The Right Laser Matters
Not every resurfacing laser works the same way. Some treatments focus on refreshing the skin with minimal downtime, while others penetrate deeper to improve scars, wrinkles, and more advanced sun damage. Choosing the right technology is one of the most important parts of achieving great results.
Patients considering laser skin resurfacing in Plano begin with a comprehensive consultation so our providers can recommend the treatment that best matches their skin type, concerns, and recovery preferences.
Choosing the Right Treatment
McGuiness Dermatology & Plastic Surgery offers several laser resurfacing technologies, allowing us to customize treatment instead of relying on a one-size-fits-all approach.
Halo – combines ablative and non-ablative wavelengths to improve fine lines, sun damage, discoloration, and texture while offering customizable downtime.
Pixel – is a fractional laser that stimulates collagen production to soften acne scars, wrinkles, and uneven skin texture.
UltraLase – provides deeper resurfacing for more significant wrinkles, scars, and advanced skin damage.
MicroLaser Peel – precisely removes the outermost layers of damaged skin to improve tone, texture, and fine lines with relatively short downtime.
How Laser Resurfacing Works
Laser resurfacing creates controlled microscopic injuries in the skin, stimulating your body’s natural healing response. As new collagen develops and damaged skin cells are replaced, the complexion becomes smoother, firmer, and more even.
Because collagen remodeling continues after your appointment, improvements often develop over several weeks and months.
Recovery and Results
Recovery depends on the laser selected and the depth of treatment. Mild resurfacing may involve several days of redness and peeling, while deeper treatments require additional healing time.
Following your provider’s post-care instructions—including diligent sun protection and gentle skincare—is essential for optimal healing. Patients who choose to receive laser skin resurfacing in Plano often report long-lasting improvements and schedule maintenance treatments to preserve their results.
