If you’re noticing the signs of age when you look in the mirror, you may be seeing wrinkles, sagging, and pigmentation concerns, or simply a loss of the youthful, radiant glow you once had. If you’d like to rejuvenate dull, aging skin and turn back the clock, we provide safe, effective, non-surgical laser skin resurfacing in The Woodlands at SGK Plastic Surgery to renew and refresh your appearance.

What is laser skin resurfacing?

Laser skin resurfacing is an advanced, non-invasive skin treatment that reduces wrinkles, age spots, acne scars, and other blemishes, while it also tightens the skin and helps to balance skin tone and pigmentation.

Laser skin resurfacing removes the outer layer of skin while the underlying skin is heated to stimulate the production of collagen, which is your body’s natural way of producing new, fresh and elastic skin. The dead skin peels away over a period of about one week, revealing firmer, fresh and more radiant skin beneath.

What are the benefits of laser skin resurfacing?

Laser skin resurfacing provides a number of benefits for patients who would like to improve and refresh their skin:

  • Tighter, firmer skin
  • More even skin pigmentation
  • Significant improvement in skin tone and texture
  • Reduced age spots, sunspots and photodamage
  • Smoothed, minimized lines and wrinkles around the eyes, nose and mouth
  • Minimized acne scarring
  • Reduced stretch marks
  • Minimized, smaller pores
  • Can be used on many areas of the body
  • Suitable for any skin type or color
  • Non surgical, safe and effective treatment
  • Overall significant improvement to the skin

Am I a candidate for laser skin resurfacing?

Candidates for laser skin resurfacing in Spring TX at SGK Plastic Surgery are men and women who would like to reduce wrinkles, tighten their skin, and achieve more youthful, smooth and rejuvenated skin. Candidates should meet the following requirements:

  • Are generally in good health.
  • Have mild, but not severe, sagging skin or wrinkles
  • Are not experiencing an active acne outbreak or skin infection
  • Are not pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Are not recently tanned from the sun or a tanning bed
  • Do not smoke

What can I expect during the procedure?

At SGK Plastic Surgery, we offer Morpheus8 and fractional laser treatments to provide the very best in laser skin resurfacing.

Morpheus8 is a skin resurfacing and microneedling device that utilizes radiofrequency technology to refresh and revitalize the skin. With the micro penetration into the skin from the microneedling device, the RF energy is more deeply absorbed, which generates a more youthful, tight and smooth appearance. Collagen and elastin production is also dramatically triggered for a long term, further rejuvenating effect.

Our fractional laser treatment delivers precise beams of light into the lower layers of skin, which stimulates collagen and elastin and triggers a natural healing process. This results in the fast growth of firmer, more healthy skin, and long-lasting results. This procedure safely improves skin tone, texture and quality, and reduces the appearance of fine lines.

Recovery after laser skin resurfacing

There is no real recovery or downtime after Morpheus8 or fractional laser treatments. You can get right back to your usual activities and routine once the procedure is complete, but there may be some redness, a tight feeling or some swelling for about a week. Wait one day to apply makeup again, and avoid any exposure to the sun for four weeks after treatment.
