What is laser resurfacing?

Laser resurfacing is a revolutionary treatment available at the Vein Specialists Institute in La Quinta and Palm Desert, designed to rejuvenate your skin by using light energy to remove the uppermost layer of damaged skin. This advanced technique employs pinpoint laser light to eliminate tiny columns of old skin, minimizing damage and ensuring a comfortable experience.

By penetrating into the dermis, laser skin resurfacing not only removes old skin but also stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin—two essential proteins that maintain skin tightness, elasticity, and volume. This process provides a fresh start for your skin, helping you achieve a more rejuvenated, rested, and youthful appearance.

What skin concerns does laser resurfacing treat?

Laser skin resurfacing is an aesthetic treatment that can address many different skin issues simultaneously. These include:

  • Fine lines
  • Facial folds
  • Skin laxity in the face and neck
  • Enlarged pores
  • Superficial acne scarring
  • Rough skin texture
  • Dark spots, like age spots

At the Vein Specialists Institute has a wide spectrum of laser treatment options as well as other innovative non-laser treatment approaches like intense pulsed light (IPL). IPL uses powerful pulses of light to address surface skin issues like age spots, spider veins, and rosacea. It also works in the dermis to stimulate new collagen and elastin growth.

Some people combine laser resurfacing treatments and IPL, or they schedule them on separate visits to fully treat all of their skin concerns. The Vein Specialists Institute team can evaluate your skin, determine whether you’re a good candidate, and recommend a personalized treatment plan to help you reach your goals.

Am I a good candidate for laser skin resurfacing?

If you’re unhappy with the appearance of your skin or experiencing signs of aging such as eyelid sagging, smile lines, or general facial laxity, you may be a suitable candidate for laser skin resurfacing. This treatment effectively targets both surface-level concerns and deeper issues causing facial aging, offering significant results without the need for surgery or extensive downtime. While most patients may experience mild pinkness post-treatment, they can generally resume their regular activities right away.
