Laser Skin Resurfacing
Luxury Del Mar Aesthetics and Wellness
Laser skin resurfacing at CūRA represents an investment in clinical mastery and restorative excellence.
Our unique hybrid platform pairs the structural power of CO2 lasers with the versatility of 1570nm wavelength lasers, enabling a laser resurfacing treatment that can be safely used on all skin types. By delivering concentrated pulses of tailored laser energy, we address concerns ranging from acne scars to deep wrinkles. In our luxury sanctuary, we transform the traditional laser peel into an empowering journey toward lasting aesthetic vitality.
Purpose: To erase sun damage, smooth facial wrinkles, and improve skin texture.
Technology: A hybrid of ablative laser resurfacing (CO2) and non-ablative 1570nm.
Downtime: Varies by intensity; typically 3 to 7 days of social downtime.
Results: Fresh, new skin appears in days; collagen production peaks at 3 to 6 months.
Laser skin resurfacing work involves removing the outer layer of the skin while simultaneously heating the deeper layers to tighten skin. Unlike older erbium lasers or pulsed dye lasers, our hybrid system is a form of fractional laser resurfacing. This means the laser procedure treats only a fraction of the treatment area at a time, leaving surrounding tissue intact to significantly promote healing. By using laser vaporization, we remove damaged skin cells, allowing new collagen fibers to form and resulting in a firm, polished aesthetic.
What is the laser resurfacing procedure like?
Every journey at CūRA begins with a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to your medical history.
To ensure your comfort, we apply a high-potency topical numbing cream to the treated area before the session begins. As the provider glides the device over the skin, you may feel a warm sensation or a light "snapping" as the laser energy interacts with the layers of the skin. We prioritize a seamless experience, wrapping clinical dermatologic surgery standards in the hospitality of a five-star retreat.
Our customizable laser addresses a spectrum of skin problems and conditions.
By blending a non-ablative laser with a CO2 fractional laser, we can safely treat darker skin that was previously non-responsive to traditional ablative lasers.
The laser skin resurfacing treatment immediately contracts the skin. However, the true results continue to improve for up to a year as new collagen fibers form.
For many, this is a preferred alternative to invasive cosmetic surgery. It tightens skin and addresses skin color irregularities with far less risk and a shorter recovery time.
Ideal candidates are those seeking to correct sun damage, stretch marks, or non-responsive skin. Because we can adjust the laser energy, we can treat a wide variety of skin types. We will review your medical history, including any history of cold sores or use of a topical retinoid, to ensure your healing process is safe. We recommend that, for optimal results, patients wait until they can avoid sun exposure during their recovery.
Your recovery time depends on the intensity of your treatment. You may need to manage swelling and redness for a few days, similar to a deep sunburn. We provide a curated aftercare kit and recommend a broad-spectrum sunscreen for essential sun protection. It is vital to avoid sun exposure while the new skin is vulnerable. Most patients find that their treated skin feels fully restored within a week, allowing for a seamless return to their Del Mar lifestyle.
The results of skin resurfacing are profound. Initially, you will see a brighter, smoother surface as the outer layer heals. Over the following months, you will notice a significant reduction in facial wrinkles and a firmer skin texture. These optimal results represent the pinnacle of skin rejuvenation, delivering a vitality that lasts.
