Brand: W Cosmetic Surgery
Rating: 4.9 (88 reviews)

Laser skin resurfacing uses focused light energy to increase skin firmness, reduce the appearance of wrinkles or facial scars, address skin discolorations, and tighten skin to create a rejuvenated, more youthful appearance.

What is Laser Skin Resurfacing?

Laser skin resurfacing is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses focused light energy technology to remove damaged outer layers of skin, promoting collagen production and revealing healthier skin underneath. This treatment can reduce fine lines and wrinkles, smooth the look of acne scars, and resolve uneven pigmentation. The advanced laser treatment can tighten the skin by triggering natural collagen production. Dr. Wulc’s personalized approach ensures that each treatment is customized to deliver beautiful, natural-looking results.

Ablative vs. Non-Ablative Laser Technology

At W Cosmetic Surgery™, we offer both ablative and non-ablative laser skin resurfacing technologies, allowing us to treat a wide range of skin issues for custom-tailored results.

Non-Ablative Laser Skin Resurfacing

This less invasive treatment works by creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin and leaving the surrounding skin intact. This approach promotes collagen production and helps improve the appearance of mild sun damage, uneven skin tone, acne scars, and fine lines with minimal downtime. Non-ablative treatments are typically performed in a private room at our clinic.

Ablative Laser Skin Resurfacing

For patients seeking dramatic improvements, ablative lasers remove the upper skin layer to treat deeper wrinkles, significant sun damage, uneven skin texture, and more severe facial scars. This method involves a more prolonged recovery but yields more substantial results. Ablative treatments are typically performed in a state-of-the-art surgical suite to ensure a safe and comfortable experience.

What to Expect During Recovery

After your laser skin resurfacing treatment in the Philadelphia & Plymouth Meeting, PA area, Dr. Wulc and his team will provide advanced post-treatment care to support optimal healing. Depending on whether you received an ablative or non-ablative treatment, your recovery process will vary slightly:

Non-Ablative Recovery

Mild redness and swelling may occur following non-ablative laser treatments, but most patients can return to normal activities within a few days. We recommend gentle skincare products to soothe and protect your skin as it heals.

Ablative Recovery

The skin will need more time to heal after ablative laser resurfacing. You may experience redness, swelling, and a mild tightness or discomfort that may last several weeks. Our team will apply cooling compresses and emollient products immediately after the procedure to begin the healing process. You will also receive specific aftercare instructions, including gentle cleansers, compresses, and ointments to promote healing.

You will have follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and recommend additional treatments to enhance results and reduce redness if needed.

Aftercare

Proper post-procedure care is essential to achieving the best results from your laser skin resurfacing treatment. Dr. Wulc and his team will provide a personalized aftercare regimen to help soothe the skin and speed healing.

The regimen may include the following:

Antibiotics and antiviral medications to prevent infection
Light-based treatments six weeks post-procedure to reduce any residual redness
Sunscreen application daily to protect your healing skin and avoid hyperpigmentation
Tylenol® for managing discomfort, if needed

We prioritize your recovery, and our team will be available to address any concerns or provide additional guidance during the healing process.
