Laser Skin Resurfacing Treatment


Laser Skin Resurfacing Summary
Skin imperfections such as wrinkles, acne scars, or uneven tone can make skin look tired or aged. At Skin and Slim Medical Center Abu Dhabi, our Laser Skin Resurfacing treatments are designed to restore smoothness, improve texture, and reveal younger-looking skin. Using advanced laser technology, we target damaged layers of skin to stimulate natural collagen production and encourage healthy cell renewal, leaving your skin visibly brighter, firmer, and rejuvenated.
​
Laser skin resurfacing is a non-surgical procedure that uses concentrated light energy to precisely remove damaged skin cells layer by layer. This process encourages the body to produce new, healthy cells and boosts collagen, which helps smooth wrinkles, soften scars, and improve overall tone.
Unlike over-the-counter creams or surface treatments, laser resurfacing penetrates deeper layers of skin for more dramatic and long-lasting improvements. Treatments can be customized to your skin type and concerns, whether you’re addressing fine lines, acne scars, pigmentation, or sun damage.

Why Choose Our Laser Skin Resurfacing Treatment?
During the procedure, a handheld laser device delivers precise pulses of light energy into the skin. The energy is absorbed by targeted skin layers, gently removing damaged cells while stimulating the underlying dermis to produce new collagen and elastin.
​
We offer two main types of resurfacing:
-
Ablative Laser Resurfacing – Removes thin layers of skin for dramatic results; ideal for deep wrinkles and scars.
-
Non-Ablative Laser Resurfacing – Heats the deeper layers without damaging the surface; best for mild to moderate skin concerns with minimal downtime.
​
At Skin and Slim Abu Dhabi, we use advanced fractional laser systems. These treat only a fraction of the skin at a time, leaving surrounding tissue intact for faster healing, less discomfort, and reduced downtime compared to traditional lasers.
​
Treatment Sessions & Timeline
-
Most patients need 3–5 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart for best results.
-
Each session lasts 30–60 minutes, depending on the treatment area.
-
Results continue to improve for 3–6 months after your last session as collagen rebuilds.
When will I see results?
You’ll notice smoother, brighter skin within 7–10 days as the surface heals. Deeper improvements—like wrinkle reduction and scar softening—develop gradually over several weeks to months as collagen continues to rebuild. Results can last for years with proper skincare and sun protection.
​
Downtime & Recovery:
-
Non-ablative treatments – Minimal downtime, mild redness for 1–2 days.
-
Ablative treatments – More noticeable peeling and redness lasting 5–7 days, followed by gradual skin renewal.
​
Aftercare Tips:
-
Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning for at least 2 weeks
-
Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily to protect healing skin
-
Use a gentle cleanser and hydrating moisturizer to support recovery
-
Avoid exfoliants, retinoids, and harsh skincare until cleared by your specialist
-
Do not pick or scratch peeling skin to prevent scarring
-
Stay hydrated and follow your tailored skincare routine for best results
​
With the right aftercare, your results will be long-lasting, and many patients only require maintenance treatments once a year to keep their skin looking radiant.
