Laser skin resurfacing is a cosmetic treatment used to create smoother, tighter skin while reducing fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging. The treatment is also effective for treating other cosmetic skin issues, including acne scars, uneven skin tone, and sun damage.
Laser skin resurfacing works by delivering concentrated beams of light to the targeted skin. The light removes the outer layers of irregular skin and heats the underlying layers. This process allows new, healthy skin cells to emerge and stimulates the body's production of collagen, which is an important protein for the health and complexion of the skin.
At Ridha Plastic Surgery & Medspa, we use the innovative Icon device for laser skin resurfacing. The Icon is a multi-modality IPL intense pulsed light and laser platform that offers several functions. We have two different handpieces available: the Max-G handpiece for treating sun damage, rosacea, discoloration, and facial vessels; and the 1540nm erbium handpiece which uses a non-ablative laser to rejuvenate the skin with minimal downtime.

The Icon is a multi-modality IPL intense pulsed light and laser platform.

The 1540nm erbium handpiece uses a non-ablative laser to rejuvenate the skin with minimal downtime, treating wrinkles, scarring, stretch marks, and promoting collagen production.
After your treatment, Dr. Ridha will provide thorough instructions to ensure proper healing. You may need to take between one and three days off work after the procedure, and you should avoid strenuous exercise for at least two days.
Results develop gradually as your skin heals and new collagen is produced. The 1540nm handpiece promotes increased collagen production, which leads to long-lasting skin improvements over time.
