Resurfacing for Skin Renewal

Laser skin resurfacing involves accurate and precise treatment that helps restore the natural beauty of the skin. The long-lasting method targets imperfections in the skin, while leaving surrounding unblemished skin untouched. This allows for greater control over which parts of the skin are treated, unlike traditional treatments such as chemical peels or dermabrasion. The treatment stimulates the production of new collagen, helping to form new, tighter skin that is fresh and healthy looking. Laser skin resurfacing treatments are suitable for all skin types and tones, can involve everything from light touch-ups to deep collagen remodeling, and require minimal patient downtime.

Adaptability, resiliency, an openness to surrender and welcoming in a great sense of humor are amongst the many tools needed to navigate the unknown. Reaching out and allowing room to grieve what can’t be, so we can open up to the creativity that can be.
