, such as injectables or chemical peels, for enhanced rejuvenation.
