Laser skin resurfacing is more than a beauty trend; it’s a science-backed treatment that renews skin from the inside out. At Dr. Flora Levin’s Westport practice, laser skin resurfacing treatments are designed to smooth texture, even tone, and restore youthful radiance. Let’s take a closer look at how these technologies work and what options are available to help you achieve your best skin.
How Laser Skin Resurfacing Works
Laser skin resurfacing delivers precise laser energy into the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production. These vital proteins provide firmness and elasticity, but they decline naturally with age. By triggering the body’s healing response, laser treatments repair damaged tissue and promote the growth of new, healthy skin cells.
Key benefits include:
- Stimulates collagen and elastin for improved skin elasticity
- Promotes cell renewal for smoother texture
- Reduces visible signs of aging and sun damage
- Produces gradual, natural-looking results
Laser skin resurfacing can treat a range of concerns, from fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars to stretch marks, enlarged pores, and pigmentation issues such as sun spots and freckles. By improving texture, tone, and overall skin quality, it helps restore a smoother, more youthful complexion.
Laser Treatment Options at Dr. Levin’s Practice
Dr. Levin offers a range of advanced laser technologies to address different skin concerns and goals. Each device is carefully selected for its proven safety, effectiveness, and ability to produce natural results:
- ResurFX: A non-ablative fractional laser that remodels collagen in the deeper layers of skin while keeping the surface intact. Ideal for wrinkles, acne scars, stretch marks, and large pores.
- FraxPro: A dual-wavelength system (1550 nm and 1940 nm) that targets both deep and superficial layers to refine texture and tone. Built-in SoftCool™ technology enhances comfort.
- DEKA CO₂ Fractional Laser: An ablative option that resurfaces the skin more aggressively to reduce deep wrinkles, scarring, and uneven pigmentation.
- AcuPulse CO₂ Laser: A precise fractional laser that treats fine lines, age spots, and laxity while promoting tighter, smoother skin.
- Additional Laser Treatments: Dr. Levin’s practice also offers IPL Photofacial, laser hair removal, and laser vein treatments for comprehensive aesthetic care.
During your consultation, Dr. Levin will recommend the most appropriate laser, or combination of treatments, based on your skin type, goals, and desired downtime.
Laser Resurfacing vs. Microneedling
While both treatments stimulate collagen production, they work differently. Laser resurfacing uses targeted light energy to remodel the skin’s structure, while microneedling creates micro-injuries with fine needles to prompt a natural healing response. Dr. Levin will help determine which option best fits your skin type, goals, and recovery preferences.
