How does laser skin resurfacing work?

Surgeon uses the laser to send short, concentrated pulsating beams of light at irregular skin. This clears away unwanted, tanned, damaged skin in a very precise way on single application. The laser beam used in laser resurfacing will clear up the outer layer of skin, known as epidermis. At the same time it heats the underlying skin, known as dermis simultaneously. This action works to improve growth of new collagen fibers. As the treated area heals, the new skin that forms is very smoother and firmer.
