Most Laser Skin Resurfacing treatments produce long-lasting results when done as a complete series (typically 3–8 sessions, depending on the treatment). After the initial series, occasional maintenance sessions every 6–12 months keep results sustained. Your San Francisco provider will recommend a personalized maintenance schedule based on your response.
Most patients describe Laser Skin Resurfacing as a snapping or warm-rubber-band sensation with each pulse. Modern devices include built-in cooling that significantly reduces discomfort. Sensitive areas (upper lip, bikini line) feel more intense than larger areas like legs or back. Numbing cream is sometimes used for sensitive treatments.
Ablative lasers (like CO2 and Erbium) remove the outer layers of skin for dramatic results with longer downtime. Non-ablative lasers (like Fraxel) heat the deeper skin without removing the surface, so they need a series of sessions but involve much less recovery. Your provider will match the approach to your goals and tolerance for downtime.
Non-ablative treatments typically mean 1–3 days of redness and swelling. Ablative resurfacing can require 5–14 days of healing, with redness that fades over weeks. Plan ablative treatments around your schedule.
Many traditional resurfacing lasers carry a higher risk of pigment changes on medium to deep skin tones. Some devices and settings are safer for darker complexions, and alternatives like radiofrequency microneedling may be recommended. A consultation with an experienced provider is essential.
Numbing cream and sometimes local anesthesia keep discomfort manageable. You'll feel heat and a prickling sensation; deeper ablative treatments are more intense and may use stronger numbing.
Initial improvement appears once redness and peeling resolve. Because the treatment stimulates collagen, results continue improving for 3–6 months.
Results can last years, but they don't stop the aging process or new sun damage. Daily sunscreen and good skincare protect your investment, and periodic maintenance keeps skin looking its best.
