Your skin tells a story—sun damage, fine lines, acne scars, uneven texture. But it doesn’t have to be the story you want to keep telling.
Laser resurfacing changes that narrative by removing damaged surface layers and triggering your body’s natural healing response. New collagen forms. Fresh, healthy skin emerges. The result? Smoother texture, reduced wrinkles, and that confident glow you’ve been missing.
You’ll notice improvements within days, with continued enhancement over the following months as your skin continues rebuilding itself from within.
House of Ness brings Manhattan-level laser resurfacing expertise directly to Fresh Kills, NY. Led by a board-certified plastic surgeon and staffed by licensed, certified specialists, we’ve built our reputation on delivering natural, balanced results that enhance rather than dramatically alter.
As a platinum-level Allergan partner, House of Ness maintains the highest standards for both products and procedures. Fresh Kills residents choose us because we combine medical-grade expertise with genuine care—no high-pressure sales, just honest consultations and personalized treatment plans.
Our approach is simple: understand your goals, match you with the right treatment, and support you through every step of the process.
Your laser resurfacing journey starts with a complimentary consultation where you’ll discuss your concerns and goals with one of our certified specialists. We’ll evaluate your skin, explain your options, and create a personalized treatment plan—no pressure, just honest guidance.
During treatment, advanced fractional laser technology delivers precise energy to targeted areas, removing damaged surface layers while preserving healthy surrounding tissue. Most sessions take 30-45 minutes, and topical anesthesia ensures your comfort throughout.
Recovery is straightforward—expect some redness similar to a mild sunburn for a few days to a week, depending on treatment intensity. You’ll return for a two-week follow-up to assess results and perform any necessary touch-ups, ensuring you achieve the outcome you envisioned.

House of Ness offers multiple laser resurfacing options tailored to Fresh Kills residents’ diverse needs and schedules. From gentle non-ablative treatments with zero downtime to more intensive fractional CO2 resurfacing for dramatic results, your treatment plan matches your lifestyle and goals.
Staten Island’s climate and lifestyle present unique skin challenges—from summer sun exposure to winter dryness. Our specialists understand these local factors and adjust treatment protocols accordingly, ensuring optimal healing and lasting results in your specific environment.
Every treatment includes comprehensive pre-care guidance, professional-grade post-treatment products, and ongoing support through our loyalty program. Military personnel, nurses, and first responders receive specialized pricing as recognition for their service to the Fresh Kills community.
Recovery time varies by treatment intensity, but Fresh Kills’ moderate climate actually supports healing well. For non-ablative treatments, expect mild redness for 1-3 days with no actual downtime—you can return to work immediately with proper sun protection.
Fractional treatments typically involve 3-7 days of healing, during which your skin may appear red and slightly swollen, similar to a sunburn. Staten Island’s humidity can actually help maintain skin moisture during recovery, though you’ll want to avoid direct sun exposure and use the medical-grade products we provide.
Most patients find they can resume normal social activities within a week, with makeup covering any residual redness if needed.
Non-ablative laser resurfacing heats deeper skin layers without removing surface tissue, stimulating collagen production with minimal downtime. You might experience slight redness for a day or two, but can immediately return to normal activities. Results develop gradually over several months.
CO2 fractional resurfacing actually removes microscopic columns of damaged skin, creating controlled injury that triggers dramatic healing and collagen remodeling. This approach delivers more significant improvements in texture, wrinkles, and scarring, but requires 5-10 days of recovery time.
Your specialist will recommend the approach that best matches your skin concerns, lifestyle, and desired outcome timeline during your complimentary consultation.
Treatment frequency depends on your specific concerns and chosen approach. Non-ablative treatments typically require 3-6 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart for optimal collagen building and gradual improvement.
More intensive fractional CO2 treatments often achieve significant results in 1-2 sessions, with treatments spaced 3-6 months apart to allow complete healing between sessions. Many patients see substantial improvement after just one treatment.
During your consultation, your specialist will create a personalized timeline based on your skin condition, goals, and schedule. We’ll also discuss maintenance treatments to preserve your results long-term, typically needed every 1-2 years depending on your skin and lifestyle.
Modern fractional laser technology is safe for most skin types when performed by experienced, certified specialists. However, certain skin tones and conditions require specific laser wavelengths and treatment protocols to avoid complications like hyperpigmentation.
Our diverse team of specialists has extensive experience treating all skin types safely. We’ll evaluate your skin tone, medical history, and current condition during consultation to determine the most appropriate laser technology and settings for your specific needs.
Pre-treatment preparation may include specific skincare products to optimize your skin’s response and minimize risk. Your specialist will provide detailed pre-care and post-care instructions tailored to your skin type to ensure safe, effective results.
Laser resurfacing effectively treats multiple concerns simultaneously: fine lines and wrinkles, acne scarring, sun damage, age spots, uneven skin texture, enlarged pores, and mild skin laxity. It’s particularly effective for addressing the combined effects of aging and sun exposure common among Staten Island residents.
The treatment works by removing damaged surface layers and stimulating new collagen production, which addresses both surface imperfections and underlying skin structure. Results include smoother texture, more even tone, reduced pore size, and improved skin firmness.
However, laser resurfacing isn’t ideal for active acne, deep wrinkles requiring surgical intervention, or certain types of melasma. We’ll honestly assess whether laser resurfacing can achieve your desired outcomes or recommend alternative treatments during your complimentary consultation.
Preparation begins 2-4 weeks before treatment with a customized skincare regimen including medical-grade products to optimize your skin’s response. This typically includes gentle retinoids, hydrating serums, and broad-spectrum sunscreen to prepare your skin for optimal healing.
Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and certain medications or supplements that increase photosensitivity. Stop using harsh exfoliants, glycolic acid, or other aggressive skincare products one week before treatment. If you have a history of cold sores, antiviral medication may be prescribed.
We provide a detailed pre-care checklist during consultation, along with all necessary products. We’ll also schedule a pre-treatment check-in to ensure your skin is ready and answer any last-minute questions before your laser resurfacing session.
