One of the most exciting new advances in cosmetic surgery treatments is laser skin resurfacing. Laser skin resurfacing treatment is a non-intrusive treatment and is often the perfect option for reducing minor lines and wrinkles or discolorations.
At Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgery, we use a medical laser to gently remove layers of skin to improve cosmetic flaws. During a laser skin resurfacing procedure, our surgeons use a small laser wand to delicately remove layers of skin with great precision. Laser skin resurfacing is also non-invasive, and your provider will be able to control the depth the laser is allowed to penetrate the skin, allowing for total control over the laser and to assure the desired result.
Laser skin resurfacing is either ablative or non-ablative. During an ablative procedure, an intense beam of laser light energy is directed at the skin, removing the outer thin layers. This process generally results in a longer recovery. The results, however, can be a bit more dramatic. A non-ablative laser does not remove any layers of skin. Instead, it stimulates the growth of collagen, which helps tighten underlying skin. This process offers a lighter recovery. Results will not be immediate but will appear over the course of multiple appointments. You may be wondering, “Ablative or non-ablative?” While one is not better than the other, they have varying degrees of intensity and recovery. Both techniques provide nice results. During your initial consultation, we will discuss which is best for you. Factors include your personal aesthetic goals, skin type, and how much downtime can be tolerated.
Laser skin resurfacing removes the outer layer of skin and heats the underlying layer to stimulate the growth of new collagen fibers. During this process, damaged skin cells on the outer layer are stripped away, leaving a new layer of healthy skin to grow. If small sections of the face are being addressed, the procedure will typically take about 45 minutes.
A full-face treatment, or larger areas of skin, can take up to two hours. Multiple sessions are sometimes needed to attain the desired results.
Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgery was established in 1993, and since then we have continued to progress, grow, and evolve. We now have multiple locations, five board-certified plastic surgeons, seven Nurse Practitioner injectors, and seven skin health specialists covering Northeast Florida. We also have the most effective and advanced technology in the aesthetic industry. We offer patients the very best, and that is what has given us our exceptional reputation for both surgical and non-surgical procedures. If you’re in the Jacksonville, Fernandina Beach, or Ponte Vedra Beach, FL area and you’re considering laser skin resurfacing, we welcome you to contact us to book your consultation.
How much does laser skin resurfacing cost?
Can laser skin resurfacing damage my skin?
The cost for laser skin resurfacing varies according to the technology used and the number and size of areas treated. The average cost can range between $5,000-$10,000. Factors included are medications (including anesthesia if needed), practitioner’s fee, and machine use costs. We also offer two financing options, CareCredit® and Alphaeon® Credit, to help pay for these procedures if needed.
The laser skin resurfacing procedure was created to improve the appearance of the skin. However, an inexperienced individual can damage the skin unintentionally. That’s why it’s so important to find a laser skin resurfacing professional who understands how the various laser technologies interact with different skin types. If done correctly, the results can be effective and long-lasting.
