Laser Skin Resurfacing

Laser resurfacing is a relatively new treatment for reducing facial wrinkles and skin irregularities, such as blemishes or acne scars. The technique directs short, concentrated pulsating beams of light at irregular skin. Laser skin resurfacing removes skin very precisely, layer by layer. This popular procedure is known by several other names, including lasabrasion, laser peel or laser vaporization. 

Am I a good candidate for laser skin resurfacing?

If you have fine lines or wrinkles around the eyes, mouth or on the forehead, scars from acne, or non-responsive skin after a facelift, then you may be a good candidate for laser skin resurfacing.

How It Works

At Motykie Medical Spa we offer the Alma Pixel 2940. With the High Power Pixel 2940, preprogrammed laser energy passes through the patented Pixel micro optics lens array and penetrates the skin, affecting just 15-20 percent of the surface. It creates an ablative thermal channel at the pixel area – a micro-injury – without disturbing the surrounding tissue. Those micro-injured areas start the process of healing and the untreated area acts as a reservoir for rapid restoration. As collagen remodels, skin tightens and texture improves.The gentleness of the procedure allows delicate areas such as the neck, chest and hands to be treated as safely as the face with little risk of infection. There is little downtime or discomfort, minimal analgesia, and no other disposables are required.

Ablative skin resurfacing is also the most effective non-surgical treatment for wrinkles, pores, acne scars, surgical scars, age spots, and a variety of skin imperfections. If you have active acne or if you have very dark skin, you may not be a candidate. This technique is also not recommended for stretch marks.
