Laser Resurfacing
Treats fine lines, sun spots and rough texture with a controlled laser, so new skin grows back smoother and more even.
Treats fine lines, sun spots and rough texture with a controlled laser, so new skin grows back smoother and more even.
What it is
Laser resurfacing removes a controlled layer of skin so the body rebuilds it with fresh collagen. Light treatments need a few days of downtime; deeper ones need about a week. It is performed in The Skin Room.
Is it right for you
- Fine lines, sun damage or acne scars are the concern
- You can avoid strong sun for six weeks
- You have no active skin infection
- You are in good general health
Recovery
You go home the same day. The skin looks sunburned, then peels over five to seven days.
- Days 1 to 3: ointment and gentle cleansing
- Days 5 to 7: peeling ends, makeup returns
- Week 6: pinkness fades
- Months 3 to 6: collagen keeps building
Risks
Every operation carries risk. You will hear your own numbers at the consultation before you sign a consent form.
- Redness that lasts several weeks
- Darker or lighter patches, more likely in darker skin
- Cold sores in patients who carry the virus
How long results last
Results last years with daily sun protection. Many patients repeat a light treatment every one to two years.

Frequently Asked
Questions
You do not need to know before you book. Describe the change you want; Dr. Hart explains which options fit your anatomy, including non-surgical ones.
Yes. Every written quote lists the surgeon's fee, the facility, anesthesia, implants where used, garments and all follow-up visits, so the number you sign is the number you pay.
Often, yes, as long as the total operating time stays safe for your health history. Dr. Hart will tell you plainly when staging two operations is the better choice.
Yes. About one patient in five is a man, most often for eyelid surgery, rhinoplasty, chest contouring or body contouring after weight loss.
We ask for six months at a stable weight first. Contouring is then planned in stages, usually two or three operations over 12 to 18 months.
Modern implants are not lifetime devices, but many last well beyond ten years. We check them at every follow-up and explain the signs that mean it is time to review.
