An Introduction

Laser skin resurfacing removes damaged outer layers of skin and stimulates collagen in the layers below, smoothing wrinkles, scars, and the texture and tone changes of sun damage. At Natural Results, treatment intensity is tailored from gentle fractional sessions with little downtime to deeper resurfacing for more dramatic results, overseen by board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Carlos Mata (Dr. Scottsdale®).

01
The Treatment

How Resurfacing Works

Laser energy precisely removes or heats the skin's surface, prompting renewal and collagen production. Fractional approaches treat a grid of microscopic zones to speed healing, while deeper resurfacing delivers stronger results in fewer sessions.

For the deepest resurfacing, see fractional CO2 laser; for tone and pigment, IPL may be added.

02
What to Expect

Recovery & Results

Downtime ranges from a few days of redness for lighter treatments to about a week of peeling for deeper resurfacing. Skin looks smoother and clearer once healed, with continued improvement over the following months and strict sun protection essential.
