WHAT IS LASER SKIN RESURFACING?
Laser skin resurfacing at Beauty Medica involves a noninvasive cosmetic treatment using pulsating beams of energy to remove dead and damaged skin layers gradually. This procedure effectively addresses facial wrinkles, lines, and skin irregularities such as pigmentation and acne scars. The Alma Opus machine, utilized for this treatment, administers fractional skin resurfacing, commonly known as a laser peel. Tailored adjustments are made based on individual skin conditions and types. While downtime is associated with most laser skin resurfacing treatments, any concerns or queries can be addressed with our Houston, TX team during your assessment and consultation.

HOW DOES LASER SKIN RESURFACING WORK?
Ideal for addressing sun-damaged skin, age spots, acne scars, wrinkles, pigmentation, or redness, laser skin resurfacing begins with preparation using a retinoid cream for enhanced results. During the procedure, you’ll experience the Opus laser gliding over your skin, targeting designated areas for resurfacing. The laser eliminates damaged skin cells and stimulates collagen production. Depending on the intensity of the treatment, recovery may vary from immediate to several weeks, during which the skin will naturally rejuvenate.
