What Is Laser Skin Resurfacing?

Laser skin resurfacing uses fractional non-ablative technology to deliver precise pulses of laser energy into the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production and triggering your body’s natural healing response. Unlike ablative lasers that remove the skin surface, fractional technology treats microscopic columns of tissue while leaving surrounding skin intact — resulting in faster healing and less downtime.

At Dr. Avaliani’s practice, every skin resurfacing session begins with topical numbing cream applied 30–45 minutes before treatment. The laser handpiece delivers controlled energy in a specific pattern, creating microscopic treatment zones that stimulate deep collagen remodeling. Cryo air cooling provides additional comfort throughout the procedure.

How Laser Skin Resurfacing Works

The skin resurfacing procedure follows a proven, comfortable protocol:

Dr. Avaliani evaluates your skin concerns, type, and goals to select the optimal laser platform and settings for your treatment

Topical numbing cream is applied for 30–45 minutes, then the fractional laser delivers precise energy pulses into the deeper skin layers

The laser creates microscopic treatment zones that trigger your body’s natural collagen production and cellular renewal process

New collagen forms over weeks, replacing damaged tissue with fresh, healthy skin that is smoother, more even, and more youthful

Over 4 sessions spaced monthly, skin texture, tone, and clarity progressively improve with each treatment

Skin Concerns We Treat

Fine Lines & Wrinkles

Fine lines and wrinkles caused by aging, sun damage, and collagen loss. Fractional laser energy stimulates deep collagen remodeling, gradually smoothing lines and restoring a more youthful skin texture from forehead to décolletage.

Sun Damage & Spots

Sun spots, age spots, and photoaging damage that creates uneven, dull skin. Laser resurfacing breaks down pigmented lesions and stimulates fresh skin cell turnover, revealing a clearer, more even complexion beneath.

Acne Scars

Depressed acne scars (ice pick, boxcar, rolling) and textural irregularity from past breakouts. Fractional laser stimulates collagen filling in depressed scars while smoothing overall skin texture for a more refined complexion.

Melasma

Hormonal pigmentation that creates brown or grey-brown patches on the face. Gentle fractional laser settings can gradually improve melasma appearance while minimizing the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Dull Skin & Texture

Overall dull, rough, or uneven skin texture caused by aging, environmental exposure, and decreased cell turnover. Laser resurfacing accelerates skin renewal, revealing fresher, more luminous skin with improved smoothness.

Surgical & Stretch Mark Scars

Surgical scars (at least 6 months old) and stretch marks that affect skin appearance. Fractional laser energy stimulates collagen remodeling within scar tissue, gradually softening, flattening, and blending scars with surrounding skin.

Our Skin Resurfacing Technologies

Dr. Avaliani offers multiple advanced laser platforms for skin resurfacing. Here’s what makes her approach exceptional:

Icon® 1540 Fractional Laser
The Icon 1540 uses non-ablative fractional technology to deliver high-energy pulses deep into the skin while protecting the surface. Treats fine lines, sun damage, acne scars, melasma, and stretch marks. Safe for Fitzpatrick skin types 1–4 with minimal downtime. A complete course is typically 4 sessions.
UltraClear® Laser
A cold fiber laser that delivers precision resurfacing with tunable depth control. UltraClear offers three treatment modes from light renewal to deep resurfacing, allowing Dr. Avaliani to customize the intensity based on your concerns and acceptable downtime.
PicoSure® Focus
A picosecond laser that delivers ultra-short energy pulses to stimulate collagen and elastin remodeling without heat. PicoSure Focus is safe for ALL skin types including darker tones, requires zero downtime, and is ideal for patients who want resurfacing without any visible recovery.

Does It Hurt?

Your Comfort Options (We Tailor This to You)

Topical numbing cream is applied 30–45 minutes before the procedure for complete comfort. During treatment, cryo air cooling further reduces any sensation. Most patients describe the feeling as mild warmth or light tingling. The Vibrata tool is available to further decrease sensation.

Each session takes approximately 30 minutes. You can resume normal activities the same day, though mild redness and swelling may last 2–3 days. Pro-Nox (nitrous oxide) is available for patients who prefer additional relaxation. Results improve progressively with each session as new collagen forms.

Feel Calm. Stay in Control. Look Amazing.

Reduced Anxiety

Settle into a calm, relaxed state before and during your treatment — no stress, no tension.

Less Discomfort

Enhanced comfort for your treatment, so you can focus on your results.

No Downtime

Walk out feeling great and drive yourself home — absolutely no recovery time required.

PRO-NOX

Nitrous Oxide

Available On Request

For patients who prefer an extra layer of relaxation, Pro‑Nox™ provides a gentle, calming effect that wears off instantly. Most patients find their treatments very manageable — but it’s always here if you want it.
