Before, During, and After Laser Resurfacing Treatment
What To Expect Before a Laser Resurfacing Treatment
Before your laser skin resurfacing procedure, you’ll meet with our laser specialists to assess your skin and develop a personalized treatment plan. We’ll review your medical history and discuss pre-treatment instructions, such as avoiding sun exposure, certain skincare products, and medications that may increase sensitivity. You’ll also receive guidance on preparing your skin for optimal healing. A patch test may be performed to ensure safety. At Des Moines Plastic Surgery™, our goal is to provide a safe, comfortable experience from consultation to recovery.
What To Expect During a Laser Resurfacing Treatment
During your treatment, one of our laser specialists will begin by assessing your skin and customizing the depth and intensity of the procedure based on your goals. A topical anesthetic or local anesthesia will be applied to ensure your comfort throughout. Once your skin is prepped, the Sciton Contour TRL™ laser will be used to precisely remove the outer layers of damaged skin. The entire process is carefully controlled to stimulate collagen production while resurfacing the skin for a firmer, more youthful appearance.
What To Expect After a Laser Resurfacing Treatment
After your deep laser resurfacing procedure, you can expect redness, swelling, and skin peeling for several days. The healing process varies based on treatment depth but typically takes 7–10 days. You’ll be given a tailored post-care regimen including moisturizer, sunscreen, and other soothing products. Most patients notice their skin gradually becoming smoother, firmer, and clearer in the weeks following treatment. At Des Moines Plastic Surgery™, we provide comprehensive recovery support to ensure a safe, successful outcome.
