Your skin tells a story—sun damage, fine lines, acne scars, uneven texture. Laser resurfacing rewrites that story by removing damaged surface layers and triggering your body’s natural healing response.
Within weeks, you’ll notice smoother texture and improved tone. Over the following months, as new collagen builds beneath the surface, deeper lines soften and your skin regains the firmness you thought was gone forever.
The result isn’t just younger-looking skin. It’s the confidence that comes from seeing your best self in the mirror every morning.
House of Ness brings the highest standard of aesthetic care to Staten Island residents. Led by a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon and staffed by certified, licensed professionals, we’ve earned our reputation as a Platinum-level Allergan partner.
What sets us apart in Emerson Hill isn’t just our credentials—it’s our approach. Every client receives a complimentary consultation, personalized treatment plan, and two-week follow-up with touch-ups if needed. No rushing, no pressure, just expert care in a welcoming environment.
Our Staten Island neighbors appreciate our transparent pricing and minimal wait times. We understand your time is valuable, and we respect that.
Your journey starts with a thorough consultation where we analyze your skin and discuss your goals. We’ll explain which laser technology—ablative or non-ablative—best suits your needs and timeline.
On treatment day, we apply topical numbing cream for your comfort. The laser precisely targets damaged skin cells while leaving surrounding tissue untouched. Most sessions take under 30 minutes, depending on the treatment area.
Immediately after, you might notice some mild redness—similar to a sunburn. This typically fades within hours to a few days. As your skin heals over the following weeks, you’ll see gradual improvements in texture, tone, and overall appearance. The full benefits emerge over 2-3 months as new collagen develops.

Our laser resurfacing treatments address the skin concerns most common among Staten Island residents—sun damage from beach days, fine lines from years of expression, and acne scars that never quite faded.
We use advanced fractional laser technology that treats both surface imperfections and deeper structural issues. This means one treatment can improve multiple concerns: wrinkles around your eyes, brown spots on your cheeks, and rough texture on your forehead.
Staten Island’s coastal climate can be tough on skin, but our treatments are designed to not only reverse existing damage but also strengthen your skin’s natural defenses. We combine laser treatments with medical-grade skincare to protect and enhance your results long-term.
Downtime depends on the type of laser treatment you receive. With non-ablative fractional lasers, most clients return to work the next day with only mild redness that’s easily covered with makeup.
Ablative treatments require more recovery—typically 5-7 days of peeling and redness. However, the results are more dramatic and immediate. During your consultation, we’ll discuss which approach fits your schedule and goals.
We provide detailed aftercare instructions and are always available to answer questions during your healing process. Most clients find the recovery much easier than they anticipated.
Modern laser technology has advanced significantly. We can safely and effectively treat virtually all skin types and tones, including darker complexions that were once considered unsuitable for laser treatments.
During your consultation, we perform a thorough skin analysis to determine the best laser settings for your specific skin type. Our Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon has extensive experience treating the diverse population of Staten Island and surrounding areas.
The key is proper assessment and technique. That’s why we never rush consultations and always perform test spots when appropriate to ensure optimal results and safety.
Most clients see improvement after just one session, but the number of treatments depends on your skin condition and goals. For mild sun damage and fine lines, 1-3 sessions typically provide excellent results.
Deeper wrinkles, significant scarring, or extensive sun damage may require 3-5 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. We create a customized treatment plan during your consultation and adjust as needed based on your skin’s response.
Many clients appreciate that even a single treatment provides noticeable improvement, so you can always start with one session and decide whether additional treatments would benefit you.
Most clients describe the sensation as similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin, followed by a warm feeling. We apply topical numbing cream 30-45 minutes before treatment to maximize your comfort.
During the procedure, you’ll wear protective eyewear while we systematically treat each area. The laser makes a series of quick pulses, and you’ll feel brief moments of heat. Most people find it very tolerable, especially with proper numbing.
After treatment, the area may feel like a mild sunburn for a few hours. We provide cooling gels and detailed instructions to keep you comfortable throughout the healing process.
Laser resurfacing provides long-lasting results because it stimulates your body’s natural collagen production. Most clients enjoy their improved skin texture and tone for 2-5 years, depending on their skin type, lifestyle, and sun exposure.
The key to maintaining results is proper skincare and sun protection. We provide medical-grade products and create a maintenance plan tailored to your needs. Some clients choose annual touch-up treatments to maintain their results.
Your skin will continue to age naturally, but many clients find their skin looks better years after treatment than it did before, thanks to the collagen stimulation and improved skin quality.
Laser resurfacing goes deeper than most other non-surgical treatments. While chemical peels and microneedling work on surface layers, laser resurfacing can target both surface imperfections and stimulate deeper collagen production.
Compared to surgical options, laser resurfacing provides significant improvement with much less downtime and risk. It’s particularly effective for concerns that topical treatments can’t address, like deeper wrinkles and acne scars.
The precision of laser technology also allows us to customize treatment intensity for different areas of your face. We can use gentler settings around delicate areas like your eyes while treating sun damage on your cheeks more aggressively.
