Nearly any healthy adult may be a candidate for laser skin resurfacing. Candidates typically want to correct signs of aging or damaged skin on the face or body, such as fine lines, wrinkles, sun spots, textural irregularities, vascular lesions, and acne scars. Individuals of every skin tone may be candidates for laser skin resurfacing here at Poris Plastic Surgery.
Laser skin resurfacing can be performed on multiple areas of the body to restore a more youthful skin tone and appearance. Most commonly, it is performed on the face, scalp, hands, arms, and decolletage (neck and upper chest area).
Dr. Poris offers a wide range of laser resurfacing techniques, including Moxi™ skin resurfacing treatments as well as the Sciton JOULE™ platform with Contour TRL™ (Tunable Resurfacing Laser), ProFractional Therapy, Erbium laser resurfacing, and BBL™ phototherapy. Treatments are completely customizable, from the gently smoothing NanoLaserPeel™ to the wrinkle-destroying MicroLaserPeel® to the full field deep resurfacing with Contour TRL™. The best technique varies per patient, and several treatment sessions may be needed for optimal results.
The recovery experience varies based on the technique performed. Some temporary redness, slight swelling, and minor discomfort may occur in the treated area. Skin care and sun care should be performed as instructed to protect the treated skin and reduce the risk of inflammation and sensitivity. Additional instructions will be provided to help you have a successful recovery.

Advanced laser rejuvenation for texture, tone, and visible skin renewal.
Laser skin resurfacing is a non-surgical treatment that uses advanced laser technology to improve skin texture, tone, and quality by targeting damaged skin cells and stimulating collagen renewal. Treatments can help soften wrinkles, improve discoloration, refine acne scars, and reveal healthier, younger-looking skin.
At Winter Park Plastic Surgery & Laser Center, we offer laser resurfacing treatments that can be customized to your skin type, concerns, and goals. Whether you’re looking for broader rejuvenation or more targeted correction of skin damage, we’ll help determine which laser treatment best fits your skin and goals to help you achieve smoother, more radiant-looking skin.
You may be a good candidate for laser skin resurfacing if you want to improve:
During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your skin condition, treatment goals, and lifestyle needs to determine whether laser resurfacing or another treatment option is the safest and most effective choice for you.
Laser skin resurfacing can improve skin quality in meaningful ways. Benefits may include:
By addressing damaged skin and stimulating collagen renewal, laser resurfacing supports both immediate visible improvements and lasting skin rejuvenation.
Laser skin resurfacing works by delivering focused light energy into the skin to treat damaged tissue and stimulate cellular repair. Depending on the type of laser, resurfacing can target the skin’s surface, deeper skin layers, or both—helping reduce visible skin damage while encouraging the production of new collagen. As the skin recovers, texture becomes smoother, tone appears more even, and overall skin quality continues to improve over time.
We offer multiple resurfacing options so laser skin treatments can be tailored to your skin and your goals.
In some cases, laser resurfacing is paired with treatments such as Microneedling or SkinTyte to support more comprehensive rejuvenation. We’ll help you understand how these treatments work together and whether a combined approach makes sense for your skin and goals.
Recovery depends on the resurfacing treatment performed and the depth of correction.
After your treatment:
Because the treated skin will be especially sensitive, sun protection is important after any resurfacing treatment. We will provide you with specific aftercare instructions to help protect your skin as it heals.
Laser skin resurfacing reverses the effects of aging by destroying damaged, aging skin. Depending on the treatment technique, the laser may remove the surface skin from the treated area, or it may remove columns of damaged skin (such as acne scars). The body naturally replaces the old, damaged skin with a fresh, healthy layer of skin tissue. Treatment can be performed to various depths to address damage ranging from fine lines to deep creases.
Laser skin resurfacing can correct signs of aging such as fine lines, wrinkles, sun spots, age spots, other pigmented lesions, vascular lesions, and textural irregularities. It can also correct acne scars.
With the Sciton JOULE™ platform, laser skin resurfacing can be safely performed on all skin types. Dr. Poris will determine the safest and best technique for your needs.
Dr. Poris offers a wide range of laser treatments that can be completely customized to meet your needs. Because every patient has unique skin, the appropriate laser technique for you will be personal to you. Dr. Poris will help you understand which laser treatment technique will best help you achieve your skin rejuvenation goals.
Laser skin resurfacing can yield dramatic results. This treatment has been proven to significantly improve and even eliminate many pigmented lesions, wrinkles, vascular lesions, and acne scars. You can expect your skin to appear noticeably smoother, younger, and healthier.
Results from laser skin resurfacing can be long-lasting. The best way to maintain your results is to adopt good skin care practices and wear daily sun protection. Regular laser resurfacing treatments every few years can also help you maintain your results long-term.
All laser skin resurfacing treatments improve skin tone, texture, and visible signs of aging, but each of the lasers works differently and has different applications. Traditional laser skin resurfacing is often used for more advanced skin damage and deeper correction. HALO® is a hybrid fractional laser that treats both the skin’s surface and deeper layers at the same time. ProFractional® uses microscopic treatment channels to stimulate collagen and support surface skin healing. During your consultation, we’ll help you understand which option best fits your goals.
Laser skin resurfacing is highly customized, and the number of treatments needed will depend on the patient, the concerns being addressed, and the type of laser treatment that is performed. Some patients benefit from a single treatment while others may choose a series or maintenance plan. We’ll recommend an approach based on your skin condition, goals, and desired level of correction.
Most patients tolerate laser skin resurfacing well. Topical numbing may be used for some treatments, and patients typically describe sensations such as warmth, heat, tingling, or mild pinching during treatment. We’ll talk with you about comfort measures and what to expect for your procedure.
This varies by treatment. In many cases, patients notice initial improvements within days to weeks, while continued collagen remodeling leads to ongoing improvement over the weeks and months that follow. We’ll help set expectations based on the specific resurfacing option you choose.
Yes. Laser resurfacing is sometimes combined with treatments such as SkinTyte® or Microneedling / Genius RF™ when additional tightening, collagen support, or texture refinement is needed. We’ll work with you to decide whether a combined approach makes sense for your skin.
