Laser Skin Resurfacing
When you look in the mirror, you might notice the signs of time—fine lines, sunspots, uneven texture—that don’t reflect how vibrant you feel inside. You’re not alone if you’ve ever wished your skin looked smoother, brighter, or more refreshed.
At Gardner Facial Plastic Surgery in St. George, Utah, we offer Laser Skin Resurfacing, a powerful way to restore your natural glow without surgery. With minimal downtime and lasting results, this treatment helps you feel more confident in your skin—because you deserve to love what you see.
What Is Laser Skin Resurfacing?
Laser Skin Resurfacing is a non-surgical skin rejuvenation treatment that uses focused laser energy to remove damaged outer layers of skin. It stimulates new collagen production, giving your skin a firmer, more even appearance. This treatment effectively reduces fine lines, acne scars, sunspots, and rough or dull texture.
You can treat the face, neck, chest, and hands—anywhere that needs a fresh start. Each session is tailored to your skin’s needs for natural-looking, noticeable improvements.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
You’re a good candidate for laser skin resurfacing if you have wrinkles, uneven tone, acne scarring, or sun damage. Your skin should be healthy and free of active infections, and have realistic expectations about the healing process and results.
We’ll explore safer options if you have a history of keloid scarring or certain medical conditions. Every treatment plan starts with a conversation to ensure it fits your skin and goals.
What Happens During the Procedure?
We begin with a one-on-one consultation to understand your goals and examine your skin. On the day of treatment, we cleanse your skin and apply a numbing cream to keep you comfortable. Once the area is numb, Dr. Gardner uses a precision laser to remove damaged layers and stimulate new collagen growth gently.
Depending on the size of the area, the procedure takes between 30 and 90 minutes. Afterward, we apply a soothing ointment and walk you through your aftercare plan for a smooth recovery.
What Can I Expect After the Procedure?
Expect your skin to feel like it’s had a mild sunburn in the first few days. Some redness, swelling, and light peeling are normal and usually subside within a week. As your skin heals, you’ll start noticing a smoother texture, a more even tone, and a healthy glow.
Collagen continues to rebuild over several weeks, so your skin will keep improving long after your session. We’ll provide all the instructions you need for a comfortable recovery and lasting results.
Why People Love Laser Skin Resurfacing
Laser resurfacing delivers visible, natural-looking results without surgery. You’ll see softer lines, tighter skin, and a brighter complexion. Many patients love how it revives their confidence, especially when makeup-free skin looks effortlessly radiant again.
Because the treatment boosts collagen, your skin improves over time, not immediately after the session. That long-term payoff is one of the biggest reasons people return for more.
What Does It Cost?
Pricing depends on the treatment area and the intensity of the procedure. During your consultation, we’ll provide a customized quote and walk you through the available financing options to help make this investment more accessible.
