Laser Skin Resurfacing Franklin Lakes
See Real Results in Weeks
Your skin concerns don’t have to define how you feel when you look in the mirror. Laser resurfacing addresses what bothers you most—fine lines around your eyes, acne scars from years past, sun damage that makeup can’t cover, or rough texture that makes your skin feel older than you are.
The right laser treatment smooths these imperfections at the cellular level. You’ll notice smoother texture within days, with continued improvement over the following weeks. Most clients see significant results after just one session, though deeper concerns may benefit from a series of treatments.
What you get is skin that looks refreshed and feels softer—not overdone or obviously treated. Just you, but with the confidence that comes from skin you’re genuinely happy to show.

Laser Resurfacing Process Franklin Lakes
Your Treatment Plan, Step by Step
Every laser resurfacing treatment begins with a complimentary consultation where your provider evaluates your skin concerns and discusses realistic outcomes. You’ll learn which laser technology works best for your specific issues—whether that’s fractional CO2 for deeper concerns or gentler options for maintenance treatments.
On treatment day, your skin is prepped and numbed for comfort. The laser delivers controlled energy to targeted areas, stimulating collagen production while removing damaged surface cells. Most sessions take 30-60 minutes depending on the treatment area.
Recovery varies by laser type, but most clients experience mild redness and peeling for 3-7 days. You’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions and medical-grade skincare to optimize healing. A two-week follow-up ensures you’re healing properly, with touch-ups provided if needed.

How much downtime should I expect after laser resurfacing?
Downtime depends on the type of laser used and your skin’s healing response. Non-ablative treatments typically cause mild redness for 1-2 days, similar to a sunburn. Ablative treatments like fractional CO2 involve 5-7 days of peeling and redness.
Most Franklin Lakes clients schedule treatments on Thursday or Friday to use the weekend for initial healing. You can usually return to work within a week, though you may need makeup to cover residual redness. Your provider will give you a realistic timeline based on your specific treatment plan.
The key is following aftercare instructions exactly. Proper skincare, sun protection, and gentle cleansing significantly impact how quickly and smoothly you heal.
What's the difference between ablative and non-ablative laser resurfacing?
Ablative lasers remove the top layer of skin completely, creating controlled wounds that heal with new, smoother skin. These treatments provide dramatic results for deep wrinkles, significant acne scarring, and severe sun damage, but require more downtime.
Non-ablative lasers work beneath the skin surface without removing the top layer. They stimulate collagen production and improve texture with minimal downtime, making them ideal for maintenance treatments or those with busy schedules.
Your provider will recommend the best approach based on your concerns, skin type, and lifestyle. Many clients start with non-ablative treatments and progress to ablative options for more significant concerns.
How many treatments will I need to see results?
Most clients see improvement after one treatment, but the number of sessions depends on your specific concerns and goals. Fine lines and mild sun damage often respond well to a single ablative treatment or 2-3 non-ablative sessions.
Deeper acne scars or significant wrinkles may require 2-4 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart for optimal results. Your provider will create a treatment plan during your consultation, but this can be adjusted based on how your skin responds.
The goal is achieving your desired results with the fewest treatments possible. Some clients prefer a series of gentler treatments, while others want maximum improvement from fewer, more intensive sessions.
Is laser resurfacing safe for all skin types?
Modern laser technology can safely treat most skin types, but the approach varies significantly. Darker skin tones require specific laser wavelengths and settings to avoid pigmentation changes or scarring.
Your provider will assess your skin type, medical history, and current skincare routine during consultation. Certain conditions like active acne, recent sun exposure, or specific medications may require treatment delays or modifications.
This is why board-certified oversight matters—proper evaluation and laser selection prevent complications. Our team has experience treating diverse skin types safely and will only proceed when we’re confident in achieving good results.
What should I avoid before and after laser resurfacing?
Before treatment, avoid sun exposure, self-tanners, and certain skincare ingredients like retinoids for 1-2 weeks. Stop taking blood-thinning medications if medically safe, and inform your provider about all supplements and prescriptions.
After treatment, sun protection is crucial—even brief exposure can cause permanent pigmentation changes. Avoid harsh skincare products, picking at peeling skin, and strenuous exercise until cleared by your provider.
You’ll receive detailed pre- and post-care instructions specific to your treatment type. Following these guidelines exactly determines how well you heal and the quality of your final results. Most complications arise from not following aftercare properly.
How long do laser resurfacing results last?
Results from laser resurfacing can last several years with proper skincare and sun protection. The collagen stimulation continues for months after treatment, with improvements often lasting 3-5 years for ablative treatments.
However, your skin continues aging, and new sun damage can occur. Many clients maintain results with annual touch-up treatments or incorporate medical-grade skincare to extend benefits.
The longevity also depends on your skin type, lifestyle, and the specific concerns treated. Acne scar improvement tends to be permanent, while fine lines may gradually return as natural aging continues. Your provider will discuss realistic expectations and maintenance recommendations during consultation.
