Laser skin resurfacing stimulates collagen production while removing damaged skin cells to improve skin quality and texture.
It may address:
Fine lines and wrinkles
Sun damage
Uneven skin tone and texture
Acne scars
Surgical scars
Age spots
Enlarged pores
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.

The Right Laser Matters

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.
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 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.

Whether it’s your first visit or your hundredth, booking an appointment at McGuiness Dermatology & Plastic Surgery is fast.
The best laser depends on your skin type, concerns, desired results, and preferred downtime. Some lasers are better suited for early signs of aging, while others are designed to improve deeper wrinkles or acne scars.
During your consultation for laser skin resurfacing, your provider will recommend the technology that best fits your goals.
Some laser skin resurfacing treatments are more appropriate for certain skin tones than others. Your provider will evaluate your skin type and medical history before recommending the safest device that minimizes the risk of hyperpigmentation.
Results vary depending on the treatment performed and how well you protect your skin afterward. While laser resurfacing can produce long-lasting improvements in skin texture, tone, and fine lines, it cannot stop the natural aging process. Daily sunscreen, a consistent skincare routine, and occasional maintenance treatments are what help preserve your results.
