What is Laser Skin Resurfacing?
Laser resurfacing is a skin-rejuvenating procedure that uses a laser to improve the appearance of your skin while treating wrinkles, fine lines, loose skin, age spots, acne scars, sun damage, surgical scars, rosacea, broken blood vessels and more.
The technique directs short, and concentrated pulsating beams of light at irregularities on the surface of your skin. By resurfacing your skin, this advanced laser technology stimulates growth of new healthy skin cells from the inside out.
Treatment Options
Koniver Aesthetics offers advanced laser skin resurfacing with several premier technologies. During your consultation, your practitioner will help you determine which treatment is best suited to your goals and lifestyle. Treatment options include:
CoolPeel™ – advanced skin rejuvenation for use anywhere on the body – uses the brand new CO2 laser technology, the best ablative laser available, to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, diminish sun damage, minimize pores, all while improving skin texture with little to no downtime.
The gold standard in the treatment of wrinkles, signs of aging, skin texture, and other skin imperfections, Tetra CO2 Laser is the only laser technology that can perform CoolPeel™ procedures with its unique pulse control. The high-peak power, short pulse delivers a fractional ablative treatment without thermal (heat) damage to the surrounding tissue. No thermal damage means downtime is highly controlled and minimized while impressive, superficial skin-resurfacing results are delivered.
Fraxel® Dual is the perfect choice for adults who want an aggressive treatment without the downtime that comes with invasive procedures. The original and still the best of the non-ablative laser resurfacing options, it allows us to simultaneously treat both deeper and more superficial indications in the same appointment. Fraxel® can be used to treat anywhere on the body and is safe for any skin type or color. We offer a variety of different Fraxel® options from individual treatments to customized packages.
Clear + Brilliant® is a gentler sister to the Fraxel® Dual that goes a step beyond skincare and chemical peels to make your skin glow. Whether you want to maintain the younger look of your skin, or prevent minor early signs of aging, Clear + Brilliant® can be a smart option for you.
Motus AY Laser Facial utilizes an Nd:YAG laser with a 1064 nm wavelength. This treatment works by stimulating collagen regrowth. Laser facials effectively reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, reduce the appearance of pores, reduce oil production, improve overall tone and texture of the skin, and diminish sun damage. The laser gently heats the dermis located beneath the skin’s surface providing an overall healthy glow.
This treatment is non-invasive and has no downtime or discomfort since it does not damage the surface of the skin. Many patients even describe the 15-minute treatment as soothing. It’s safe and effective for all skin types and ethnicities.
At Koniver Aesthetics, we often combine this treatment with other modalities such as Virtue Microneedling or the Diamond Glow facial for optimal results.
Motus AY Vascular Treatment The Motus AY 1064 Nd:YAG laser (referenced above) can also be used to treat an array of vascular issues (unwanted redness in the skin).
The Motus treats a host of benign vascular issues including facial telangiectasias (broken capillaries), rosacea, cherry hemangiomas, birthmarks, and spider veins in the legs. It does so with minimal discomfort and no downtime.
Where Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) has been a common staple in the industry in the last few decades, the aesthetic industry, and Coastal Skin Solutions in particular, has turned towards treatments of precision and using multiple modalities for best in class results. Motus AY allows us to utilize the precision of a laser versus a more generalized IPL treatment to target specific vascular concerns. It’s not just a one size fits all approach – we will diligently customize the perfect treatment for you.
What to Expect
Before treatment, your practitioner will review the benefits and possible side effects. Your skin will be cleansed and topical numbing cream may be applied, depending on the procedure. Then your practitioner will direct the laser onto your skin, controlling strength and depth precisely based on your treatment plan. After the treatment, post procedure products will be applied to the skin.
During the treatment, comfort levels vary from person to person, but the sensation lasts only while the energy is being delivered. At Koniver Aesthetics, your comfort level is a priority for us. We have found the PRO-NOX™ Nitrous-Oxide (50% Oxygen and 50% Nitrous Oxide mixture) delivery system to be successful in helping relieve anxiety and pain in our patients. PRO-NOX™ is patient-controlled inhaled analgesia which takes effect in seconds, offering immediate easing of pain and anxiety. Since it is patient controlled, you can respond to your pain and anxiety when you need it and, it has the benefit of being a short duration. PRO-NOX™ clears from the body in minutes.
Treatment and recovery times vary based on the technology chosen, the intensity of the treatment, and your individual healing characteristics. Some patients are able to resume normal activities immediately, however if your skin is sensitive, you may experience a few days of redness and puffiness post-treatment.

Laser Skin Resurfacing: FAQs
Can I combine laser resurfacing with other procedures?
Each procedure has its own benefits. Laser resurfacing can be complementary to other cosmetic procedures, such as dermal fillers or neurotoxins. Talk to us at your consultation about how to maximize the benefits with other procedures. For example, we love combining the Cool Peel laser with our RF Microneedling treatment Virtue. This treatment combo is perfect for stimulating deeper neocollagenesis (with the Virtue) which assists in healing the surface damage from the Cool Peel. Similarly, we love using the Diamond Glow facial prior to laser treatments as they increase hydration in the skin.
Are there any issues that would make it a bad time for this procedure?
This procedure may not be suitable for people with sunburn or who plan an outdoor activity immediately following treatment. Also, people with an active herpes outbreak should avoid the procedure.
At what age is it appropriate to have facial laser resurfacing?
Whatever your age, sun exposure, environmental conditions, and lifestyle can contribute to lackluster skin. You can prolong your youthful looks, address early aging signs, and correct pigmentation problems or acne scarring with this procedure.
