What is Laser Skin Resurfacing?

Ultherapy is an FDA-approved, non-invasive treatment that uses micro-focused ultrasound energy to lift, firm, and rejuvenate the skin. The Ultherapy procedure is ideal for the face, neck, and décolletage, using ultrasound technology to stimulate your body's own collagen production and elastin regeneration.

Cleared by the FDA, Ultherapy is often referred to as a non-surgical facelift, making it a popular option for those seeking real results with no downtime.

How Laser Skin Resurfacing Works

Laser Skin Resurfacing is a cutting-edge dermatology-based cosmetic procedure designed to enhance skin appearance by removing the outer layer of damaged skin (epidermis) and stimulating collagen in the underlying dermis. Using ablative and non-ablative laser technologies, including CO2 laser and fractional laser systems, the skin resurfacing treatment promotes healing and the growth of new skin cells.

This procedure is effective for reducing fine lines, acne scars, age spots, and hyperpigmentation, providing smoother, tighter, and clearer skin.

  • Stimulates collagen production: Boosts natural regeneration for firmer, more youthful skin.

Our Lasers for Laser Skin Resurfacing

We utilize two advanced types of laser technology to perform our skin resurfacing procedures:

AcuPulse 

A CO2 laser system from Lumenis that offers fractional ablative treatment, ideal for addressing deep wrinkles, age spots, acne scars, and damaged skin. It uses carbon dioxide to vaporize skin tissue and stimulate collagen regeneration with excellent precision.

Cutera Xeo 

A versatile platform that includes non-ablative laser and intense pulsed light (IPL) options for treating pigmentation, redness, and uneven skin texture. It offers advanced customization for various skin tones and skin types, providing a gentle yet effective solution with shorter recovery time.

What to Expect During Your Laser Skin Resurfacing Treatment

During your first visit to our St. Petersburg spa, we conduct a thorough assessment of your skin's surface, pigment, and underlying concerns. We review your medical history and identify any contraindications such as herpes or active lesions. Based on your skin type and treatment area, we develop a personalized plan and discuss preparation steps, expected results, and potential side effects. This ensures a safe and effective experience tailored to your goals.

Preparation

  • Avoid sun exposure and tanning beds for at least two weeks
  • Discontinue retinoids and exfoliating products 5–7 days prior
  • Stay hydrated and follow a gentle skin care regimen
  • Avoid aspirin and certain supplements that can thin the blood
  • Discuss antiviral medications if prone to cold sores or herpes
  • Schedule away from major events to allow adequate healing time

Your Procedure

When you arrive at Indulgence Medical Day Spa in St. Petersburg, our staff will welcome you and prepare the treatment area. The skin is cleansed and a topical anesthetic may be applied for comfort. During the laser treatment, you may feel a warm sensation or mild tingling as the device delivers targeted light energy to the treated area. The length of the session depends on the size of the treatment area and the type of laser used, typically lasting 30 to 90 minutes.

Our skilled practitioners ensure your safety and comfort throughout the procedure, using cooling techniques and advanced equipment to protect surrounding tissue and optimize results.

Risks and Side Effects

Laser Skin Resurfacing may cause temporary redness, warmth, or mild swelling as the skin heals. Some guests may also notice light flaking or dryness as the skin renews.

These effects are normal and typically improve over several days to one week depending on the depth of treatment. Most people are able to return to daily activities after a short recovery period while following the recommended aftercare and avoiding direct sun exposure.

Ideal Candidates

You may be a good candidate if you wish to improve:

  • Facial wrinkles and fine lines
  • Sun-damaged or hyperpigmented skin
  • Acne scars and blemishes
  • Uneven skin texture and tone
  • Lesions, birthmarks, or pigmentation irregularities

Laser resurfacing is not recommended for individuals with active acne, recent herpes outbreaks, or certain skin conditions. Those who are pregnant or breastfeeding should also postpone treatment. A consultation is required to determine eligibility and avoid complications like hypopigmentation or post-treatment infection.

How Long Do Laser Skin Resurfacing Results Last?

Results from laser skin resurfacing can last from one to five years, depending on your skin care habits, age, and skin condition. Consistent use of sunscreen, a healthy lifestyle, and maintenance treatments extend the benefits. The production of new collagen and improved skin tone can continue for months after the procedure. Our team in St. Petersburg will develop a follow-up plan to help you maintain your results.

How Laser Skin Resurfacing Compares to Other Options

When compared to chemical peels and microdermabrasion, laser skin resurfacing provides greater precision, deeper collagen stimulation, and more dramatic, longer-lasting results. Unlike a chemical peel, which only affects the skin's surface, laser procedures can penetrate deeper layers of skin for significant improvement. Compared to cosmetic surgery or a surgical facelift, laser resurfacing is a nonsurgical alternative with reduced downtime and fewer risks. While the healing process may vary depending on the type of laser and treated area, the benefits are substantial.

Before And After

Immediately after your laser skin resurfacing session, the treated area may appear red, swollen, and warm—similar to a sunburn. This typically resolves within several days to a week, depending on whether an ablative or non-ablative laser was used. Crusting or peeling may occur as damaged skin sheds and new skin forms. Optimal results develop over several weeks as collagen builds and skin tone improves. Multiple sessions may be recommended for full skin rejuvenation.
