Laser Skin Resurfacing and Tightening in Richardson, TX
What Is Laser Skin Resurfacing?
CO2 laser skin resurfacing at Pristine Med Spa is a noninvasive cosmetic procedure that uses pulsating beams of light to remove damaged skin layers. The procedure addresses facial lines and wrinkles and minimizes skin blemishes, including acne scars, pigmentation, and more. Sometimes referred to as a laser peel, laser skin resurfacing is considered an effective procedure for patients who want clearer, softer, younger-looking skin. Our team will customize the laser based on your skin type and needs. We utilize the Candela® CO2RE® and Candela GentleYag Pro® lasers for skin resurfacing and skin tightening and will help you decide which laser is ideal for your skin needs. There is some recovery time required with most laser skin resurfacing facials. During your initial consultation, you can review any questions or concerns with our Richardson, TX team.
How Does Laser Skin Resurfacing Work?
We may ask you to use a retinoid cream a few weeks before your laser procedure when scheduled for a more intense treatment. The retinoid helps prep the skin for better results. We will provide medication before treatment to help reduce any sensation so you can relax. Local anesthesia may be applied to numb the treatment areas if your complexion only needs mild improvement. For deeper laser procedures, we may require some form of sedation to keep you comfortable. Throughout the process, you can relax in our treatment chair. At the same time, the laser handpiece glides over your skin, precisely targeting the designated areas for resurfacing to minimize wrinkles, fine lines, rough skin texture, and hyperpigmentation. You will feel the heat of the laser, followed by cold air from the built-in cooling system. The CO2RE and GentleYag Pro lasers are designed to remove damaged skin cells while promoting natural collagen production.

About UsLaser Skin Resurfacing FAQs
Does laser skin resurfacing make your skin peel?
One of the normal and expected side effects of laser skin resurfacing is peeling and flaking of the skin, which is necessary to slough off dead and damaged skin cells and ultimately reveal a new, healthier, more radiant complexion. Peeling typically begins about 3-7 days after treatment, and it is important to let the process happen naturally - avoiding picking or scratching at the skin.
Will my skin need to be numbed for laser skin resurfacing?
To help ensure a comfortable and pleasant experience, we may recommend using a topical numbing agent prior to your laser skin resurfacing treatment. In addition, our advanced Candela lasers have a built-in cooling mechanism that can further help to minimize any discomfort you may experience during treatment.
How long do the results of laser skin resurfacing last?
One of the most exciting benefits of laser skin resurfacing is that the results of treatment can potentially last for up to 3-5 years. To preserve your laser skin resurfacing results for as long as possible, it is important to avoid direct sun exposure, adhere to healthy lifestyle habits, and maintain a proper skincare regimen.
