What Is Laser Skin Resurfacing?

Laser skin resurfacing is a controlled procedure that uses concentrated light energy to remove damaged skin and stimulate collagen production in the deeper layers. By precisely targeting texture and tone irregularities, it promotes smoother, healthier skin. At Portland Face Doctor, Dr. Vila customizes each treatment using advanced technology, allowing you to “dial in your downtime” and achieve natural-looking results tailored to your skin goals and recovery preferences.

Our Laser Technologies

At Portland Face Doctor, we offer several cutting-edge laser modalities to meet a range of skincare needs. Each device is selected based on your skin type, goals, and how much recovery time you can allow.

Clear + Brilliant®

This non-invasive fractional laser is ideal for treating early signs of aging, helping to maintain youthful skin with minimal interruption to your daily routine.

Halo™

By combining ablative and non-ablative wavelengths, this hybrid laser treatment delivers noticeable skin rejuvenation while balancing results with a manageable recovery time.

Erbium-YAG / ProFractional™

Designed for deeper resurfacing, this laser targets more advanced skin concerns such as wrinkles, acne scars, and sun damage, offering significant improvements with a longer recovery period.

What can Laser Skin Resurfacing Treat?

Laser skin resurfacing can be used to effectively treat all of the following:

Fine lines and wrinkles
Acne scars and surgical scars
Sun damage and age spots
Loose skin
Uneven tone or texture
Enlarged pores
Brown spots and redness

Combination Treatments for Comprehensive Results

Laser resurfacing is often enhanced by pairing it with other non-surgical treatments. At Portland Face Doctor, we frequently integrate neuromodulators like BOTOX® or Dysport®, as well as dermal fillers, BBL (BroadBand Light), or IPL (Intense Pulsed Light), to improve both skin quality and facial dynamics.

These combinations can address multiple layers of aging—surface texture, pigmentation, and muscle movement—with one coordinated plan and minimal downtime.

Erbium Laser Peels for Customized Resurfacing

Portland Laser Peel

Our “weekend peel” improves texture, pore size, and skin tone with just a few days of downtime. It’s ideal for regular maintenance or as part of a series.

Portland Resurfacing Laser Peel

This peel can be performed alone or combined with surgery and typically involves 10–14 days of recovery for a more intensive treatment of deeper lines, pigment changes, and laxity.

Who Is a Candidate for Laser Skin Resurfacing?

You may be a good candidate for laser skin resurfacing treatment if you:

Have visible signs of aging or sun damage
Are bothered by persistent texture issues or discoloration
Are not currently experiencing active acne

Dr. Vila will evaluate your skin during your consultation to recommend the best approach, whether that’s a light peel or a deeper resurfacing plan.

What to Expect During Treatment

Laser resurfacing is performed at our in-house surgical suite and typically takes 30 minutes to two hours, depending on the area and depth of treatment. Dr. Vila customizes each procedure using advanced technology to match your skin type and goals.

To keep you comfortable throughout, he may use topical anesthesia, nerve blocks, or light sedation based on the treatment plan. Our team will guide you through every step of the process, ensuring you feel informed, supported, and at ease from start to finish.

Your Recovery Timeline

After undergoing laser skin resurfacing treatment, you can expect the following recovery timelines:

Clear + Brilliant®: 1–2 days of redness and sensitivity
Halo™: Moderate redness and peeling over 3–5 days
Erbium-YAG / ProFractional™: Up to 7–10 days of redness, peeling, and healing, with longer-lasting results

Most patients describe the sensation as similar to a sunburn, and any discomfort is manageable with Dr. Vila’s post-care protocols. Your skin will continue to improve for months as new collagen forms.
