Laser Skin Resurfacing Results
Transform Your Skin's Texture and Tone
Your skin tells the story of every late night, every stressful week, every summer you forgot sunscreen. Fine lines around your eyes, acne scars from years past, uneven texture that makeup can’t quite cover—you see it all in the mirror.
Laser resurfacing changes that story. This isn’t about chasing perfection or erasing who you are. It’s about revealing the smoother, more even skin that’s been hiding underneath years of damage.
You’ll notice the difference in stages. First, your skin feels smoother to the touch. Then friends start asking if you’ve been getting more sleep. Within weeks, you’re reaching for less concealer because you actually need less of it.

Laser Resurfacing Process Oakland
Your Treatment Journey, Step by Step
Your laser resurfacing experience starts with a complimentary consultation where your skin is thoroughly evaluated. Our team examines your concerns—whether that’s fine lines, acne scarring, or sun damage—and explains which laser technology will work best for your skin type and goals.
On treatment day, your skin is cleansed and a topical numbing cream is applied for comfort. The laser device is calibrated specifically for your skin, delivering controlled energy pulses that remove damaged surface layers while stimulating collagen production underneath.
Most sessions take 30-60 minutes depending on the treatment area. You’ll experience some redness and mild swelling initially, similar to a sunburn. Your skin will start peeling within a few days as the damaged layers shed, revealing fresher skin underneath. Complete healing typically occurs within 7-10 days, with continued improvement over the following months as new collagen forms.

Laser Skin Rejuvenation Options
Comprehensive Treatment Options for Every Need
House of Ness offers both ablative and non-ablative laser resurfacing options to match your lifestyle and skin goals. Ablative treatments provide more dramatic results for deeper wrinkles and significant scarring, while non-ablative options offer gentler improvement with minimal downtime.
For Oakland residents balancing busy careers and family life, we provide flexible scheduling and realistic recovery timelines. You’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions and medical-grade skincare products to optimize your healing and maintain results.
We specialize in treating the specific skin concerns common in New Jersey’s climate—sun damage from beach weekends, environmental aging from urban pollution, and the fine lines that come with the stress of metropolitan living. Each treatment is customized based on your skin’s unique needs and your personal timeline for results.
How long does laser resurfacing recovery take in Oakland?
Recovery time depends on the type of laser resurfacing you choose. Non-ablative treatments typically require 2-3 days of mild redness with no actual downtime—you can return to work the next day with makeup if needed.
Ablative laser resurfacing involves 7-10 days of healing time. Your skin will be red and swollen for the first 48 hours, then begin peeling as new skin emerges. Most Oakland clients schedule their treatments on a Thursday or Friday to use the weekend for initial recovery.
Complete healing occurs within two weeks, but your skin continues improving for 3-6 months as new collagen develops. Our team provides detailed aftercare instructions and is available for questions throughout your recovery process.
What skin concerns does laser resurfacing treat effectively?
Laser resurfacing addresses multiple skin concerns simultaneously. Fine lines and wrinkles respond particularly well, especially around the eyes and mouth where expression lines develop over time.
Acne scarring sees significant improvement with laser treatment. Both shallow and deeper scars can be reduced through controlled removal of damaged tissue and stimulation of healthy collagen growth. Sun damage, age spots, and uneven skin tone also improve dramatically.
The treatment works on most skin types, though darker skin tones require specific laser settings and techniques. During your consultation, our team evaluates your skin type and concerns to determine the most effective approach for your specific situation.
Is laser resurfacing painful and what can I expect?
Most clients describe the sensation as similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin, followed by a warm, tingling feeling. Topical numbing cream is applied before treatment to minimize discomfort, and the laser settings are adjusted based on your pain tolerance.
During the procedure, you’ll feel brief pulses of heat as the laser works. The intensity varies depending on the treatment depth—superficial resurfacing feels like mild sunburn, while deeper treatments cause more noticeable discomfort that subsides quickly after completion.
Post-treatment pain is generally minimal. Your skin will feel tight and warm, similar to a moderate sunburn. Over-the-counter pain relievers are usually sufficient, and cool compresses provide additional relief during the first 24-48 hours.
How many laser resurfacing sessions will I need?
The number of sessions depends on your skin concerns and desired results. Many clients see significant improvement after a single ablative laser treatment, especially for fine lines and sun damage.
For acne scarring or deeper wrinkles, 2-3 sessions spaced 6-8 weeks apart often provide optimal results. Non-ablative treatments typically require 3-5 sessions for maximum benefit, but each session has minimal downtime.
During your consultation, our team creates a treatment plan based on your specific goals and timeline. Some clients prefer one comprehensive session with longer recovery, while others choose multiple gentler treatments spread over several months to fit their schedule.
What makes House of Ness different for laser resurfacing?
House of Ness combines board-certified medical expertise with personalized attention that larger practices can’t match. Every laser resurfacing treatment is overseen by a board-certified plastic surgeon, ensuring the highest safety standards and optimal results.
As a platinum-level Allergan partner, we maintain access to the most advanced laser technology and ongoing training. You receive a complimentary consultation, personalized treatment plan, and two-week follow-up with touch-up if needed—services that demonstrate our commitment to your satisfaction.
We focus exclusively on aesthetic treatments, meaning our team has specialized expertise in facial anatomy and laser technology. Combined with transparent pricing and minimal wait times, you get medical-grade results in a comfortable, professional environment.
Can laser resurfacing be combined with other treatments?
Laser resurfacing works excellently as part of a comprehensive aesthetic treatment plan. Many Oakland clients combine it with Botox and dermal fillers to address multiple signs of aging simultaneously—the laser improves skin texture while injectables target volume loss and dynamic wrinkles.
The timing of combination treatments matters. Botox can be performed 2-3 weeks before laser resurfacing, while dermal fillers are typically scheduled after your skin has fully healed from the laser treatment.
House of Ness specializes in creating integrated treatment plans that maximize your results while minimizing total downtime. During your consultation, we’ll discuss how laser resurfacing fits into your overall aesthetic goals and recommend the optimal timing for any additional procedures.
