Skin resurfacing is a cosmetic procedure used to improve the appearance of the skin by reducing wrinkles, blemishes, and other imperfections. It works by using concentrated heat to precisely remove layers of skin, stimulating the body’s natural healing process and promoting the growth of new, healthier skin cells.
Return the Light to Your Face
Skin resurfacing is an excellent way to reduce deep facial wrinkles and reverse the effects of aging on the skin. Dr. Johnson accomplishes this by stripping away the dead outer layer of skin and stimulating regrowth within the deeper layers. Newer skin then regrows in its place, like the youthful skin that regrows beneath a minor scrape or a superficial burn.

How is Skin Resurfacing Performed?
Step 1: Consultation
Before receiving skin resurfacing in Fort Worth, TX, we always recommend you schedule a skin consultation with Dr. Johnson. During this consultation, we will examine your skin and discuss your specific goals, concerns, and expectations. The patient’s skin type, sensitivity, and pigmentation will also be assessed to determine the most appropriate type of skin resurfacing treatment.
Step 2: Procedure
During the procedure, we’ll cleanse your skin, and a numbing cream or local anesthesia may be applied to minimize discomfort. We then precisely target the skin resurfacing device at the treatment area, adjusting its settings for your skin type and goals. You may feel a warm sensation or mild discomfort at the treatment site. The duration of the procedure depends on the size of the treatment area.
Step 3: Recovery
Once we finish your treatment, your skin will need a certain amount of time to recover. Results from skin resurfacing are gradual and may become noticeable within a few weeks to months after the treatment. Recovery time varies depending on the type of resurfacing performed. It’s essential to follow post-treatment care instructions provided by Dr. Johnson.
Skin Resurfacing FAQs
Skin resurfacing can effectively treat a variety of skin concerns, including wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, sun damage, age spots, uneven skin tone, and enlarged pores.
Most people are suitable candidates for skin resurfacing, but we recommend scheduling a consultation with Dr. Johnson to determine if the procedure is right for you. Candidates with fair to medium skin tones typically have the best results with skin resurfacing. Darker tones may be at a higher risk of complications such as changes in pigmentation, so alternative treatments may be necessary.
The number of treatment sessions needed varies depending on the individual’s skin condition and desired results. While some improvement may be noticeable after a single session, multiple sessions may be required for optimal results.
While skin resurfacing is generally safe, some potential risks and side effects may include temporary redness, swelling, itching, discomfort, changes in skin pigmentation, infection, and scarring.
The duration of your results depends on factors such as skincare routine, sun exposure, and lifestyle habits. With proper maintenance and sun protection, the results of skin resurfacing can last for several years. However, additional treatments may be needed to maintain optimal results.
