Skin resurfacing is a facial rejuvenation procedure that uses either an ablative or non-ablative laser to remove skin imperfections and treat minor flaws. Ablative skin resurfacing removes the thin outer layer of the skin and heats the underlying skin to stimulate collagen growth. Non-ablative lasers are not as aggressive but still stimulate collagen growth and have a shorter recovery time. These are called fractional lasers and can treat fine lines, wrinkles, rosacea, spider veins, and skin discoloration.
We offer the following types of skin resurfacing:
These laser skin resurfacing treatments can help improve myriad skin issues such as fine lines and wrinkles, spider veins, rosacea, large pores, and skin discoloration. They were designed to shorten recovery time and lessen the risk of side effects.
Skin resurfacing using one of our laser methods is a non-invasive, quick way to treat multiple skin conditions.
It can reduce fine lines and wrinkles, treat brown spots or other types of discoloration, improve acne scarring as well as scars from surgery or trauma, reduce the size of enlarged pores, and reduce the appearance of veins in the face. In addition, there is very little recovery time associated with these procedures, and no anesthetic is required.
Skin resurfacing is a fantastic option for anyone looking to improve skin tone and texture to reduce the appearance of rosacea, minimize large pores, or eliminate spider veins. Whether seeking a more even complexion or refreshing your skin’s appearance, this treatment is a great choice for many.
Most people are great candidates for skin resurfacing.

The skin resurfacing procedure is relatively easy and painless. During laser resurfacing, a beam of intense light energy is applied to your skin. The laser destroys the outer layer of skin while heating the inner layers to stimulate collagen growth, which results in better skin tone and fewer scars and skin flaws.
You will begin to see results from your skin resurfacing within two to three weeks when your skin has healed completely from the procedure. Compared to other skin treatments, such as chemical peels, which treat similar issues, two to three weeks is a relatively short recovery time with better results and less skin sloughing and pain.
Because the lower skin layer is less affected by sun spots, removing a thin outer layer of skin and encouraging new skin growth can help greatly. This treatment also stimulates collagen, the most abundant protein in your skin. Your skin will show fewer wrinkles and fine lines, laxity, acne scars, and other imperfections. We are confident you will be excited about your skin resurfacing results.
Because new skin cells are being developed in the inner layers of the skin after the skin resurfacing procedure, it is important to protect your skin from sun, dehydration, and pollutants. To achieve optimal results, follow all the aftercare instructions we provide at the time of treatment. Keeping your skin moist and protecting it from the sun’s rays by using sunscreen are two of the most important aftercare instructions we will provide. Avoid using products with Retinol, as this can damage the skin further and impede healing.
You may be an ideal candidate for laser skin resurfacing if you have fine lines or wrinkles around the eyes, forehead or mouth, scars from acne or non-responsive skin after a facelift. If you have active acne or very dark skin, you are not a candidate for this procedure. This technique is also not recommended for stretch marks.
Some skin tones do not respond well to laser skin resurfacing but do respond to other resurfacing options we offer, such as RF Microneedling, which are better for patients of African, Hispanic, or Asian heritage. Our aesthetic professionals will discuss all these options with you at your consultation.
While you may be tempted by coupons and package deals offered by some skin care providers, our highly trained staff at The Aesthetic Plan is specifically trained to provide the most excellent care possible. It is important to pick a provider who has experience and qualifications, and at Fisher, we have both.
The potential adverse reactions from laser skin resurfacing include burns, skin discoloration, bruising, scabbing, itching, and infections.
After treatment with the Excel VL Plus laser, please avoid hot showers, saunas, excessive sweating, and hot tubs for 72 hours. Additionally, judicious use of sunscreen will protect your skin from harmful UV rays.
Yes, this laser treats all of the above and more.
