Show Your Skin Some Love with Laser Skin Resurfacing
Your skin is the largest organ in your body. It has grown, stretched, and moved with you since the day you were born. How well have you taken care of your skin? Your skin takes care of you in the following ways:
- Receives sensory information
- Stores water, fat, and vitamin D
- Regulates your body temperature
- Protects your body from germs, pollution, and radiation
Laser Skin Resurfacing can improve your skin’s overall appearance by removing the outer layer of your skin so your body can build and repair to form new skin, promote collagen growth and reveal smoother, younger-looking skin. AlluraMD Aesthetics + Wellness in Boynton Beach, FL., now offers the innovative skin rejuvenating approach of Laser Skin Resurfacing.
What Is Laser Skin Resurfacing?
As you age, your skin loses its elasticity, firmness, and overall luster it once had. Laser skin resurfacing is performed in our luxurious spa-like setting at Allura’s medspas. As a rejuvenation skincare treatment, Laser skin resurfacing removes the outer layer of your skin to remove skin blemishes, diminish the look of scars, and improve the appearance of your skin. The following types of lasers can be used during your treatment:

Am I a good candidate for Laser Skin Resurfacing?
Laser Skin Resurfacing may not be ideal for your skin condition if you currently have acne or very dark skin. Again, your aesthetic specialist will assess your skin during your consultation to determine if this is the right skincare approach for you. It is extremely important to tell your aesthetic specialist if you are prone to cold sores or fever blisters around your mouth as Laser Skin Resurfacing can irritate your skin and trigger a breakout. Your doctor can prescribe an antiviral medication before your first treatment to ensure breakouts do not occur.
Laser Skin Resurfacing Benefits
Improving your overall appearance with laser skin resurfacing will reveal healthy new skin. Additional benefits of Laser Skin Resurfacing include:
- Minimally invasive
- Minimal downtime
- An ideal skincare approach for teens and young adults to prevent acne
As long as you maintain your skin, repeated treatments may not be needed.

Laser Skin Resurfacing
Your procedure is performed in-office. Your aesthetic specialist will apply numbing cream or local anesthetic. If you are having your whole face treated, you may be given general anesthesia. So it is best to have someone who can drive you home after your procedure. The Laser Skin Resurfacing procedure may take up to two hours, depending on the number of treated areas.
Laser Skin Resurfacing Recovery
Twenty-four hours after your treatment, you need to clean your skin four to five times a day and apply an ointment to prevent scabs from forming. Your skin will heal within 10 to 21 days, but it depends on your skin condition and how deeply the laser penetrated your skin. Your aesthetic specialist will provide you with specific post-treatment instructions.

You will have new skin and need to wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect your skin with an SPF of 30 or higher. It is extremely important to minimize your skin’s exposure to the sun. Depending on your treatment areas, this means wearing a broad-brimmed hat or long sleeves to protect your skin.
