At Dermatology Associates Skin and Cancer Center, we offer laser skin resurfacing to treat sun damage, fine lines and wrinkles, uneven tone, acne scars, and texture concerns. Our team pairs advanced laser technology with thoughtful, patient-first care to ensure optimal results while honoring our long-standing commitment to the Bay County community.
Resurface Youthful, Healthy Skin
Laser skin resurfacing uses targeted laser energy to improve the skin’s surface and deeper layers. By removing damaged skin cells and stimulating collagen production, laser resurfacing in Panama City Beach helps reduce fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, uneven tone, rough texture, and acne scars. Different laser technologies can be adjusted for depth and intensity, allowing treatment to be tailored to mild concerns or more advanced skin damage. As the skin heals, new, healthier tissue forms, resulting in smoother, clearer, and more youthful-looking skin.
What Does Laser Skin Resurfacing Treat?
Laser skin resurfacing addresses a wide range of skin concerns by targeting damaged tissue and stimulating collagen renewal at different depths. By combining controlled surface exfoliation with deeper thermal energy, this treatment helps improve both visible imperfections and underlying skin structure for smoother, clearer, and more even-looking skin over time.
Laser skin resurfacing is commonly used to improve the following concerns:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Sun damage and photodamage
- Uneven skin tone and discoloration
- Rough or uneven skin texture
- Enlarged pores
- Acne scars and surgical scars
- Age spots and pigmentation irregularities
Your Laser Skin Resurfacing Options
HALO
HALO uses hybrid fractional laser technology that combines a non-ablative 1470 nm wavelength with an ablative 2940 nm Er:YAG wavelength in a single treatment. The non-ablative energy heats the deeper dermis to stimulate collagen production without removing skin, while the ablative energy creates microscopic channels to remove damaged tissue. This dual-wavelength approach supports simultaneous collagen remodeling and surface renewal. If you’re wondering which laser resurfacing in Panama City Beach is right for you, contact our office.
HALO TRIBRID
HALO TRIBRID delivers ablative Er:YAG laser energy, non-ablative infrared energy, and broadband light (BBL) photothermal energy through a single platform. Each energy targets a different layer, allowing for resurfacing, heating deeper tissue to promote collagen growth, and correcting pigment when needed. By combining these technologies, TRIBRID treats multiple causes of skin aging in one session to address texture, tone, discoloration, and early laxity.
Contour TRL (Tunable Resurfacing Laser)
Contour TRL is a fully ablative Er:YAG laser meant for deep resurfacing. It removes the outer layers of damaged skin in a controlled manner while delivering thermal energy to deeper tissue to stimulate collagen regeneration. The tunable settings allow precise control of ablation depth and thermal impact in different facial areas. This makes it effective for deep wrinkles, severe sun damage, acne scars, and significant textural irregularities requiring more aggressive correction.
ProFractional
ProFractional is a fractional ablative laser that treats only a portion of the skin at a time, leaving the surrounding tissue intact to support faster healing. It creates microscopic channels in the skin, triggering the body’s natural repair process and collagen production. Because untreated skin remains between these channels, recovery is typically quicker. ProFractional is commonly used to improve acne scars, fine to moderate wrinkles, and uneven texture. Contact our office to learn more about ProFractional and all our laser resurfacing in Panama City Beach.
Advantages Of Laser Skin Resurfacing:
- Customizable treatment depth and intensity
- Stimulation of natural collagen and elastin production
- Improvement in tone, texture, and overall skin quality
- Options ranging from minimal to more significant downtime
- Precision targeting of damaged skin without affecting the surrounding tissue
- Gradual, natural-looking improvement over time
What Does Recovery Look Like After Treatment?
Recovery varies based on the type and intensity of the laser used. Lighter treatments may cause redness and mild swelling for a few days, while deeper resurfacing can lead to redness, peeling, and crusting for 1 to 2 weeks or longer. As your skin heals, new skin forms that is smoother and more even. You’ll receive specific aftercare instructions to support healing.
When Will I See The Results?
Some improvements, such as brighter tone and smoother texture, may be noticeable once initial healing is complete. However, collagen remodeling continues for weeks to months after each session. This means your skin often continues to improve over time, with gradual softening of fine lines, scars, and uneven texture as new collagen develops beneath the surface.
How Many Treatments Are Needed?
The number of treatments depends on the laser used and the severity of your concerns. Some deeper resurfacing treatments deliver significant results in a single session, while fractional or lighter treatments may be performed in a series of sessions for cumulative improvements. Your provider will outline a personalized treatment plan based on your goals.
