Results
The results of using either skin laser in Tulsa can show almost immediately. Because laser treatment penetrates deeper into the skin than a traditional facial, we can efficiently treat scars and other deep skin flaws in just one treatment! Generally, our patients need about 7-14 days to recover from a skin laser treatment. With the non-ablative ResurFX laser, patients usually need about three sessions to achieve their goals.
Side effects of either skin laser may include redness, dryness, peeling, or flaking. Side effects of the ResurFX skin laser system may also include itching.

Immediate Effects
Certain patients have reported that they notice a positive change to the appearance of the treated area after just one skin laser treatment!
Frequently asked questions
- What's the difference between ablative (CO2) and non-ablative (ResurFX)? >
- Ablative lasers are used to treat deeper skin flaws, as its frequency is designed to penetrate deeper into the skin. This could include conditions like scars, warts, matured wrinkles, and other deeper skin flaws. Non-ablative lasers provide more effective treatment for surface-level conditions, such as redness, hyperpigmentation, broken capillaries, and rosacea.
- Can I use laser skin resurfacing for stretch mark removal? >
- While laser resurfacing can certainly help with the depth and appearance of stretch marks, laser technology cannot completely remove stretch marks. This is because stretch marks represent permanent damage to the dermis, which can only be removed with surgery.
- Do skin lasers hurt? >
- Some would describe the sensation of a skin laser as a "snapping" - however, our team will do everything we can to ensure your comfort during your skin laser resurfacing session. We are capable of applying a topical or injected local anesthetic. You may also choose to use relaxation medication before or after treatment to ease any additional discomfort. If you are being treated with the CO2 laser, you may experience a sensitivity in the treated area for up to 3 months. However, we will provide you with extensive aftercare instructions to help reduce this tenderness.
- If I have a darker skin tone, can I still get treated with a skin laser in Tulsa? >
- Laser skin resurfacing may not be the ideal treatment for those with a darker skin tone. This treatment involves a prolonged healing on the surface of the skin, and in pigmented skin can lead to hyperpigmentation.
