Laser Resurfacing Treatment
Laser Resurfacing Treatment
At Face IQ Aesthetics, we offer two laser resurfacing options: LaseMD Ultra and Icon 1540. Both lasers are non-ablative, fractionated lasers that treat aging and sun-damaged skin. They target microscopic columns of skin expediting your body’s remodeling of collagen.
LaseMD Ultra is a 1927nm Thulium fiber laser. It targets the superficial layers of skin and is excellent for improving pigment, age spots, melasma, fine lines, wrinkles, and pores.
Icon 1540 is a non-ablative fractionated Erbium laser. It penetrates more deeply and is best for resurfacing deep wrinkles, acne scars, and stretch marks.
Both LaseMD Ultra and Icon 1540 are most effective when performed in a series, usually 3 to 5 treatments spaced 3 to 4 weeks apart.
Fraxel Dual is a non-ablative fractionated laser that targets aging and sun-damaged skin. Fraxel targets microscopic columns of skin expediting your body’s remodeling of collagen. Fraxel is excellent for improving brown spots, fine lines, wrinkles, pores, and acne scars.

FAQs
Clinical research indicates that usually, the most successful treatment plan is comprised of 3 to 5 sessions, with a minimum of 4 weeks in between. Depending on your specific condition and schedule, you and your healthcare provider may decide to space out treatments further. Results can be seen right away, and they tend to get better over time, with optimal effects showing in a span of 3-6 months. This timeline and session structure allows for healing and the production of new collagen to replace any tissue that has been damaged.
Arrive one hour before your procedure for photos and topical numbing cream. During the procedure, most patients describe an increased sensation of heat. We use cold air to reduce this discomfort. After the laser, you will relax under an LED light mask. This treatment speeds up healing and stimulates collagen.
To further enhance your results, you may choose to have exosomes applied post-treatment. Exosomes are stem cell signalers. They contain over 50 growth factors, antioxidants, peptides, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals to help stimulate collagen and elastin, the main components of young, healthy skin. Exosomes also reduce downtime post-laser.
