Laser Skin Resurfacing in Sarasota & Bradenton, FL

Over time, sun damage, acne scars, and fine lines can leave skin looking tired and aged. Laser skin resurfacing offers a way to restore a smoother, healthier complexion without surgery. At American Dermatology Associates, board-certified dermatologist Dr. Jennifer Plush uses the advanced Sciton® Erbium laser to deliver precise, customized treatments for natural-looking rejuvenation. With extensive experience in laser technologies, Dr. Plush and her team tailor every procedure to your skin type and aesthetic goals for safe, effective results.

Benefits of Laser Skin Resurfacing

Laser skin resurfacing works by removing layers of damaged skin, encouraging new cell growth and collagen production. This advanced treatment may help:

• Reduce fine lines and wrinkles
• Minimize acne scars and other facial scars
• Improve skin tone and texture
• Diminish sun spots and age spots
• Tighten lax or aging skin
• Create a fresher, more youthful appearance

The Sciton Erbium laser offers superior precision and flexibility compared to older systems, allowing for targeted treatment with less thermal damage and faster recovery.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Laser Skin Resurfacing?

This treatment is ideal for women and men with mild to moderate signs of aging, sun damage, or textural concerns who want to improve their skin without invasive surgery. Good candidates generally have lighter skin tones, as darker skin carries a higher risk of pigmentation changes. Candidates should not have active acne, a history of keloid scarring, or skin infections. A consultation with Dr. Plush will determine whether laser skin resurfacing is the right choice for your unique needs.

Laser Resurfacing Treatment Details

The Sciton Erbium laser uses computerized robotics to precisely remove layers of damaged skin. The depth of treatment can be adjusted, from a light peel to a deeper resurfacing, depending on the severity of skin concerns and desired downtime. A topical numbing cream is applied beforehand for comfort. As the skin heals, fresh cells regenerate, revealing smoother, tighter, and healthier skin.

Laser Skin Resurfacing Recovery and Results

Recovery time depends on the depth of the treatment. You are likely to experience some redness and mild swelling that subside within a few days to a week. Our team will provide detailed aftercare instructions, including the use of gentle cleansers, moisturizers, and sun protection. Your results should continue to improve as collagen production increases, revealing a brighter, more youthful complexion in the weeks following treatment.

How Much Does Laser Skin Resurfacing Cost?

The cost of laser skin resurfacing varies based on the size of the treatment area, the depth of the procedure, and the number of sessions required. During your consultation, we will provide a personalized treatment plan with a clear cost estimate.
