Laser Resurfacing in Burlington

Our laser resurfacing works by improving the texture of your skin using advanced laser technology. One of our expert laser nurses will administer the treatment using the Halo hybrid fractional laser that operates using two wavelengths, ablative and non-ablative These wavelengths work together to treat a range of skin concerns.

These concerns can include reversing signs of aging, sun damage, and the smoothing the appearance of wrinkles. Our treatment prompts the growth of new cells and collagen in your skin. Our fractional laser can also enhance the look and feel of your skin by improving the texture and reducing the size of pores. After receiving treatment, you can enjoy a more youthful looking you.

At Cosmedica Aesthetics, we prioritize your comfort during laser resurfacing in Burlington. Before we begin the procedure, one of our experienced laser nurses will apply a topical anesthetic to ensure you remain comfortable throughout the session. Our laser nurse will then pass the Halo handpiece over your skin.

Laser treatments can take anywhere from an hour to an hour and a half, depending on your targeted areas and unique concerns. Varying wavelengths from our halo handpiece improve the texture of your skin and help you enjoy long-lasting results. The tissues targeted below the surface of your skin regenerate through your body’s natural healing process.

Most of our clients are great candidates for our Halo laser resurfacing treatment! Our treatment at Cosmedica Aesthetics can be beneficial to women and men with a range of skins concerns on the face, chest, and hands, including:

• Sun-damaged skin
• Wrinkles around the eyes
• Brown spots
• Acne scars
• Types of precancerous skin growths
• Enlarged pores
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Dull complexion

During your consultation, our clinic director will meet with you 1 on 1 to discuss your unique skin concerns and develop a customized treatment plan to help you meet your goals.

While we do administer a topical anesthetic before beginning the treatment, it is still possible to feel something. Most clients describe the sensation as a feeling of heat with the occasional prickling on the skin. Generally, our laser resurfacing in Burlington is described as comfortable.

After your treatment is completed, you might continue to feel warm for an additional 30 to 45 minutes. The duration of this warmth varies depending on the depth of your individual treatment. If your treatment targets deeper areas of your skin, you may experience an extended period of warmth in the treated area, but it will fade within the hour.

After you receive a laser resurfacing treatment with us, you can expect to see initial results after about 1 to 2 weeks. Because the treatment stimulates your body’s natural healing process, you will continue to see your treatment results develop over the course of 3 months.

Most of our clients see the pigmentary improvement of their skin within the 2 to 3 weeks following treatment. This is followed by a dermal regeneration phase that can continue to improve for months.

One of the great benefits of receiving laser resurfacing in Burlington is how long your results will last! Our laser resurfacing treatment delivers results that can last for years, with each treatment serving to improve your results and leaving you with even better looking skin.

However, while this is true for many of our clients, the longevity of your results can be impacted by your lifestyle choices. For best results, make sure you’re limiting excessive sun exposure, wearing protective clothing when you’re going to be in the sun for an extended period, and protecting your new, beautiful skin with UV-blocking sunscreen.
