Laser Skin Resurfacing
Southlake & DFW Area
At Medrein Health & Aesthetics in Southlake, TX, we offer Laser Skin Resurfacing to smooth wrinkles, improve texture, and rejuvenate your skin for a youthful glow.
What is laser Skin Resurfacing or Laser peel?
Laser skin resurfacing is a non-invasive treatment that uses precision laser energy to remove damaged outer skin layers, stimulating collagen production and new cell growth.
This treatment effectively reduces wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and sun damage, resulting in smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.
Skin Resurfacing treatment options:
Laser peel with Erbium:
Very safe, we use this commonly!
Laser peel with CO2:
Very harsh and aggressive, not safe on all skin types. We don’t have this, and I don’t recommend it.
Dermabrasion
Dermabrasion is a skin resurfacing procedure that uses a rapidly rotating device to remove outer layers of skin. As it scrapes away top layers of skin unveil smoother skin.
Chemical peel
Chemical peeling is an effective treatment for aging and sun-damaged skin that cause dilated pores. In this procedure, a chemical solution is applied to the skin leading to the removal of the top layer of dead skin cells. The new skin is smoother and healthier, with no dilated pores.
Microneedling
It is a minimally invasive procedure in which our physician uses fine needles to make tiny piercings in the top layer of the skin. It activates the healing process of the scar tissue with increased production of collagen and regeneration of skin cells. The resultant skin texture in the affected area is free of dilated pores and looks healthier.
Achieve Remarkable Results with Laser Skin Resurfacing
- Removes fine lines and wrinkles
Fine/ deep lines and wrinkles happen due to aging. Laser skin resurfacing targets these lines and wrinkles. By reducing these, you’ll look younger, brighter, healthier, and smoother. - Removes spots, redness, or uneven skin tone/ texture
With laser skin resurfacing, you’ll have a more balanced skin tone by eliminating discolored spots and improving skin pigmentation. - Tightens your facial skin and encourages collagen
Laser skin resurfacing enhances skin tone and promotes more collagen in treated areas. It makes your skin firmer, rejuvenated and youthful. - Reduces signs of acne scars, surgical scars, or any other scars
The results may vary, but laser skin resurfacing is great for minimizing scars, reducing their visibility, and improving skin texture.
- Reduce the appearance of blemishes
Prominent blood vessels are blemishes caused by sun exposure and skin irritations, but with laser skin resurfacing, you can remove these blemishes easily. - Reduce the size of Dilated/ enlarged pores
Our Laser skin resurfacing treatment can make enlarged pores much smaller, making your skin appear smooth and well-toned.
Dilated pores are essentially caused due to clogging of pores. The pores are clogged with dead skin cells that form a protein consisting of keratin and sebum. This protein blocks the opening, thus causing the pore to expand or dilate. When exposed to the air, the keratin plug gets oxidized, and this results in the pore taking a black or blue color.
Common Areas That Can Be Treated with Laser Skin Resurfacing
- Fine lines/ Wrinkles
- Dilated/ Enlarged Pores
- Uneven skin texture
- Age Spots
- Sunspots/ Sun Damage
- Birthmarks
- Acne scars
- Surgical Scars/ Hypertrophic Scars/ Keloids

How Does Laser Skin Resurfacing Work?
Laser skin resurfacing involves these steps:
- The top skin layers are gently removed using laser light, revealing the underlying healthy skin.
- Fresher, firmer, and healthier tissue replaces the precise micro-ablated channels as new skin forms.
- Moreover, the laser triggers a skin-tightening effect.
Laser skin resurfacing or Fractional Rejuvenation
Recent developments in laser technology are now delivering a longer lasting and scientifically proven method of restoring the natural beauty of the skin. Unlike traditional treatments such as dermabrasion and chemical peels, the unique
characteristics of laser skin resurfacing allow more accurate and precise control over the treatment process.
Skin resurfacing and rejuvenation treatments can be performed either in ablative modes with an Er:YAG laser or non-ablatively with a Nd:YAG laser. Ablative and non-ablative laser treatments can also
be combined into a comprehensive anti-aging treatment, such as Fotona’s TwinLight® Fractional Rejuvenation system.
Our Simple 3-Step Approach
TwinLight® Fractional Rejuvenation is a straightforward three-step process that improves skin smoothness and gives it a younger, healthier appearance. The deep heating impact of Fotona’s Nd:YAG laser beam rejuvenates and stimulates the skin, while the Er:YAG beam aids the body in the formation of new, tighter skin.
Conditioning (Step 1):
The surface is illuminated by a Nd:YAG beam. The first pass stimulates the skin briefly, while the second pass penetrates the tissue, generating deep FRAC3® heating and conditioning for successful fractional treatment therapy.
Fractional therapy (Step 2):
A fractional Er:YAG laser is used to remove old, worn-out skin. As new skin grows, the exact micro-ablated channels will be replaced with new, tighter, and healthier tissue.
Peeling (Step 3):
The skin is ablated with a light full Er:YAG beam to complete the therapy and erase surface flaws.
Using fractional light to rejuvenate your skin can result in an outcome that is properly calibrated to your expectations, as well as a level of control and efficacy that allows for very accurate skin sculpting.

During and After Procedures of Ablative Laser Skin Resurfacing
During the Ablative laser skin resurfacing procedure
Our team will numb the skin with medication. An intense laser beam of light is directed at your skin during the procedure. At the same time, the laser starts to heat the underlying skin, stimulating collagen production over time and resulting in better skin tone.
After the laser skin resurfacing procedure
Post-procedure, some patients have experienced signs of sensitivity including swelling, redness, and with a burning sensation on the treated skin. We will support your healing process with patient specific aftercare treatment. You may be prescribed ointment and pain relievers. For some patients, we advise using ice packs and applying corticosteroid cream.
New skin usually covers the area in one or two weeks; full recovery takes a month. During this time, do not use any cosmetic products that create irritation. Also, avoid sun exposure, and situations that increase the risk of infection. Always use sun protection post-treatment.

Skin Differences Between CO₂ and Erbium Lasers (We Use Erbium)
Both CO₂ and Erbium lasers are used for skin resurfacing, but they differ in depth of penetration, recovery time, and overall skin effects.
CO₂ Laser (Carbon Dioxide):
- Deeper penetration—removes entire layers of skin for aggressive resurfacing.
- Best for severe wrinkles, deep scars, and extensive sun damage.
- Higher risk of hyperpigmentation and longer downtime (up to 2 weeks) due to intense heat.
- Can cause more redness, swelling, and peeling, requiring extended recovery time.
Erbium Laser (We Use This):
- More precise and controlled resurfacing, removes less heat-damaged tissue, making it safer for all skin types.
- Targets fine lines, mild-to-moderate wrinkles, acne scars, and pigmentation with less downtime (3–7 days).
- Less risk of hyperpigmentation and post-treatment complications, making it ideal for darker skin tones.
- Stimulates collagen production while keeping the surrounding tissue intact, leading to faster healing and a more natural result.
Why We Use Erbium
- Erbium laser offers effective resurfacing with less downtime, lower risk of pigmentation issues, and more natural-looking rejuvenation, making it the safer and preferred choice for most skin types.
