Laser Skin Resurfacing

Home/Leber Skin & Laser Center/Laser Skin Resurfacing

Laser skin resurfacing procedures rejuvenate and refresh the skin with minimal discomfort and downtime afterward. This procedure can also be customized to the unique needs of the patient, based on the size and depth of the skin imperfections to be addressed. The procedure can be used on everything from fine lines and wrinkles to enlarged pores and liver spots.

Laser skin resurfacing delivers high intensity laser energy to the outer layers of the dermis, removing dead, dry skin cells on the surface and leaving softer, smoother skin underneath. Treatment also stimulates the body to produce more collagen, which supports the underlying skin structure for long-lasting results. Plastic surgeon Geoffrey Leber, MD and his aestheticians offer a variety of laser skin resurfacing procedures, depending on the specific needs and desired outcome for each patient.
