What is Skin Resurfacing?
A cosmetic, non-surgical process through which damaged, outer skin layers are removed in order to encourage the development of collagen to bring about healthy skin texture and a smoother look in the face of the client. Advanced laser technologies at Dermavision - The Skin Clinic deal with most kinds of issues a person has when it comes to their skin; therefore, ensuring healthier, smooth skin for its clients.
Advantages of Laser Skin Resurfacing
Laser skin resurfacing provides several benefits:-
- It reduces fine lines and wrinkles, revealing a smoother skin around the eyes, mouth, and forehead.
- It improves the skin's texture by minimizing uneven surfaces.
- Minimizes Acne Scars - Reduces scars of acne efficiently.
- Promotes Even Skin Tone - Treats Hyperpigmentation, sunspots, and discoloration.
- It stimulates collagen production to give softer skin with youthful tightness.
- Non-invasive skin resurfacing has minimal downtime for impressive results without surgery.
Who qualifies to receive skin resurfacing?
Skin resurfacing is ideal for those with the following concerns:-

- Dull, tired-looking skin
However, individuals with certain skin conditions or sensitivities should consult with a dermatologist to determine the best treatment approach.
How Does Laser Skin Resurfacing Work?
Laser skin resurfacing removes damaged skin cells with focused beams of light energy and stimulates the production of collagen. We utilize fractional laser technology at Dermavision - The Skin Clinic. This treatment applies only a fraction of the treatment to the skin at one time, thereby inducing faster healing and less downtime.
Types of Lasers Utilized for Skin Resurfacing
- Ablative Lasers - These lasers eliminate the outer layer of the skin for a dramatic effect.
- Non-Ablative Lasers - Penetrate deeper layers without removing the outer layer of the skin, hence gentler and less downtime.
