Reveal a radiant, youthful complexion with laser skin resurfacing in Kitchener-Waterloo at SpaSurgica. Using the advanced Sciton Erbium Joule laser, we treat skin concerns like fine lines, wrinkles, scars, uneven texture, and sun damage. Our customizable modalities—ProFractional, MicroLaserPeel, Contour TRL, and Rejuvenate Combination Skin Resurfacing—allow us to tailor treatments to your skin’s unique needs, giving you smooth, rejuvenated skin.

How Does Laser Skin Resurfacing Work?

Laser skin resurfacing is an advanced cosmetic procedure that uses focused light energy to remove damaged outer layers of skin and stimulate collagen production in deeper layers. The laser targets skin concerns like wrinkles, scars, and pigmentation by creating controlled micro-injuries that prompt the skin’s natural healing process. As the skin heals, new collagen is produced, resulting in smoother, firmer, and more even-toned skin.

Why is This Specific Laser Skin Resurfacing So Effective?

At SpaSurgica, we utilize the Sciton Erbium Joule laser to precisely target skin imperfections. Depending on the modality—ProFractional, MicroLaserPeel, Contour TRL, or Rejuvenate Combination Skin Resurfacing—different layers and areas of the skin are treated, effectively improving texture, tone, and elasticity for a refreshed, youthful appearance.

Laser Skin Resurfacing Options in Kitchener-Waterloo

ProFractional™

ProFractional laser treatment creates tiny ablation zones targeting the skin’s upper layers, specifically the epidermis and upper dermis. By focusing on these precise micro-areas, ProFractional stimulates the body’s natural healing process, encouraging new, healthy skin growth and enhanced collagen production. This treatment improves skin texture, reduces fine lines, and addresses age spots and hyperpigmentation. ProFractional is highly versatile and can be applied to the face, neck, décolletage, arms, and legs.

MicroLaserPeel®

The Erbium MicroLaserPeel offers precise, individualized treatment for skin conditions of varying severity. With treatment depths ranging from 10 to 50 microns, MicroLaserPeel can be customized based on skin concerns and the amount of downtime a client is comfortable with. The deeper the peel, the more pronounced the effects—and the longer the recovery period. This peel is effective on the face, neck, décolletage, arms, and legs, providing smoother and more rejuvenated skin by removing superficial damaged layers and promoting skin growth.

Contour
TRL

Contour TRL (Tunable Resurfacing Laser) is a versatile treatment that addresses deeper skin concerns. Using the Sciton Erbium laser, Contour TRL allows for adjustable treatment depths to tackle more stubborn skin issues like deep wrinkles, acne scars, and severe sun damage. By reaching deeper layers of the skin, it stimulates significant collagen remodeling for smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin. Contour TRL’s customizability means it can achieve dramatic results tailored to each patient’s needs, though it may require more downtime.

Rejuvenate Combination
Skin Resurfacing

The Rejuvenate Combination Skin Resurfacing treatment merges the benefits of both ProFractional laser and MicroLaserPeel in a single session. This treatment is meant for clients seeking enhanced resurfacing and tightening and addresses fine lines, texture, and skin laxity. The combination approach targets multiple skin layers for a thorough laser skin rejuvenation in Kitchener-Waterloo. While downtime varies depending on the peel depth, most clients experience 3-7 days of redness. The result is skin that looks and feels firmer, healthier, and more luminous.

Procedure Details

Your aesthetic provider will start by thoroughly cleansing your skin and applying a topical anesthetic to numb the treatment area. Once the numbing takes effect, the laser is calibrated based on your skin type and concerns. The laser emits concentrated beams of light, targeting the outer layers of damaged skin while heating the deeper dermis. As the laser pulses across the skin, it vaporizes damaged cells, promoting the regeneration of new, healthier tissue. The procedure usually lasts 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the area treated.

Recovery & Results After Laser Skin Resurfacing

Following laser skin resurfacing, you can expect a recovery period that varies based on the treatment’s intensity. For light treatments like ProFractional, healing typically takes 2-4 days, while deeper options like Contour TRL may require up to two weeks.

During recovery, you’ll notice redness, similar to a sunburn, which fades as your skin regenerates. Results emerge gradually over several weeks as collagen production increases, revealing smoother, firmer, and more youthful skin. Most clients achieve optimal results within 2-3 months.

Laser Skin Resurfacing FAQs

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

The number of laser skin resurfacing treatments you need depends on your skin concerns and goals. Some patients achieve noticeable results after one session, while others may require multiple treatments spaced a few weeks apart for optimal results. During your consultation, your aesthetic provider will recommend a personalized treatment plan.

Is Laser Skin Resurfacing Painful?

You may feel mild discomfort during the procedure, but numbing creams or local anesthetics are applied to minimize pain. Most patients describe the sensation as a warm or tingling feeling. Post-procedure discomfort is typically minimal, resembling a sunburn, and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers and cool compresses.

How Long Do the Results Last?

Results from laser skin resurfacing can last several months to years, depending on factors like skin type, sun exposure, and lifestyle habits. Proper skincare and sun protection will help maintain your results. Many patients choose to undergo periodic maintenance treatments to preserve their rejuvenated skin.

What Treatments Complement Laser Skin Resurfacing?

For enhanced results, laser skin resurfacing can be paired with other non-surgical treatments that support skin renewal. Microneedling is a popular companion procedure, as it helps stimulate collagen production and further smooth the skin’s texture. Many patients also combine laser resurfacing with PRP therapy to accelerate healing, reduce inflammation, and boost radiance. Depending on your goals, Dr. Elmaraghy may recommend a personalized treatment plan that layers multiple modalities for maximum rejuvenation without compromising
