SKIN RESURFACING TREATMENTS

Advanced Laser & Energy-Based Treatments for South Bay Los Angeles

First, laser skin resurfacing removes damaged surface layers; then it stimulates collagen so skin looks smoother, clearer, and more even. In addition, these treatments address acne scars, sun damage, wrinkles, and rough texture while we calibrate intensity to match your goals and downtime.

At Skin Works Medical Spa in Torrance, we offer eight complementary resurfacing modalities. Consequently, our team can tailor the exact device and settings to your skin type, concerns, and schedule so results look natural while recovery stays predictable.

About the treatment

Understanding Laser Skin Resurfacing

How It Works

To begin, precise energy creates controlled micro-injury that triggers repair. As skin heals, new collagen and elastin form; therefore, lines soften, tone evens, and texture smooths. Meanwhile, we tune depth and density to balance impact with downtime.

Conditions We Treat

  • ◽️ For example, acne scars: ice pick, boxcar, and rolling
  • ◽️ Additionally, fine lines and wrinkles
  • ◽️ Moreover, sun damage and age spots
  • ◽️ Likewise, uneven texture and enlarged pores
  • ◽️ Furthermore, hyperpigmentation and melasma
  • ◽️ Also, mild to moderate laxity
  • ◽️ In addition, surgical scars and stretch marks
  • ◽️ When appropriate, rosacea-related redness

Who It’s Best For

  • ◽️ Patients seeking smoother texture and even tone
  • ◽️ All skin types, provided device and settings are matched
  • ◽️ Anyone wanting a tailored plan and clear recovery timelines

Combination & Maintenance Protocols

Popular Combos

Total Rejuvenation: CO₂ for deep resurfacing plus Morpheus8 for tightening, spaced about three months; together, they address texture and deeper laxity.

Acne Scar Solution: Alternate RF Microneedling with targeted TCA CROSS; consequently, rolling and ice pick scars improve from different angles.

Maintenance

After results peak, maintain quarterly with light peels or IPL and consider annual laser refreshers. Accordingly, package pricing supports consistency.

FAQ

Laser Resurfacing FAQ

Which treatment is right for me?

Typically, we match device and settings to your skin type, concerns, budget, and schedule. Moreover, blended plans often deliver the best outcome.

How long do results last?

With skincare and sun protection, light options last months; conversely, deeper lasers often hold one to several years.

Is it safe for darker tones?

Yes! When selection and prep are correct. Accordingly, RF-based devices work well for deeper tones, and certain lasers/peels can be used with careful settings.

What is ablative vs non-ablative?

In short, ablative removes surface for bigger change and longer downtime; meanwhile, non-ablative heats without removal for gradual results and minimal downtime.

Can I combine treatments?

Absolutely. In fact, pairing lasers with injectables, threads, or PRP, when appropriate, often enhances results while staying safe.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tap on a question to see the answer

What is it, and how does it work?

Skin resurfacing is a treatment designed to improve skin texture, tone, and overall appearance by removing damaged outer layers and stimulating natural collagen production. Using methods like lasers, chemical peels, or microneedling, it targets wrinkles, scars, discoloration, and other imperfections, revealing smoother, healthier skin underneath.

Which resurfacing treatment is best for acne scars?

For acne scars, laser resurfacing options like CO2 or Erbium lasers are highly effective. These lasers target scar tissue and stimulate collagen production to smooth the skin. RF microneedling and chemical peels can also improve acne scars by promoting cellular turnover and skin repair. The best option depends on your skin type and the severity of your scars.

How many sessions of laser resurfacing are needed for optimal results?

The number of sessions varies depending on the type of laser used, the skin condition being treated, and individual factors like skin type and age. Typically, 2-3 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart are recommended for moderate issues, while more severe conditions like deep acne scars may require additional treatments.

Can all skin types receive treatments?

Most resurfacing treatments are safe for all skin types, but certain lasers and chemical peels may carry a higher risk for darker skin tones. In these cases, treatments like RF microneedling, Erbium laser, or Pico laser are preferred due to their lower risk of causing pigmentation changes.

How long is the recovery time after a laser resurfacing treatment?

Recovery time depends on the type of treatment performed. Non-invasive treatments like microneedling or IPL photofacials typically require minimal downtime (1-3 days). More intensive laser treatments like CO2 or Erbium laser resurfacing may require 5-10 days of recovery, with full results becoming visible over several weeks.

Can resurfacing help with wrinkles and fine lines?

Yes, resurfacing treatments like fractional CO2 laser, RF microneedling, and chemical peels are highly effective for reducing wrinkles and fine lines. These treatments promote collagen production and skin regeneration, resulting in smoother, tighter skin over time.

What is the difference between laser resurfacing and microneedling?

Laser resurfacing uses targeted light energy to remove damaged skin layers and stimulate collagen, while microneedling uses fine needles to create micro-injuries that trigger collagen production. Laser resurfacing is more aggressive and may provide quicker, more dramatic results for deep wrinkles and scars, while microneedling is less invasive and has shorter recovery times.

How much does resurfacing cost?

The cost varies depending on the treatment type and area being treated. For example, laser resurfacing can range from $1,000 to $5,000 per session, while microneedling might cost between $300 and $900 per session. Skin Works Medical Spa offers a price match guarantee within 25 miles and flexible payment plans to make treatments more affordable.

Does laser resurfacing help with hyperpigmentation and sun damage?

Yes, laser resurfacing, particularly with Pico and fractional lasers, is highly effective at treating hyperpigmentation and sun damage. These treatments target pigment cells, breaking them up and allowing the body to naturally remove the pigment, resulting in a more even skin tone.
