We’ll start you off with an in-person consultation at the Richmond Plastic Surgeons offices, walking you through every step of the procedure, so you can be sure it’ll offer the optimal results for your skin, age, and lifestyle.

What Can I Expect During My Laser Skin Resurfacing Treatment?

You might need some initial skin treatments, as a prelude to your laser skin resurfacing, which often begin about six weeks before your laser treatment. The laser skin resurfacing treatment itself will take between 30 minutes and two hours, depending on the nature and type of the treatment. After each treatment, your skin may be a bit red and sensitive, we’ll be sure to give you detailed aftercare instructions before we get started.
