Laser Skin Resurfacing

Say goodbye to dull, damaged skin.

When wrinkles, dark spots, or signs of sun damage start to settle in, advanced laser resurfacing can restore your skin’s natural clarity. At Revive Laser & Wellness MD, we use industry-leading technology from Cynosure Lutronic, including Hollywood Spectra™, to refine texture, balance tone, and rebuild collagen safely and effectively. Each plan is physician-directed and customized to your skin’s needs.

What Is Laser Skin Resurfacing?

Laser skin resurfacing is a non-surgical procedure that renews the skin’s surface using controlled energy. These treatments help smooth fine lines, even pigmentation, and stimulate new collagen for long-term firmness. At Revive, we use non-ablative laser, allowing us to treat a range of concerns—from enlarged pores to acne scars—with little to no downtime.

What Does Laser Skin Resurfacing Treat?

Acne Scars

Stimulates collagen production and remodels the dermis, fading discoloration and reducing scars with minimal downtime.

Acne and Active Breakouts

Kills acne-causing bacteria within the follicles, decreasing redness and post-acne pigment while minimizing the risk of scarring.

Wrinkles and Fine Lines

Micro-stimulation within the dermis boosts collagen and elastin, leading to improved firmness, reduced lines, and enhanced radiance.

Hyperpigmentation

Breaks up residual pigment left behind from acne, sun exposure, or inflammation, naturally clearing discoloration and restoring a brighter tone.

Uneven Skin Tone and Texture

Removes damaged outer layers and stimulates new collagen growth beneath the surface, restoring a clearer, more refined complexion over time.

Melasma

Specific wavelengths with minimal heat gently fade discoloration, reducing the risk of irritation and rebound pigmentation for smoother, brighter, more even skin.

Large Pores and Oily Skin

Tightens enlarged pores and controls oil production by shrinking the sebaceous glands and polishing away dead skin, leaving the skin smoother and refined.

Rosacea and Facial Redness

By selectively targeting hemoglobin and reducing vascular activity, the laser lessens redness and balances out tone even on sensitive skin.

Vascular Issues

Gently heats blood vessels until they collapse and are reabsorbed by the body, gradually fading the appearance of surface veins, cherry angiomas, and other vascular lesions.

How Laser Skin Resurfacing Works

Laser skin resurfacing uses controlled energy to renew the skin’s surface and stimulate collagen production beneath it. By combining advanced laser and radiofrequency technologies, Revive can refine tone, smooth texture, and restore firmness—all with minimal downtime. Each system targets different layers of the skin for precise, customizable improvement.

Hollywood Spectra™ Laser

A dual-wavelength (1064 nm + 532 nm) platform used to address pigmentation, fine lines, enlarged pores, and uneven tone while supporting collagen renewal. Spectra offers precise control for polishing the surface and improving clarity with minimal downtime.

Hollywood Laser Peel (Carbon Laser Peel)

A signature protocol using the Hollywood Spectra system. A carbon suspension is applied to the skin, enabling the laser to target surface debris, excess oil, and uneven tone. This controlled interaction polishes the epidermis, clears congested pores, and promotes a more uniform look with no downtime.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many treatments will I need?

Most patients benefit from a series of 3–6 sessions spaced several weeks apart, depending on the treatment type and target concerns.

Redness or mild sensitivity can occur for 24–48 hours, but most patients return to normal routines the same day.

Laser resurfacing is suitable for most adults seeking smoother texture, improved tone, or reduction in pigment and redness. Your provider will assess your skin during consultation.

What makes this different from traditional laser resurfacing?

Revive’s multi-device approach includes non-ablative modalities for visible results without the extended recovery typical of older ablative lasers.
