Laser Skin Resurfacing Overview

Regain Your Skin’s Radiance With a State-of-the-Art Technique 

Fractional laser resurfacing is an innovative technique that harnesses the power of advanced laser technology to renew the skin's radiance and promote rejuvenation. Through this state-of-the-art method, the outermost layer of damaged skin is precisely targeted and removed, unveiling a fresher, smoother, and more youthful complexion beneath. By creating tiny, controlled micro-injuries, fractional laser resurfacing stimulates the body's natural healing processes, prompting the production of new collagen and elastin fibers. Dr. Bolitho's expert application of this technique ensures impressive results, effectively addressing fine lines, wrinkles, scars, and other signs of aging. As the skin heals, it becomes visibly firmer, tighter, and more even in tone and texture, ultimately revealing a revitalized and youthful appearance.
