What Are the Different Types of Laser Resurfacing Procedures?

Most plastic surgeons offer a variety of non-surgical skin rejuvenation/resurfacing techniques designed to renew and revitalize the skin by encouraging new, healthy skin cell growth. The commonly used laser rejuvenation systems include:

Intense Pulse Light (IPL)

IPL uses intense pulsed light to remove fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, and uneven skin tone. Lumecca™ has proven to be the most effective IPL therapy for treating common skin blemishes and irregularities for flawless skin restoration.

Radiofrequency & Microneedling

Radiofrequency procedures, such as Morpheus8, use radiofrequency (i.e., heat) and microneedling to penetrate the deep layers of your skin, which helps address issues such as deep lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores, and mild sagging through with increased collagen production and skin tightening.

Any laser or pulsed light treatment should be performed by a well-trained physician who understands the science of facial care and aging.
