Laser Skin Resurfacing

At LenoyMED in Metuchen, laser skin treatment works on two levels at once. The laser delivers controlled columns of energy into the skin, vaporizing damaged surface cells while simultaneously creating micro-injuries in the deeper dermis. Your body responds to that controlled injury the way it responds to any wound by producing new collagen and elastin. That healing response is what does the real work, which is why results continue developing for weeks after the session rather than appearing all at once.

Because laser energy can be dialed up or down, one device treats a wide range of concerns. Lower settings deliver a gentle refresh with little to no downtime, suited to dullness, mild texture, and early fine lines. Higher settings resurface more aggressively for deeper wrinkles, pitted acne scars, and significant sun damage, with a few days of visible recovery in exchange. Most clients fall somewhere between, and the setting is chosen based on your skin type, your concern, and how much downtime your schedule allows.

A typical laser skin resurfacing session at our Metuchen location takes 30 to 60 minutes. You'll notice initial brightening within a week as the treated surface sheds, but the collagen-driven improvements in firmness, scarring, and fine lines build gradually over one to three months. Deeper concerns like textured acne scarring generally respond best to a series of sessions spaced several weeks apart.
