Revitalize your skin with non-ablative treatments

Laser skin resurfacing is a non-invasive treatment that revitalizes your skin by stimulating collagen production and targeting imperfections beneath the surface. At Southern Coastal Aesthetics, we offer non-ablative laser resurfacing, which delivers heat deep into your skin without damaging the top layer. This trailblazing technique encourages natural regeneration, smoothing fine lines, improving tone and texture, and minimizing discoloration. Because it’s non-ablative, there’s little to no downtime—just gradual, radiant improvement.

How non-ablative laser resurfacing is done

During non-ablative laser resurfacing, your provider will begin by cleansing your skin and applying protective eyewear to ensure your safety. A handheld laser device is then guided across the targeted areas, delivering controlled heat beneath the skin’s surface without harming the outer layer. You may experience a warm, tingling sensation, but not pain.

The treatment typically lasts 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the specific area being treated. There’s minimal discomfort and no downtime, so you can return to your day refreshed.

Laser resurfacing FAQs

How many treatments will I need?

The number of treatments required varies depending on your skin’s needs. Most patients typically require 3 to 5 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart for optimal results. Your provider will create a treatment plan tailored to your skin’s unique characteristics and goals.

Will I feel pain during the treatment?

Most patients report a warm, tingling sensation during the treatment. To ensure your comfort, your provider may apply a topical numbing cream to the treatment area before starting. While the sensation may be noticeable, it’s typically not painful.

How soon will I see results?

You may start to see subtle improvements within a few days to a few weeks after your first treatment, but the full results typically become visible after a few months. As the non-ablative laser stimulates collagen production, your skin will gradually improve in texture, tone, and elasticity. The results continue to develop over time.

Is there any downtime after the treatment?

Non-ablative laser resurfacing involves minimal downtime. After the procedure, you may experience mild redness or swelling, similar to a mild sunburn, which typically fades within a few hours to a day. Since the outer layer of your skin isn’t damaged, there’s no need for long recovery periods, and you can resume most activities immediately.

What should I do after my treatment?

After your non-ablative laser resurfacing treatment, it’s important to protect your skin while it heals. Avoid direct sun exposure for at least a few days and wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher. Keep your skin moisturized and follow any additional aftercare instructions provided by your provider to ensure the best possible outcome.
