Laser Skin Resurfacing Directory

Laser skin resurfacing is a cosmetic procedure that uses pulsating beams of light to remove damaged or problematic skin surface layers. Laser resurfacing is also called lasabrasion, laser peel, or laser vaporization. Good for acne scars, wrinkles, and fine lines (but not for stretch marks), laser resurfacing takes anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours; recovery can last from 10-21 days.
