Resurfacing + Pigment Laser Facial in Knoxville, TN

Laser skin resurfacing uses advanced laser energy that targets damaged outer layers of the skin and stimulates collagen production in the deeper layers. This dual process helps smooth wrinkles, refine texture, and promote new, healthy skin cell turnover.

For pigmentation, laser treatment targets excess melanin, allowing the body to naturally eliminate it. This reduces dark spots, discoloration, and uneven tone.

This treatment is ideal for addressing multiple skin concerns at once:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Sun damage and age spots
• Hyperpigmentation and melasma
• Uneven skin tone and discoloration
• Acne scars and textured skin
• Enlarged pores
• Dull, tired-looking skin

Popular treatment areas include the face, neck, chest, and hands, though lasers can be used on other parts of the body as well.

It is possible that your skin may appear slightly red or swollen, similar to a sunburn. As the skin heals, old, damaged cells are replaced with fresh, new ones. Patients typically notice:

• Brighter, more even-toned skin within days
• Gradual fading of pigmentation spots
• Smoother skin texture
• Visible wrinkle reduction
• Long-term collagen stimulation for lasting improvement

To prepare for your laser facial for pigmentation or resurfacing:

• Avoid direct sun exposure, tanning, and self-tanners for 2 weeks prior.
• Stop using retinoids, glycolic acid, and other harsh skincare at least 5 days before.
• Do not undergo chemical peels, waxing, or exfoliating treatments before your session.
• Be sure to disclose any skin conditions, medications, or history of pigmentation issues.
• Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin.

Proper aftercare is key to maximizing your laser skin resurfacing results:

• Expect mild redness, swelling, or peeling for several days, depending on treatment strength.
• Apply soothing creams or ointments as recommended by your provider.
• Use gentle cleansers and avoid exfoliation until fully healed.
• Protect your skin with broad-spectrum SPF daily sun protection is essential.
• Avoid hot tubs, saunas, and strenuous exercise for 48 hours.
• Pigmentation may initially darken before flaking away, revealing clearer skin.

Frequency: Some patients achieve their goals in one session, while others may need several sessions to achieve optimal results.
