Laser Resurfacing
Laser Resurfacing by Dr. Andre Azar – Reveal Smooth, Radiant Skin
At the Facial Surgical Center, led by the renowned Dr. Andre Azar, we believe that everyone deserves skin that reflects their inner vitality. If you’re seeking a non-invasive yet powerful solution to rejuvenate your complexion, Laser Resurfacing may be the ideal treatment for you. This cutting-edge cosmetic procedure harnesses laser technology to safely remove damaged skin layers while stimulating natural collagen production—the key to firmer, smoother skin.
Whether you’re battling fine lines, acne scarring, sun damage, or uneven tone, laser resurfacing can provide noticeable improvements with long-lasting results.
What Is Laser Resurfacing?
Laser Resurfacing is a precise dermatological procedure that improves skin texture and tone by directing focused laser light to remove the outermost layers of skin. The treatment not only resurfaces the skin’s surface but also activates deeper cellular regeneration, promoting new collagen production over time. The result is healthier, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.
Unlike traditional chemical peels or microdermabrasion, laser resurfacing offers customizable depth, controlled targeting, and faster healing, especially when performed under expert supervision like that of Dr. Andre Azar.
How Laser Resurfacing Works
This advanced treatment relies on controlled laser technology to create microscopic wounds or thermal injuries in the skin’s deeper layers. These micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural healing response, accelerating collagen production and the growth of fresh skin cells.
The procedure typically involves one of two main types of laser:
Ablative lasers, such as the CO2 laser and Erbium laser resurfacing, which remove layers of skin for more dramatic results.
Non-ablative lasers, which heat the underlying skin without damaging the surface, promoting collagen regeneration with minimal downtime.
Dr. Azar evaluates your skin concerns to select the most appropriate laser type and customize the depth and intensity of your treatment.

Types of Laser Resurfacing Treatments Offered
At the Facial Surgical Center, we offer both ablative and non-ablative treatments, depending on your goals and skin condition. One of our most popular and effective techniques is:
Erbium Laser Resurfacing
Erbium laser resurfacing is a gentler yet highly effective ablative method that is especially suitable for treating fine lines, moderate wrinkles, and surface-level skin concerns. Compared to CO2 lasers, erbium lasers cause less thermal damage to surrounding tissues, which translates into:
Reduced healing time
Lower risk of complications
More comfort during recovery
Suitability for both lighter and darker skin tones
This treatment is particularly ideal for individuals seeking subtle but significant facial rejuvenation without the extended downtime of more aggressive lasers.
Laser Resurfacing for Acne Scars
Acne scars can be a persistent reminder of past skin issues, but they don’t have to define your future. Our laser resurfacing for acne scars is one of the most requested services at the Facial Surgical Center. By removing scarred tissue and encouraging healthy skin regeneration, this treatment visibly reduces the depth and prominence of acne scarring.
Dr. Azar carefully assesses scar type—whether boxcar, ice pick, or rolling scars—and tailors the laser settings to deliver maximum results with the least disruption to surrounding skin.
What to Expect During the Procedure
Your laser resurfacing experience begins with an in-depth consultation with Dr. Andre Azar. He will review your medical history, assess your skin, and discuss your cosmetic goals. Based on this evaluation, a treatment plan will be crafted to target your specific concerns.
Step-by-step Process:
Preparation: The skin is cleansed, and a topical anesthetic or mild sedative may be applied for comfort.
Laser Application: Dr. Azar uses a handheld device to pass laser technology across targeted areas. Depending on the type of laser, the session can take between 30 minutes and 2 hours.
Post-treatment Care: A soothing ointment or dressing is applied. Dr. Azar will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure smooth recovery.
Recovery and Aftercare
Healing from laser resurfacing typically involves some redness, swelling, and mild discomfort resembling a sunburn. Recovery time depends on the type of laser used:
Erbium laser resurfacing often requires only 5–7 days of healing.
Deeper or more extensive treatments may need up to 2 weeks.
Aftercare Tips:
Avoid direct sun exposure
Keep the treated area clean and moisturized
Apply any prescribed ointments
Refrain from using makeup until cleared by Dr. Azar
Use broad-spectrum sunscreen daily
Results become more visible as redness subsides and collagen production continues beneath the surface, enhancing skin firmness over the following months.
Long-Term Results and Benefits
With proper skincare and sun protection, results from laser resurfacing can last for years. Many patients notice:
Brighter, more even skin tone
Softer skin texture
Reduced wrinkles and scars
Enhanced skin elasticity
Renewed confidence and self-esteem
When performed by a skilled professional like Dr. Andre Azar, laser resurfacing is not just skin-deep—it’s a transformation that radiates from within.

Ideal candidates for laser resurfacing include individuals who:
Are in good general health
Have realistic expectations
Are bothered by visible signs of aging, sun damage, or acne scars
Are not currently experiencing active acne or certain skin conditions
During your consultation, Dr. Azar will help determine your eligibility and recommend the best treatment approach.
