Laser Skin Resurfacing Laser skin resurfacing is ideal for reducing the signs of aging and rejuvenating skin that has been damaged by the sun. This procedure requires no incisions, yet fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth and eyes are smoothed, deep creases and frown lines are softened, and acne scars are minimized. In addition, laser skin resurfacing evens out skin pigmentation and removes skin discoloration. Generally, patients enjoy a short recovery time after laser skin resurfacing.
