Reveal smoother, clearer skin by addressing sun damage, wrinkles, uneven pigmentation, rough texture, and scars at the depth they actually occur. At New You Center, we personalize resurfacing with Sciton TRL Erbium, HALO®, or MOXI® based on your skin.
Laser Skin Resurfacing at a Glance
Reveal Smoother Skin Layer by Layer
Laser skin resurfacing uses precisely controlled light energy to remove or remodel damaged skin and encourage healthier-looking tissue to replace it. Depending on the laser, it can improve concerns ranging from early pigmentation and uneven texture to deeper wrinkles, sun damage, and scarring. At New You Center, we can choose the level of resurfacing that makes sense for your skin and desired downtime:

Deep Dive Into Laser Skin Resurfacing
How Does Laser Skin Resurfacing Work?
Each laser reaches your skin differently, which lets us match the depth and intensity of treatment to what you actually want to improve.
Sciton TRL Erbium
TRL uses a 2940 nm erbium:YAG wavelength, which is absorbed by the water in your skin. That allows the laser to precisely vaporize thin layers of damaged tissue with controlled thermal effects. Because the treatment depth is adjustable, it can range from lighter skin resurfacing to deeper correction. As fresh skin replaces the removed tissue and collagen remodels underneath, wrinkles, scars, and uneven texture can gradually improve.
HALO
HALO takes a hybrid approach by delivering ablative and non-ablative fractional wavelengths during the same treatment. The 2940 nm wavelength creates microscopic channels closer to the skin surface, while the 1470 nm wavelength heats deeper tissue without removing it. Together, these controlled treatment zones trigger cell renewal and collagen remodeling. Healthy skin between the fractional channels remains intact, helping you heal while pigmentation, pores, sun damage, and texture are addressed at different depths.
MOXI
MOXI is the gentler option, using a 1927 nm non-ablative fractional wavelength to create tiny zones of controlled heat without removing the skin’s surface. This energy targets water within the tissue, prompting damaged cells and excess pigment to move toward the surface and shed as your skin renews itself. The healing response also encourages collagen remodeling, making MOXI particularly useful for early signs of sun damage, uneven tone, and textural changes when you prefer a lighter treatment and recovery time.
FAQs
When Will I See My Laser Resurfacing Results?
You may notice smoother, brighter-looking skin once the initial healing period is over. Pigmentation and surface texture can improve relatively early, while changes that depend on collagen remodeling continue developing over several weeks or months. Your timeline will vary depending on whether you receive MOXI, HALO, or deeper TRL Erbium resurfacing.
What Is Recovery Like After Laser Resurfacing?
It depends heavily on treatment intensity. MOXI generally involves a few days of redness and a rough, sandpaper-like texture. HALO can involve redness, swelling, bronzing, and peeling for several days. Deeper TRL resurfacing requires a longer healing period and may include side effects like redness, peeling, crusting, and sensitivity, which may last longer.
Will One Laser Resurfacing Treatment Be Enough?
Sometimes. A deeper TRL treatment may achieve substantial resurfacing in a single session, while gentler MOXI treatments are often performed in a series. HALO can also be customized from lighter to more intensive treatment. Dr. Mudd will help you balance the number of treatments, treatment intensity, and recovery time based on your goals.
