Laser Resurfacing
Renew. Refine. Reveal.
Healthy skin is smooth, resilient, evenly toned, and supported by a strong structural foundation including collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. Over time, sun exposure, environmental stress, and the natural aging process gradually weaken that foundation, leading to fine lines, rough texture, enlarged pores, scars, and uneven pigmentation.
Non-ablative laser resurfacing improves skin from within. Rather than removing the entire surface, it delivers precise fractional energy into the skin, stimulating your body's natural production of collagen and elastin while leaving surrounding tissue intact for faster healing and significantly less downtime than traditional ablative resurfacing.
At SkinMed Institute, laser resurfacing is never a standardized procedure. Every treatment is personally designed by Dr. Mona Sadeghpour, a board-certified dermatologist and fellowship-trained laser surgeon, based on your skin biology, skin tone, concerns, and recovery goals.
The Science of Skin Renewal
Healthy Skin Begins Beneath the Surface.
Laser resurfacing does more than improve how skin looks—it stimulates your skin's natural repair process.
Following treatment, your body begins replacing damaged cells while producing new collagen and elastin, gradually improving skin texture, firmness, fine lines, scars, and overall skin quality. Research has shown that non-ablative fractional lasers support healthier skin by strengthening the skin barrier, improving hydration, and promoting long-term tissue remodeling.
Emerging scientific research is now suggests that certain resurfacing laser treatments may even encourage aging skin cells to function in a healthier, more youthful way, including not only helping to remove pre-cancerous cells but reducing the long-term risk of non-melanoma skin cancer. While this research continues to evolve, it reinforces what decades of clinical experience have shown: meaningful skin rejuvenation comes from rebuilding the skin—not simply resurfacing it.
Because collagen remodeling continues for months after treatment, results develop gradually and naturally over time.
What Laser Resurfacing Can Improve
Laser resurfacing can improve:
Fine lines and early wrinkles
Uneven skin texture
Enlarged pores
Sun damage and uneven pigmentation
Actinic keratosis
Dullness and loss of radiance
Acne, surgical, and traumatic scars
Keloids
Crepey skin and early loss of firmness
Overall skin quality
Treatment is most commonly performed on the face, but may also be used on the neck, chest, hands, back, and other areas affected by sun damage or scarring.
Our Philosophy: Build a skin that is not only more radiant, but one that is stronger from within.
Laser resurfacing is not a single treatment—it's a category of technologies, each designed to target different structures within the skin.
Successful treatment depends on understanding what needs to be treated, how deeply it extends, your skin tone, your healing response, and the amount of downtime you're comfortable with.
Rather than automatically recommending the strongest treatment, Dr. Sadeghpour carefully selects the technology, wavelength, treatment depth, and intensity that will safely deliver the greatest long-term improvement for your individual skin.
Our Treatment Toolkit
Fraxel® Dual
Fraxel Dual combines two complementary wavelengths that allow treatment to be customized to different layers of the skin.
1550 nm stimulates deeper collagen remodeling to improve fine lines, acne scars, surgical scars, texture, and early skin laxity.
1927 nm targets more superficial concerns including sun damage, actinic keratoses, uneven pigmentation, and rough skin texture.
The wavelengths may be used individually or combined depending on your goals.
PicoWay® Resolve
PicoWay Resolve delivers ultra-short picosecond energy to stimulate skin remodeling with minimal surrounding heat.
Depending on your skin type and concerns, it may be an excellent option for:
Acne scars
Fine lines
Enlarged pores
Uneven texture
Selected pigmentary concerns
Fraxel and PicoWay are not interchangeable. Each interacts with the skin differently, and the best choice depends on your diagnosis, skin biology, and treatment goals.
The SkinMed Institute Difference
Expertise That Goes Beyond the Device
Owning advanced laser technology is only one part of successful laser resurfacing. Knowing which laser to use, when to use it, and when not to is what ultimately determines both safety and results.
As a board-certified dermatologist and fellowship-trained laser surgeon, Dr. Mona Sadeghpour combines expertise in laser physics, skin biology, and skin of color to design individualized treatment plans for every patient.
Her academic work includes peer-reviewed research, textbook chapters, clinical trials, and national physician education in laser surgery, scar revision, pigmentation, and cosmetic dermatology. She has been invited to lecture nationally on laser treatment, combination therapies, and evidence-based approaches to cosmetic dermatology, ensuring every recommendation reflects the latest scientific understanding—not simply the latest technology. Her experience and judgement shapes every stage of your treatment — from selecting the device and wavelength to calibrating depth, density, and intensity for your individual skin.
