Years of sun exposure, aging, and daily life can alter the appearance and texture of the skin, resulting in uneven tone, fine lines, or scarring. Laser skin resurfacing is a precise treatment that removes layers of damaged skin and stimulates new collagen, creating a smoother surface and a healthier foundation. The result is skin that feels firmer, looks brighter, and carries a more youthful glow.
