What is laser skin resurfacing?
Laser skin resurfacing uses carefully controlled energy to address visible skin texture, tone, and certain signs of aging or sun exposure. Some approaches are more intensive, while others focus on gradual improvement with less downtime. Your provider will help identify an approach suited to your skin and goals.
Resurfacing Options at Glow
Glow offers three resurfacing options: Erbium, Pico Fractional, and MOXI. A consultation helps determine which technology and treatment intensity may be appropriate for you.
Erbium
Erbium laser resurfacing can address more pronounced textural irregularities, fine lines, and some visible signs of sun damage. Healing time varies with the depth and intensity of treatment.
Pico Fractional
Using the Discovery Pico platform, fractional treatment delivers targeted energy to encourage skin remodeling. It may improve the look of uneven texture and certain acne scars, with recovery depending on treatment settings.
MOXI
MOXI is another option for addressing early signs of sun damage and uneven tone or texture. It has its own dedicated Glow page with more detail about the treatment.
Discovery Pico for Fractional Resurfacing
Glow uses Discovery Pico for Pico Fractional treatments. The device delivers precisely targeted laser energy to support skin remodeling, while Erbium and MOXI provide alternative approaches depending on your needs.
What can skin resurfacing help with?
Depending on the laser and your individual skin, treatment may help improve the appearance of:
- Uneven skin texture and tone
- Fine lines and some wrinkles
- Visible sun damage and discoloration
- Selected acne scars and other surface irregularities
Not every option treats every concern, and the recovery period can range from relatively short to more substantial. We will discuss realistic outcomes, skin-type considerations, and aftercare before treatment.
