What Is Laser Skin Resurfacing?
Laser skin resurfacing at Arijai Aesthetics is a noninvasive cosmetic procedure that uses pulsating beams of light to exfoliate damaged skin cells layer by layer. The procedure is performed for the correction of facial lines and wrinkles and for improving skin irregularities, including acne scars, pigmentation, and more. Sometimes known as a laser peel, laser skin resurfacing is considered an ideal procedure for patients desiring clearer, softer, youthful-looking skin. Our practice performs laser skin resurfacing using the Opus Plasma® and Harmony® XL PRO platforms from Alma, which both feature a variety of customization options to address a variety of common skin concerns. To learn more about laser skin resurfacing and how we can personalize your skin treatment for your unique goals and needs, schedule a consultation at our San Antonio, TX practice today.
How Do Laser Skin Resurfacing Treatments Work?
Depending on the depth of your laser skin treatment, we may give you a topical retinoid to be used in the weeks leading up to your treatment to prepare your skin. Before your session, we may apply a desensitizing cream to reduce any potential discomfort. During your procedure, we'll have you relax in one of our treatment chairs while our laser technician passes the Opus Plasma or Harmony XL PRO handpiece over the area. The laser's intense light energy will clear away the damaged surface layers of skin while boosting collagen and elastin growth for long-term rejuvenation. You will feel heat from the laser, followed by cold air from the system's built-in cooling device. Once we're done, you can get back to your routine, though you should protect your skin from the sun and avoid overexerting yourself for a few days as your skin recovers.
What Are the Benefits of Laser Skin Resurfacing?
Even the most dedicated skin care routine can't stop the long-term effects of sun damage and environmental exposure, which can leave your skin looking flat and lifeless. Laser skin resurfacing at Arijai Aesthetics is a state-of-the-art approach designed to revitalize your complexion while minimizing imperfections with benefits that include:
- Diminished look of wrinkles and fine lines
- Treatment of large pores
- Improvement of rough skin surface
- Reduced appearance of scarring and pigmentation
- Enhanced confidence and self-image
Arijai Aesthetics Reviews
I won’t go anywhere else - so lucky to have this doctor and team - I absolutely love this place! I have been going here since 2019 and haven’t ventured anywhere since. From the moment I walk in, Libby or Melissa are so welcoming along with Chris the office manager. I have been in for Botox, filler, and 360 lipo with BBL. Dr Balgobin is the master of what he does. I feel so fortunate to actually be local to someone that really cares and enjoys what he does. Always adding the latest procedures and the first in the country for permanent booty filler. My friend just had it done and loves it! She also had lipo and no BBL and the ab etching on her is so hot! I’m so happy to have introduced many people here. When it comes to the walk through on procedure, Aftercare and overall experience with the surgery of lipo/bbl I felt in very good hands. Highly recommend Arijai! They have definitely help turned back the time clock for me and I feel so confident. Also I must add the facials, skin pen and ZO skin care are a must.
Karen is the absolute best when it comes to your skin care needs. Quite often, us men do not fully understand the benefits of taking great care of our skin. Karen's services are amazing and I'm always getting compliments on how great my skin looks. I also take my teenage daughter for regular treatments with Karen. My daughter isn't allowed to wear makeup in school and she laughs when teachers mistakenly think she is wearing makeup. She says it's because of Karen's work and is so happy with the results. Do yourself a favor and schedule some time with Karen. You won't regret it!

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does laser skin resurfacing cost?
Your laser skin resurfacing costs vary depending on the treatment type you choose. During your initial consultation, we will ask about your skin problems and wants before discussing the types of laser resurfacing available. Then, we will help you choose your resurfacing method and talk to you about costs. Arijai Aesthetics often offers skin treatment specials and packages, so ask about current specials during your appointment.
What's the best type of resurfacing for me?
Our team can help you decide which resurfacing option fits your needs and goals during your consultation. What treatment is best for you will depend on the health of your skin, any skin issues, and the skin depth you want your treatment to reach. The length of recovery time may also be a deciding consideration when choosing your treatment type. If you are in doubt, it's better to start with a lighter treatment then assess your results and decide if you want something stronger for your second appointment.
How can I help my skin recover after a resurfacing treatment?
Our team will discuss ways to speed skin healing following your treatment. The top rule is don't peel or pick your skin. This can lead to lasting damage like scars. You should skip all hair removal methods on the treated skin, which means no waxing, shaving, or depilatory creams. We will suggest cream to help soothe and heal your skin.
Should I get laser skin resurfacing, a chemical peel, or dermabrasion?
After listening to your concerns, we will help you decide if laser skin resurfacing, a chemical peel, or dermabrasion treatment is best for you. Although they all improve your skin, each has pros and cons. During your consultation, we can discuss each option and recommend your ideal treatment.
How often should I get laser resurfacing treatments?
Depending on the laser resurfacing type selected for your procedure, you may need to wait a few weeks or even a few months between treatments. Deeper treatments will provide longer-lasting results; however, they will require a longer recovery period. You should tell us how frequently you want to return for appointments so we can consider this when choosing a type of resurfacing in your consultation.
