Red and brown spots usually change color and often scab then fall off revealing clearer skin. Depending on the treatment, some people may have what looks like a severe sunburn. The skin will be raw, oozing and may even blister. A yellow liquid may ooze from treated areas to form a crust. Do not scratch or pick at crusts because this can cause scarring. Usually 5-7 days after laser skin resurfacing your skin will become dry and peel.  You will specific aftercare instructions after your treatment.


Procedure

Most laser treatments are quick and performed in 10-15 minutes.  For deep laser resurfacing a topical numbing agent will be applied prior to treatment.
