Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between CO2 and Erbium:YAG lasers?
CO2 lasers treat deeper wrinkles and scars with more downtime. Erbium:YAG is gentler, ideal for fine lines and faster recovery. Dr. Hazany will recommend the best option for your skin.
How long do the results last?
Results can last 1–5 years, depending on the laser used, your skin type, and lifestyle. Good skincare and sun protection help maintain results longer.
Does laser resurfacing hurt?
Most patients describe the sensation as a warm or tingling feeling. A topical numbing cream or local anesthesia is used to keep you comfortable throughout the procedure. Any post-treatment discomfort is typically mild and short-lived.
Can it be combined with other procedures?
Yes, laser resurfacing is often combined with treatments like dermal fillers, Botox, or eyelid surgery for more complete facial rejuvenation. During your consultation, Dr. Hazany will review your options and recommend the best combination based on your goals.
