What is laser resurfacing?

Dr. Gertzman uses laser resurfacing to rejuvenate your skin’s texture and appearance, using targeted laser energy to remove damaged outer layers of skin while stimulating collagen production beneath the surface. This process encourages your skin to heal and regenerate, revealing your true potential with smoother, brighter skin.

At Serenity Medical Spa, you have access to CoolPeel®, which delivers the benefits of traditional CO2 laser resurfacing with significantly less downtime. It can provide noticeable results without an extended recovery time.

What can laser resurfacing treat?

Laser resurfacing is highly versatile and can address a wide range of skin concerns, including:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Sun damage and age spots
• Uneven skin tone and texture
• Acne scars and other types of scarring
• Enlarged pores
• Dull or tired-looking skin

Because it exfoliates the skin and boosts collagen, laser resurfacing is ideal if you’re looking to improve overall skin quality, not just a single concern.

What are the benefits of laser resurfacing?

Treatments like CoolPeel offer additional advantages, including:

• Minimal downtime compared to traditional CO2 lasers
• Reduced risk of prolonged redness or irritation
• Gradual, natural-looking results
• Safe and customizable for different skin types and concerns

As your skin produces more collagen, it keeps improving over time, so your results can get even better weeks after your treatment.

What happens at a laser resurfacing appointment?

Dr. Gertzman begins with a consultation to assess your skin and determine the best treatment plan for your goals. 

She cleanses your skin and may apply a topical numbing cream to ensure comfort, then passes the laser device over the treatment area, delivering controlled pulses of energy. You may feel a warm or slightly prickling sensation, but it should be very tolerable. 

After the treatment, your downtime depends on the intensity of the treatment. With options like CoolPeel, you can expect mild redness (similar to a sunburn) that usually resolves within a few days. Dr. Gertzman gives you aftercare instructions, including moisturizing and avoiding direct sun exposure.

As your skin heals, you’ll notice improvements in tone and texture within about a week, with continued enhancement over the following weeks as collagen production increases.

Whether you’re dealing with sun damage, fine lines and wrinkles, or uneven texture, laser resurfacing with treatments like CoolPeel can help you achieve healthier skin. Schedule your consultation now by calling or booking online.
