Improve the tone and texture of your skin and fend off the aging process with advanced laser skin resurfacing treatments in Houston, Texas! Laser skin treatments are ideal for improving and maintaining the health of your skin at any stage of life, whether to reverse signs of aging or as a preventive solution before surgery is even needed. While there are multiple ways to resurface the skin of the face, lasers have emerged as a highly effective and continuously evolving modality to achieve this.
Lasers work by concentrating intense light into a beam, and each laser can come in different wavelengths which are used to target specific skin concerns that are more likely to absorb the energy of a certain wavelength. Different lasers and depths of intervention can be customized to provide a range of benefits and recovery times.
