What is Laser Skin Resurfacing?

Laser skin resurfacing is a non-invasive or minimally invasive procedure that uses concentrated beams of light to improve skin texture, tone, and clarity. This treatment helps reduce wrinkles, scars, sun damage, and hyperpigmentation, revealing a smoother and more youthful complexion.

Common Skin Concerns Treated

• Fine lines and wrinkles – Softens crow’s feet, frown lines, and other signs of aging.
• Acne scars and other facial scars – Smooths out uneven skin texture.
• Sun damage and age spots – Lightens hyperpigmentation for a more even tone.
• Uneven skin texture – Reduces rough patches and promotes a silky smooth surface.
• Enlarged pores – Minimizes the appearance of large pores for refined skin.

At Defy Facial Spa, we use advanced laser technology to deliver precise, controlled resurfacing, ensuring maximum results with minimal downtime.

Benefits of Laser Skin Resurfacing

• Stimulates collagen production for long-term skin improvement.
• Removes damaged skin layers for a fresher, healthier complexion.
• Minimally invasive with customizable intensity for different skin types.
• Enhances skin elasticity for a firmer, more youthful look.
• Safe and effective for a variety of skin concerns.

For those seeking comprehensive skin rejuvenation, laser resurfacing can be combined with injectables or chemical peels to further refine and enhance results.

Is Laser Skin Resurfacing Right for You?

Laser skin resurfacing is ideal for individuals looking to refresh their appearance without undergoing surgery.

You may be a good candidate if you:
