How Long Is Recovery After Laser Skin Resurfacing?

October 13, 2015

Laser resurfacing is a non-surgical skin rejuvenation technique designed to address a wide array of cosmetic concerns. At our practice, Dr. Louis P. Bucky offers an advanced laser peel that can often be employed to improve the appearance of lines and wrinkles, brown spots and sun damage, hyperpigmentation, uneven skin texture, and acne scarring. In addition, this advanced laser skin resurfacing method can often tighten the skin, ultimately helping to achieve smoother skin and a more youthful-looking, even complexion.

Generally performed as an outpatient procedure, patients are typically able to return home and/or resume normal daily activities soon after their treatment. Don’t be alarmed if some redness or irritation in the targeted areas present initially, as these transient side effects dissipate over time. Most individuals are completely healed within seven to ten days, upon when makeup can now be applied.

Lasers are extremely versatile and Dr. Bucky offers a variety of other laser rejuvenation treatments that can provide exceptional results with little to no recovery or downtime to treat a multitude of skin concerns from sun damage to acne to scars.
