What Is Laser Skin Resurfacing?
Laser skin resurfacing is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment that utilizes targeted laser energy to enhance the skin’s quality. At our medical spa in The Woodlands, we use a non-ablative fractionated erbium laser, which is designed to stimulate the production of new, healthy skin cells and collagen.
This popular medical spa treatment can be perfect for patients who desire a smoother, more youthful-looking appearance. If you’re interested in non-ablative laser skin rejuvenation, continue reading and schedule a consultation with us today!

What Are the Benefits of Laser Skin Resurfacing?
In the hands of a qualified provider, laser skin resurfacing can:
- Address a variety of aesthetic concerns (including fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, scars, stretch marks, and more)
- Stimulate collagen production for firmer skin
- Improve skin tone and texture
- Require little to no recovery time
Additionally, this highly versatile option is safe for virtually all skin types and areas of the body.
How Is Laser Skin Resurfacing Performed?
During your laser skin resurfacing session, we will cleanse the treatment area and may apply a topical numbing cream for your comfort. The non-ablative fractionated erbium laser is then gently passed over the skin, delivering precise energy to targeted areas. The laser creates microscopic columns in the middle layer of skin (or “dermis”), triggering the body’s natural healing process without damaging the outer layers.*
Session times typically range from 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the area being addressed. Patients generally find the procedure to be well-tolerated and experience only mild discomfort, and most are able to return to work directly afterward.
Does Laser Skin Resurfacing Cause Side Effects?
Following a laser skin resurfacing session, it is normal to experience slight redness, swelling, or a sunburn-like sensation in the treated area. These effects should be minor and subside within a few days. If you have questions about your recovery, never hesitate to get in touch with our team.

The cost of laser skin resurfacing at Pluvia Medical Spa is tailored to each individual’s unique needs. Pricing may vary depending on the size of the treatment area, the number of sessions recommended, and your personalized plan.
