Laser resurfacing is an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment that uses concentrated laser energy to remove damaged outer layers of skin while stimulating collagen production in the deeper layers.
This controlled process allows new, healthier skin to regenerate, improving tone, texture, and firmness over time.
Dr. Alexandra Hart specializes in fully ablative resurfacing, offering advanced CO2 and erbium laser resurfacing treatments. She combines this cutting-edge laser technology with careful planning to deliver powerful skin rejuvenation while prioritizing safety, comfort, and natural-looking results.
During the procedure, the laser device precisely removes damaged skin layers while delivering heat to the deeper dermis to stimulate collagen remodeling. Depending on the extent of treatment, local anesthesia, sedation, or general anesthesia may be administered to ensure your comfort.
CO2 lasers penetrate deeper and are ideal for more advanced aging and scarring, while erbium lasers allow for more controlled resurfacing with reduced thermal injury. The length of a resurfacing treatment depends on the area. Patients return home the same day with detailed aftercare instructions and close follow-up from Dr. Hart’s team.
Laser resurfacing is commonly used to improve:
By treating both surface damage and deeper collagen loss, laser resurfacing delivers comprehensive skin rejuvenation.
Laser skin resurfacing is most commonly performed on the face, including the eyes, mouth, and cheeks.
It may also be used on the neck, chest, and hands, depending on your skin quality and treatment goals.
Laser resurfacing offers benefits that extend beyond surface-level improvement. When performed thoughtfully, laser resurfacing delivers results that look natural, refreshed, and age-appropriate.

Customizable Treatment
Laser resurfacing is well-suited for patients with visible skin aging, sun damage, or scarring who are healthy and able to commit to proper recovery. Ideal candidates understand that deeper resurfacing involves downtime but offers more transformative results.
Dr. Hart carefully evaluates your skin type, medical history, and lifestyle to determine whether CO2, erbium, or an alternative treatment approach is best.
Your recovery time will depend on the depth of resurfacing performed. Most patients experience redness, swelling, and peeling as new skin regenerates.
Initial healing typically occurs within one to two weeks, with gradual improvement in color and texture over the course of several weeks.
Detailed aftercare guidance is provided to support healing, protect your results, and minimize risks of complications. Dr. Hart and her team remain closely involved throughout your recovery to ensure a safe and comfortable experience.
As the skin heals, patients notice smoother texture, brighter tone, and softened lines.
Because fully ablative technology penetrates more deeply than fractional alternatives, it reaches the foundational layers of the dermis to address deep-set structural wrinkles and significant textural irregularities.
This intensive approach triggers collagen remodeling that continues for several months, leading to a progressive and profound improvement in firmness, elasticity, and overall skin quality. Results from fully ablative laser resurfacing are exceptionally long-lasting, providing a “skin reset” that can last for years when paired with diligent sun protection and a personalized skincare plan.
Dr. Hart’s approach to laser resurfacing is guided by surgical-level precision and individualized planning.
By offering both CO2 and erbium technologies, she selects the right tool for each patient rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all solution.
Patients benefit from her board-certified surgical expertise, thoughtful treatment customization, access to advanced laser technology, and concierge-level care before, during, and after treatment.
Results can last many years, especially with proper skincare and sun protection.
Neither is universally better. CO2 offers deeper correction, while erbium allows for more controlled resurfacing. Dr. Hart determines the best option for you.
Yes. Laser resurfacing is often combined with a facelift or eyelid surgery for comprehensive rejuvenation.
Fully ablative laser resurfacing can cause discomfort, but the procedure is performed with local anesthesia, sedation, or general anesthesia to ensure your comfort. Post-treatment, patients typically experience a sunburn-like sensation, which is managed with prescribed medications and cooling techniques.
Most patients can resume makeup once initial healing is complete, typically after 14 days.
