What Is Laser Skin Resurfacing?
Laser skin resurfacing is a customizable cosmetic treatment that uses pulsating light beams to exfoliate damaged skin cells and stimulate collagen production. Known also as a “laser peel,” this procedure targets fine lines, acne scars, pigmentation, and more, offering tailored solutions based on individual skin conditions.

Meet Dr Tamburrino Request a ConsultationWhat To Expect During Treatment
During the procedure, you’ll relax in our treatment area:
- We’ll apply a numbing agent or sedation for your comfort.
- The Cynosure Icon laser will precisely target damaged skin areas.
- The heat from the laser will exfoliate the skin and stimulate collagen production.
- You may feel the heat from the laser, followed by cold air from the built-in cooling system.
If you are scheduled for a more intense or deeper laser peel, we may ask you to use a retinoid cream for a few weeks before your laser treatment to prepare the skin. We’ll provide medication before the treatment to help reduce discomfort and allow for greater relaxation throughout your session. You may require sedation for more intense treatments.
Depending on the treatment intensity, recovery may range from a few days to several weeks.
What To Expect After Laser Skin Resurfacing
Understanding what to expect after laser skin resurfacing can help you prepare for your recovery and maximize your results. The healing process varies depending on the intensity of your treatment, but with proper aftercare, you can achieve a revitalized, radiant complexion.
- Milder Treatments: Mild redness and peeling for 3–5 days
- Intense Treatments: Swelling, irritation, and extended recovery of up to several weeks
The treated skin will naturally crust, flake, and peel away during healing. Avoid sun exposure and follow aftercare instructions to protect your skin and enhance results. Once the peeling process has concluded, your skin will feel smoother and appear younger, clearer, and rejuvenated.
Laser Skin Resurfacing FAQ
How much does laser skin resurfacing cost?
Costs vary depending on treatment type and individual goals. During your consultation, we’ll discuss pricing and package options.
Which laser treatment is best for me?
Joseph Tamburrino, M.D. will recommend the ideal treatment based on your skin condition, goals, and recovery preferences.
Can I combine laser resurfacing with other treatments?
Yes! Laser resurfacing pairs well with chemical peels, facials, or microdermabrasion for enhanced results.
How often should I schedule treatments?
The frequency depends on the intensity of your treatment and your desired results. Deeper treatments require longer intervals, but you may schedule lighter peels more frequently.
How can I help my skin recover after a resurfacing treatment?
Joseph Tamburrino, M.D. or someone on his team will give you recommendations on ways to help your skin heal following your laser resurfacing treatment. The top rule is don’t pick or peel flaking skin. Doing this could lead to long-term damage, such as scars. You should forgo all hair removal methods on the treated skin, including waxing, shaving, or depilatory creams. We can recommend an ointment to help soothe treated areas.
Should I get laser skin resurfacing, a chemical peel, or dermabrasion?
After listening to your skin concerns, Joseph Tamburrino, M.D. will help you choose the treatment that best suits your needs and goals. Although all 3 rejuvenate the skin’s surface, each has benefits and drawbacks.
