Reveal smoother, more radiant skin with laser resurfacing at Northwest Beauty & Wellness. We use the advanced Phoenix CO₂ laser and the Erbium YAG setting on the Spectrum laser to treat wrinkles, sun damage, acne scars, and uneven texture, helping you achieve natural, refreshed results you’ll feel confident in.
Improve Texture and Reveal Smoother Skin
Laser skin resurfacing is a non-surgical treatment that uses focused laser energy to improve the tone, texture, and overall appearance of your skin. By removing damaged outer layers and stimulating collagen production beneath the surface, this treatment helps reduce fine lines, wrinkles, sun spots, acne scars, and uneven pigmentation. At Northwest Beauty & Wellness, we offer both CO₂ laser resurfacing with the Phoenix laser and Erbium YAG resurfacing with the Spectrum laser, allowing us to tailor your treatment to your unique needs.
Laser Skin Resurfacing Treats:
- Fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes and mouth
- Sun damage and age spots
- Uneven skin tone and texture
- Acne scars and other minor scarring
- Enlarged pores and rough skin
- Dull or tired-looking complexion
- Mild skin laxity and crepey skin
How Does Laser Skin Resurfacing Work?
Laser skin resurfacing works by directing concentrated beams of light energy into the skin to precisely remove damaged outer layers while stimulating collagen production in deeper layers. This process activates the skin’s natural healing response, prompting the growth of new, healthy tissue that’s firmer, smoother, and more evenly toned. At Northwest Beauty & Wellness, we use two advanced devices—each offering unique benefits based on your skin type and goals.
Phoenix CO₂ Laser Resurfacing
The Phoenix laser uses a fractional CO₂ beam to vaporize micro-columns of skin tissue, penetrating deeper into the dermis to address more significant signs of aging and damage. This type of resurfacing is effective for deep wrinkles, pronounced texture issues, and extensive sun damage. It also stimulates collagen remodeling, making it ideal for clients seeking dramatic improvements in skin firmness and smoothness. While the recovery time may be longer, the results tend to be more transformative.
Spectrum Erbium YAG Resurfacing
The Erbium YAG setting on the Spectrum laser uses a 2940 nm wavelength that’s absorbed by water, allowing it to precisely target the skin’s surface with minimal heat transfer to surrounding tissues. This makes it a gentler option with less downtime, ideal for treating fine lines, uneven tone, and superficial pigmentation. Because it removes very thin layers of skin, it’s suitable for clients looking for subtle rejuvenation. The treatment leaves the skin smoother, more radiant, and refreshed, with no extended recovery period.
Advantages of Laser Skin Resurfacing:
- Smoother skin texture with fewer fine lines
- Brighter, more even skin tone
- Reduction in acne scars and other imperfections
- Stimulated collagen for firmer, plumper skin
- Customizable treatment depth for different concerns
- Long-lasting results with proper skincare
- Non-surgical option for skin rejuvenation
Your Laser Skin Resurfacing Session
During your laser skin resurfacing session, we’ll start by cleansing your skin and applying a topical anesthetic to keep you comfortable. Once your skin is numb, we’ll use either the Phoenix CO₂ or Spectrum Erbium YAG laser to target the treatment areas with precision. You may feel a warm or prickling sensation as the laser gently removes damaged skin layers. Depending on the area and device used, your session may last 30 to 90 minutes. Afterward, we’ll apply a soothing product and provide detailed aftercare instructions.
Laser Skin Resurfacing FAQs
What’s the Difference Between the CO₂ and Erbium YAG Lasers?
The CO₂ laser penetrates deeper and is typically used for more advanced concerns, such as deep wrinkles or significant sun damage. It offers more dramatic results with a longer downtime. The Erbium YAG laser treats surface-level concerns, such as texture and mild discoloration, and involves minimal recovery time. Our providers will determine the appropriate laser for you.
How Long Does the Procedure Take?
Most treatments take 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the area being treated and the type of laser used. We’ll give you a more specific timeline during your consultation.
Is the Treatment Painful?
We use a topical anesthetic to ensure you’re comfortable throughout the procedure. Most clients describe the sensation as warm or prickly, but very manageable.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
Some patients see noticeable results after a single session, especially with the CO₂ laser. Others may benefit from a series of gentler Erbium YAG treatments for more gradual improvements. We’ll tailor your plan to meet your skin’s specific needs and goals.
