Does Laser Skin Resurfacing hurt?
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.
Can I get Laser Skin Resurfacing if I have darker skin?
Yes, but the specific device matters significantly. Older lasers had higher risk of pigment changes on medium-to-deep skin tones. Modern lasers like the Nd:YAG safely and effectively treat darker complexions. Ask your Santa Cruz provider which device they'll use and whether they have experience treating your specific skin type.
What's the difference between ablative and non-ablative lasers?
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.
How much downtime should I expect?
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.
Is laser resurfacing safe for all skin tones?
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.
Does it hurt?
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.
When will I see results?
Initial improvement appears once redness and peeling resolve. Because the treatment stimulates collagen, results continue improving for 3–6 months.
How long do results last?
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.
