Renew Your Skin With Skin Resurfacing

If you have scars, discoloration, wrinkles, or other imperfections affecting the appearance of your skin, you have hope. While you can try numerous products on the market, possibly without results, there's a minimally invasive procedure that requires virtually no downtime or restrictions afterward available at Precision Aesthetics, serving Denton, TX, and the nearby region — skin resurfacing with Dr. Derek Farley or another specialist from the team.

About the Procedure

Skin resurfacing is a laser procedure in which a practitioner from our office directs a laser toward the areas of concern. The light energy penetrates the skin to stimulate collagen production underneath. 

This particular treatment can use either an ablative laser or a non-ablative laser. The non-ablative version doesn't affect any of the layers of skin and only heats underneath them. On the other hand, a specialist can also target the skin using an ablative head and specific settings. For this version, the light energy does microscopic damage to the skin. You can't see, nor will you feel. It, however, removes that first layer of skin. But don't worry — we take steps to ensure it's as comfortable as possible. This version also stimulates collagen production, helping to reveal a new, less-flawed layer of skin. 

Types of Skin Conditions Treated

Skin resurfacing at our Denton, TX, office may be an option to treat any one of the following:

• Fine lines
• Wrinkles
• Uneven skin tone
• Enlarged pores
• Scarring (including acne scarring)
• Age spots
• Sun damage

Ultimately, your skin will have a more even tone, fewer blemishes, and appear younger. You'll have a renewed self-esteem and will be less self-conscious about your flaws. In the process, your skin will become firmer from the collagen production. 

Why Opt for This Treatment

Firstly, you'll appreciate what this treatment can provide compared to other ones. Laser resurfacing supplies long-lasting results, with many patients seeing a noticeable difference three to five years after their treatment. To ensure maximum longevity, you may visit for maintenance treatments every six months to two years, depending on the type of laser resurfacing you choose. 

Though you may have some downtime immediately afterward, it's usually minimal. You'll experience swelling and redness at first, but it'll fade. Restrictions include avoiding makeup for the first few days and sun exposure for the first week or two.

Other benefits of renewing and opting for laser resurfacing include:

• No scarring
• Less risk of hyperpigmentation compared to chemical peels
• Less discomfort than other treatments
• Precise treatment: doesn't harm the surrounding skin
