Laser skin resurfacing treats a wide range of texture, tone, and aging concerns by stimulating collagen and renewing the skin’s surface. At Dr. Yash Plastic Surgery in Dallas, laser technology is customized to address your specific skin goals, whether that’s smoothing wrinkles, correcting sun damage, or improving acne scars.
Continue reading to learn more about laser skin resurfacing and how it can benefit you.
What Is Laser Skin Resurfacing, and How Does It Work?
Laser skin resurfacing uses controlled light energy to improve the skin’s surface and deeper layers.
Depending on the laser type and settings, treatment can gently exfoliate the outer layer of skin, heat deeper tissue to stimulate collagen, or do both at once.
Laser skin resurfacing works by:
- Removing damaged or uneven surface skin
- Stimulating new collagen production
- Encouraging healthier, smoother skin to regenerate
- Improving tone, texture, and firmness over time
At Dr. Yash Plastic Surgery, treatments are tailored based on skin type, concerns, and desired downtime.

What Are Ablative and Non-Ablative Lasers for Laser Skin Resurfacing?
Ablative lasers work by removing tissues from the surface of the skin to remove scars, warts, or areas of rough skin. They can also stimulate the production of collagen to smooth wrinkles and facial lines. Types of ablative lasers include carbon dioxide lasers and erbium lasers.
Non-ablative lasers heat the skin beneath the surface, which stimulates collagen production. Non-ablative laser treatments can also eliminate age spots, spider veins, or rosacea on your face, hands, arms, or chest. Non-ablative laser treatments include pulsed light and pulsed-dye lasers.
Can Laser Skin Resurfacing Treat Fine Lines and Wrinkles?
Yes, fine lines and wrinkles are one of the most common reasons patients choose laser resurfacing. Laser energy helps soften lines by triggering collagen renewal, which restores structure beneath the skin.
Laser resurfacing can improve:
- Crow’s feet
- Smile lines
- Forehead lines
- Fine lines around the mouth
- Early signs of skin laxity
Many patients notice smoother skin after one treatment, with continued improvement as collagen rebuilds.
Does Laser Skin Resurfacing Help with Sun Damage and Age Spots?
Yes, laser skin resurfacing is highly effective for sun-related skin concerns. Years of sun exposure can lead to uneven pigmentation and rough texture. Laser treatment helps break up excess pigment and replace damaged skin cells.
Laser resurfacing can address:
- Sunspots and freckles
- Uneven skin tone
- Hyperpigmentation
- Rough, leathery skin texture
- Early precancerous sun damage (as part of overall skin health care)
These benefits make laser resurfacing in Dallas especially popular for patients in our sunny climate. Ready for a clearer, more even complexion?

Can Laser Skin Resurfacing Improve Acne Scars?
Yes, laser resurfacing is one of the most effective non-surgical treatments for acne scars. By remodeling collagen beneath the skin, lasers can reduce the depth and visibility of scars over time.
Laser resurfacing helps improve:
- Depressed acne scars
- Uneven skin texture from past breakouts
- Enlarged pores related to acne
- Skin discoloration left behind by acne
Multiple sessions may be recommended depending on scar severity and skin response.
Is Laser Skin Resurfacing Effective for Enlarged Pores and Rough Texture?
Yes, laser resurfacing can significantly refine skin texture and minimize the appearance of pores. As collagen rebuilds, the skin becomes firmer and smoother, which naturally reduces pore visibility.
Laser treatment can help with:
- Enlarged facial pores
- Uneven or bumpy texture
- Dull, tired-looking skin
- Loss of skin smoothness with age
Many patients notice their makeup applies more evenly after treatment.
Can Laser Skin Resurfacing Help with Skin Laxity?
Laser resurfacing can improve mild to moderate skin laxity, but it does not replace surgery. By stimulating collagen, lasers can subtly tighten skin and improve firmness.
Laser resurfacing may help with:
- Mild facial sagging
- Early jawline softness
- Crepey skin texture
- Loss of elasticity from aging
For more advanced laxity, Dr. Yash may recommend combining laser treatments with other procedures for optimal results.
Is Laser Skin Resurfacing Safe for Different Skin Types?
When performed by an experienced provider, laser skin resurfacing can be safe for many skin types. Proper laser selection and settings are essential, especially for patients with darker skin tones.
Safety considerations include:
- Skin tone and sensitivity
- History of pigmentation issues
- Sun exposure habits
- Prior cosmetic treatments
During your consultation, Dr. Yash carefully evaluates your skin to choose the safest and most effective approach.
How Do I Know If Laser Skin Resurfacing Is Right for Me?
Laser skin resurfacing is ideal for patients looking to improve skin quality without surgery.
You may be a good candidate if you want to:
- Reduce wrinkles or sun damage
- Improve acne scars or texture
- Refresh aging or tired-looking skin
- Achieve smoother, more even skin tone
