What to Expect on the Day of Laser Skin Resurfacing

On the day of your session, you will be warmly welcomed into our world-class facility and placed in a comfortable, well-equipped suite. We will first thoroughly cleanse your skin and apply a topical numbing solution to help you feel more at ease and relaxed. During your appointment, the cutting-edge laser device is passed over the skin with highly controlled, precise pulses.

With non-ablative treatments, patients often feel a sensation of warmth as the laser energy penetrates the dermis. With an ablative approach, patients may encounter a sensation of heat or mild tenderness as the outer skin layers are targeted. You can expect your appointment to last 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the targeted areas.

Laser Skin Resurfacing Recovery

After laser skin resurfacing in NYC, you can expect a smooth, seamless recovery process, provided that you follow all of Dr. Anolik’s instructions and attend all scheduled follow-up sessions. Non-ablative procedures come with minimal downtime and side effects, such as minor redness and swelling, which typically last 24 to 72 hours. You will be able to resume normal activities quickly after your appointment.

With ablative procedures, the recovery process may be more involved, sometimes ranging from 7 to 10 days. During this time, you may experience mild redness, swelling, flaking, and sensitivity to sunlight. Be sure to use gentle skincare products, and always wear sunblock whenever outdoors. Regardless of the treatment type you pursue, laser skin resurfacing will enhance collagen production over time, firming the skin from the inside out in the coming weeks and months.
