Testimonial:
I was nervous about laser treatments, but this was nothing like I expected. It was comfortable, and I started seeing improvements in my skin within the first few weeks. My face feels firmer, looks brighter, and the fine lines around my eyes are fading. I couldn’t be happier.

After only one appointment, some patients may start to see results. Laser skin resurfacing is a noninvasive procedure that usually takes about 30 minutes. It can provide similar results with fewer side effects compared to other invasive or surgical anti-aging procedures. A cooling anesthetic can also be provided to alleviate any discomfort experienced during the treatment. Most people can resume their normal activities immediately following laser skin revitalization.

Frequently Asked Questions
At L.I.V.E. Wellness, our team can help you choose which laser resurfacing option is best for your needs and goals during your consultation. What treatment is best for you will depend on the condition of your skin, any skin issues, and how deep you want your treatment to go. How long you are willing to give your recovery may also be an important consideration when you create a treatment plan. When in doubt, it’s better to start with a lighter treatment to see how you like your results and decide if you want something stronger for your second treatment.Â
The cost depends on the treatment area and the intensity of the session. But what’s important to know is that Alma Hybrid gives better results in fewer treatments, so you often end up saving compared to doing multiple sessions with older devices. Plus, you’re saving on downtime — less time off work, less need for repeat treatments.
During the laser skin resurfacing procedure, you will relax in our treatment chair while the Hybrid laser handpiece glides over your skin, precisely targeting the specific surfaces for improvement. Both the ablative and non-ablative laser energy (each treatment is individualized) is administered within the same pulse onto the skin. This allows for shorter treatment times at our facility and reduces the risk of overtreating the area. Following your treatment, our team will provide all necessary aftercare instructions to ensure you achieve your optimal results.
A member of our staff will give you tips on ways to speed skin healing following your laser resurfacing treatment. The number one rule is to not peel or pick your skin. This can cause long-term damage, like scars. You should skip all hair removal methods in the treatment area, which means no shaving, waxing, or depilatory creams. We will suggest medical grade skin care to help soothe treated areas following your laser skin care procedure.
Based on the laser resurfacing method chosen for your procedure, you may need to wait several weeks or even a few months between appointments. Deeper treatments will provide results that last a long time but will require a longer recovery period. We will take into account how frequently you want to come back for treatments so we can recommend an individualized regimen during your consultation.
