FAQs

1. What skin concerns can laser skin resurfacing treat?

Laser skin resurfacing is a versatile procedure that addresses a variety of skin concerns. It effectively reduces fine lines and wrinkles by encouraging collagen production, helping to restore youthful skin. For those with acne scars, the treatment smooths uneven texture by targeting deeper layers of the skin. It is also highly effective in repairing sun damage, reducing discoloration, and tackling hyperpigmentation, such as age spots and melasma. Additionally, it can rejuvenate dull or rough skin, giving it a more radiant appearance.

2. How long is recovery?

The recovery period depends on the depth and intensity of the laser skin resurfacing treatment. For lighter procedures, redness and minor peeling typically subside within 2–5 days, allowing patients to resume normal activities quickly. Moderate to deep treatments require a longer recovery, with redness, peeling, and sensitivity lasting up to two weeks. Full healing and the final results, including enhanced skin texture and tone, may take several months. Post-procedure care, such as moisturising and avoiding sun exposure, is essential for optimal healing.

3. Is the treatment painful?

Pain levels during laser skin resurfacing vary depending on the depth of treatment. Lighter procedures are usually well-tolerated with the application of topical anesthetic cream to numb the treated area. For deeper treatments, patients may experience more discomfort, often described as a warming or tingling sensation, and sedation or stronger numbing options may be offered. We can also perform it during surgery if you’re under general anaesthetic. While mild discomfort is common during recovery, this can be managed effectively with prescribed aftercare products, ensuring a smoother and more comfortable healing process.

4. Are results permanent?

The results of laser skin resurfacing are long-lasting but not entirely permanent, as natural aging and external factors like sun exposure can affect the skin over time. The treatment provides significant improvements in skin texture, tone, and elasticity, which can be maintained with proper skincare practices. Regular use of high-SPF sunscreen, a customised skincare regimen, and occasional touch-up treatments can help preserve and prolong the rejuvenated appearance achieved through laser skin resurfacing.

5. How much does it cost?

The cost of laser skin resurfacing varies based on the area treated, the complexity of the procedure, and the technology used. For targeted treatments addressing small areas, prices typically start at around £495. For more extensive full-face resurfacing, the cost can range up to £4,000. During a consultation, your surgeon will assess your needs and provide a detailed breakdown of the costs involved, ensuring clarity and transparency about your investment.
