What is Nonsurgical Skin Resurfacing?
Nonsurgical skin resurfacing at Nuance Medspa is a noninvasive cosmetic treatment that utilizes Alma Harmony XL PRO lasers or Accent Prime radiofrequency (RF) devices to address damaged skin cells layer by layer. The treatment is used for reducing facial lines and wrinkles and for minimizing skin irregularities, such as pigmentation, acne scars, and more. Nonsurgical skin resurfacing is considered a great procedure for patients who want a clearer, softer, younger-looking complexion. There is little recovery time required with most skin resurfacing treatments. Any concerns or questions can be discussed with board-certified physician Dr. Son Do during your consultation at our Vancouver, WA office.

Candidates for Nonsurgical skin Resurfacing
Nonsurgical skin resurfacing is ideal for people who are unsatisfied with their general complexion. If you see sun damage, age spots, acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles, redness, or pigmentation concerns, this procedure can help these imperfections. Also, it works wonders for patients who have rough texture, scaly patches, or other irregularities. This treatment isn't suggested if you have a very dark skin tone or active acne. Additionally, it's important to be aware that there is a recovery period associated with these laser treatments. Certain patients, based on the condition of their skin, may require up to 2 – 3 weeks to recover.
What to Expect with Skin Resurfacing
Following milder resurfacing procedures, a healing ointment will be smoothed over the skin and you can go home to recover. The skin may look red, and there will be some swelling and irritation. These symptoms subside in a few days. The treated sections may be protected with dressings. The downtime for a more intense skin resurfacing treatment can last several weeks. Every patient should reduce their UV exposure after their laser or RF skin resurfacing treatment and apply sun protection regularly. For all skin resurfacing treatments, the skin will naturally crust, flake, and peel away. Following this, the skin should feel smoother and appear more youthful.
