ProceduresLaser Resurfacing

Laser Resurfacing

Laser treatments that remove or heat skin layers to improve texture, tone, wrinkles, scars, and sun damage. Options range from gentle non-ablative treatments with no downtime to aggressive ablative lasers with significant recovery.

Laser treatments use focused light energy to address a wide range of skin concerns — from pigmentation and sun damage to acne scars, redness, and skin texture. The category spans dozens of devices and technologies, including ablative lasers (like CO2 and Erbium), non-ablative lasers (like Clear + Brilliant and Pico), IPL (intense pulsed light), and vascular lasers (like V-Beam for redness).

Pricing varies dramatically depending on the device, treatment area, and whether you’re doing a full resurfacing or a lighter maintenance session. Ablative lasers tend to cost more due to longer downtime and more dramatic results. Non-ablative and IPL treatments are typically less per session but may require more treatments.

How Laser Resurfacing Are Priced

Laser resurfacing is priced per session, typically $300–$2,000+ depending on the laser type and treatment area. Ablative lasers (CO2, Erbium) cost more but may need fewer sessions. Non-ablative treatments are gentler and often done in a series.
