Laser Skin Rejuvenation Ridgewood
What You'll See After Treatment
Your skin texture improves within the first week, but the real transformation happens over the next three months. Fine lines soften. Acne scars fade. Sun spots lighten. Your complexion becomes more even, smoother, and noticeably refreshed.
The collagen production triggered by laser resurfacing doesn’t just address current concerns—it continues working beneath the surface for months after your treatment. You’re not just covering up skin issues; you’re actually rebuilding healthier skin from within.
Most patients see significant improvement after just one session, though deeper concerns may benefit from a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart.

Laser Resurfacing Process Ridgewood
Your Treatment Journey, Step by Step
Your experience starts with a complimentary consultation where we assess your skin and discuss your goals. No pressure, no sales pitch—just honest recommendations about what will work best for your specific concerns.
On treatment day, we apply a topical numbing agent to ensure comfort. The laser delivers precise, controlled energy to target damaged skin cells while stimulating new collagen production. Depending on your treatment area and concerns, sessions typically last 30-60 minutes.
After treatment, you’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions and medical-grade skincare products to optimize healing. We schedule a two-week follow-up to monitor your progress and provide touch-ups if needed—at no additional cost. This isn’t just about the procedure; it’s about ensuring you get the results you’re investing in.

Laser Treatment Options Ridgewood
Treatments Tailored to Your Skin
House of Ness offers both ablative and non-ablative laser resurfacing to address different skin concerns and recovery preferences. Ablative treatments provide more dramatic results for deep wrinkles and acne scars, while non-ablative options offer gentler improvement with minimal downtime.
For Ridgewood residents dealing with sun damage from outdoor activities at parks like Graydon Pool or Saddle River County Park, our laser treatments effectively target age spots and uneven pigmentation. The humid New Jersey summers can exacerbate skin concerns, making professional laser resurfacing particularly beneficial for maintaining healthy skin year-round.
We also combine laser treatments with medical-grade skincare regimens designed specifically for the Northeast climate, helping protect and maintain your results through seasonal changes. Our integrated approach means your skin improvement doesn’t stop when you leave our office—it continues with professional-grade products and ongoing support.
How long does laser resurfacing take to heal in Ridgewood's climate?
Recovery time varies by treatment type, but most patients see initial healing within 5-7 days. New Jersey’s humidity can actually help the healing process by keeping skin naturally moisturized, though you’ll need to protect treated areas from sun exposure.
For ablative treatments, expect about two weeks of recovery with some redness and peeling. Non-ablative treatments typically require only 2-3 days of minimal downtime. We provide specific aftercare instructions tailored to local weather conditions, including recommendations for indoor activities during peak healing time.
Your two-week follow-up appointment allows us to assess how your skin is responding to the local environment and make any necessary adjustments to your aftercare routine.
What's the difference between ablative and non-ablative laser resurfacing?
Ablative lasers remove the outer layer of skin completely, delivering more dramatic results for deep wrinkles, severe acne scars, and significant sun damage. Think of it as a complete skin reset—you’ll see substantial improvement, but recovery takes 1-2 weeks with some scabbing and peeling.
Non-ablative lasers work beneath the surface without removing the top layer of skin. They stimulate collagen production and improve texture with minimal visible healing time—usually just a few days of mild redness. Results are more gradual but still significant, especially for fine lines and mild scarring.
During your consultation, we’ll examine your skin concerns and lifestyle to recommend the best approach. Some patients benefit from a series of non-ablative treatments, while others achieve their goals with a single ablative session.
Can laser resurfacing treat both acne scars and wrinkles simultaneously?
Yes, laser resurfacing addresses multiple skin concerns in a single treatment session. The same collagen stimulation that smooths acne scars also reduces fine lines and improves overall skin texture. This makes it particularly effective for patients dealing with both aging concerns and acne scarring.
We customize the laser settings and treatment depth based on your specific combination of concerns. Areas with deeper acne scars might receive more intensive treatment, while regions with fine lines get a gentler approach—all during the same session.
This comprehensive approach is more cost-effective and convenient than addressing each concern separately. Most patients see improvement in both acne scars and wrinkles within the first few weeks, with continued enhancement over several months as new collagen forms.
How much does laser resurfacing cost at House of Ness?
Treatment costs vary based on the size of the treatment area, type of laser used, and number of sessions needed. During your complimentary consultation, we provide transparent pricing with no hidden fees or surprise charges.
We offer several payment options and participate in the Allē rewards program, which provides points toward future treatments. Military personnel, nurses, and first responders receive specialized discounts as part of our commitment to serving the community.
Unlike many practices, we include your two-week follow-up and any necessary touch-ups in the initial treatment cost. This ensures you achieve optimal results without additional unexpected expenses. We’ll also discuss medical-grade skincare products to maintain your results, with recommendations based on your budget and goals.
Is laser resurfacing safe for all skin types and tones?
Laser resurfacing can be safely performed on most skin types, but the specific laser type and settings must be carefully chosen based on your skin tone and characteristics. Our board-certified team has extensive experience treating diverse skin types common in the Ridgewood area.
For darker skin tones, we typically recommend non-ablative treatments or specific laser wavelengths that minimize the risk of pigmentation changes. During your consultation, we’ll assess your skin’s response to treatment and discuss any precautions specific to your skin type.
Our experience with Bergen County’s diverse population means we understand how different skin types respond to various laser treatments. We’ll never recommend a treatment that isn’t appropriate for your skin, prioritizing safety and optimal results over aggressive marketing.
What should I avoid before and after laser resurfacing treatment?
Before treatment, avoid sun exposure, tanning, and certain skincare ingredients like retinoids for about a week. We’ll provide a detailed pre-treatment checklist during your consultation, including any medications or supplements to temporarily discontinue.
After treatment, sun protection becomes critical—even brief exposure can cause pigmentation issues during healing. We recommend staying indoors during peak sun hours and using broad-spectrum sunscreen when outside. Avoid swimming, saunas, and intense exercise for the first week.
We’ll provide medical-grade healing products and specific instructions for your skin type and treatment intensity. Your aftercare routine is just as important as the treatment itself for achieving optimal results. During your follow-up appointment, we’ll assess your healing progress and adjust recommendations if needed.
