Laser Skin Resurfacing San Diego

Aging, sun exposure, acne, and lifestyle stressors all leave their mark on your skin. If you’re dealing with fine lines, uneven texture, scars, or sun damage, laser skin resurfacing offers a powerful solution to help you reclaim smooth, youthful skin. At Daily Glow Spa, we offer laser skin resurfacing in San Diego that’s personalized, physician-supervised, and grounded in a holistic philosophy.

Led by Dr. Lan Nguyen, a board-certified orthopedic traumatologist and one of San Diego’s Top Doctors, our treatments combine medical-grade technology with whole-body wellness to help your skin heal, regenerate, and glow—naturally.

What Is Laser Skin Resurfacing?

Laser skin resurfacing is a non-surgical aesthetic treatment that uses focused light energy to remove damaged outer layers of skin and stimulate new collagen growth in the deeper layers. The result is smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin.

There are two main types of resurfacing lasers:

• Ablative lasers, which remove the top layer of skin to trigger intensive renewal (e.g., CO2 or erbium lasers)
• Non-ablative lasers, which heat underlying skin tissue without removing the surface layer, promoting collagen production with less downtime (e.g., Cutera Laser Genesis)

At Daily Glow Spa, we use safe, effective technologies tailored to your skin’s condition, sensitivity, and goals. Whether you need deep resurfacing or gentle rejuvenation, we’ll guide you to the right solution.

What Does Laser Skin Resurfacing Treat?

Laser resurfacing is highly versatile and can be used to address a variety of concerns, including:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Acne scars and surgical scars
• Enlarged pores
• Sun damage and age spots
• Uneven skin tone and texture
• Hyperpigmentation and melasma
• Redness and rosacea
• Dull or tired-looking skin

It can be performed on multiple areas of the body, including the face, neck, chest, and hands—where signs of aging and sun exposure are most visible.

Types of Laser Skin Resurfacing Treatments We Offer

Laser Genesis (Non-Ablative)

A gentle, no-downtime treatment ideal for treating redness, rosacea, large pores, and fine lines. Laser Genesis stimulates collagen, smooths texture, and gives the skin a youthful radiance.

• Ideal for: Preventative aging, acne scarring, uneven texture
• Recovery: No downtime

Fractional Resurfacing

Fractional laser technology targets tiny zones of skin, allowing surrounding tissue to support rapid healing. This approach improves deep wrinkles, scarring, and pigmentation without full-skin ablation.

• Ideal for: Fine lines, acne scars, sun damage
• Recovery: Mild redness and flaking for 3–7 days

Full Ablative Resurfacing (by consultation)

For more advanced skin aging or deep texture concerns, we offer select ablative treatments that deliver dramatic rejuvenation with longer downtime. These are performed with extreme care and precision.

• Ideal for: Advanced wrinkles, deep scars
• Recovery: 7–14 days, physician-monitored

Each treatment plan is designed based on your current skin condition and desired timeline for results.

What to Expect During Treatment

Step 1: Comprehensive Consultation

We start with a thorough evaluation of your skin health, lifestyle, and aesthetic goals. Dr. Nguyen and our skincare team will determine which laser technology is best for you and create a personalized plan.

Step 2: Preparation and Numbing

For stronger resurfacing treatments, we may apply a topical anesthetic to ensure your comfort. For lighter treatments like Laser Genesis, no numbing is needed.

Step 3: Laser Treatment

Treatment time ranges from 30 to 90 minutes depending on the area and intensity. Most patients describe the feeling as warm or mildly prickly, similar to a gentle sunburn.

Step 4: Post-Care and Healing

Aftercare is essential. We’ll provide clear instructions for gentle cleansing, hydration, sun protection, and healing serums. Redness and mild swelling are common for a few days, depending on the intensity of your treatment.

When Will You See Results?

• Laser Genesis: Subtle results after one session, with optimal results after 4–6 sessions.
• Fractional resurfacing: Visible skin improvement in 7–10 days, with continued collagen remodeling over 2–3 months.
• Ablative resurfacing: Deeper results after 2 weeks, with progressive improvements for several months.

We recommend a series of treatments for maximum benefits, followed by maintenance sessions every 6 to 12 months.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Laser Resurfacing?

You may be an excellent candidate if you:

• Want to improve signs of aging or sun damage
• Are struggling with acne scars, discoloration, or rough texture
• Have uneven tone or persistent redness
• Want a non-surgical way to rejuvenate skin
• Are ready for a personalized plan with doctor-led supervision
• Prefer a long-term, holistic approach to healthy skin

Laser treatments are suitable for both men and women and can be adapted for various skin tones with the right technology and expertise.
