Reveal Your Best Skin Yet
Laser skin resurfacing is a non-invasive treatment that uses a laser to remove the outer layers of damaged skin, revealing smoother, healthier-looking skin underneath. This procedure can effectively reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, scars, and sun damage and improve skin texture and tone. We use the Sciton JOULE platform, which delivers precise and controlled laser energy to the treatment area, resulting in minimal discomfort and downtime.
Laser Skin Resurfacing Corrects:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Sun damage and age spots
- Acne scars and other types of scars
- Uneven skin tone and texture
- Hyperpigmentation and melasma
- Enlarged pores
- Dull, tired-looking skin
- Stretch marks (in some cases)
The Science Behind Laser Skin Resurfacing
We offer ProFractional laser resurfacing in San Diego that uses a high-energy laser to precisely remove the outer layers of damaged skin. This stimulates the production of new collagen, a protein that helps maintain the skin’s structure and elasticity. As the new collagen forms, it smooths out wrinkles, fine lines, and other imperfections on the skin’s surface. Additionally, the heat from the laser energy can break up unwanted pigmentation, like age spots or sun damage, helping you achieve a smooth and radiant complexion.

Preparation
To prepare for your laser skin resurfacing in San Diego, you should avoid direct sun exposure and tanning beds for at least two weeks before the procedure. You should also stop using retinoids and other exfoliating products a few days before the treatment. Make sure your skin is clean and free of any makeup or lotions on the day of your appointment.
Treatment
During laser skin resurfacing, our expert medical professionals will begin by thoroughly cleaning your skin. We will apply a topical numbing cream to ensure your comfort during the treatment. Using the Sciton JOULE platform, we will deliver precise laser energy to your skin. The session length will depend on the size and number of areas being treated.
Side Effects
After laser skin resurfacing, you may experience some redness, swelling, and minor discomfort. These side effects are normal and typically subside within a few days. You may also experience some peeling and flaking as your skin heals. Our medical professionals will provide you with aftercare instructions to minimize any side effects and ensure a smooth recovery.
Recovery
After laser skin resurfacing, you can expect a few days of downtime and recovery. You may experience redness, swelling, and minor discomfort for the first few days. Your skin will also peel and flake as it heals. You should avoid direct sun exposure and use broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect your skin during the healing process.
Results
After laser skin resurfacing at South Coast MedSpa, you can expect to see results within a few days. Your skin will improve over the following weeks as new collagen is produced. Results can last for several years with proper skincare and sun protection.
Frequency
The number of laser skin resurfacing treatments you need depends on your skin concerns and goals. Most patients achieve optimal results with one to three treatments spaced several weeks apart. Follow-up treatments of ProFractional laser resurfacing in San Diego may be recommended to maintain results and address new skin concerns as they occur.
Laser Skin Resurfacing FAQs
