Get Ready for Wedding Season with Laser Skin Resurfacing

Warm weather is just around the corner, and that means wedding season isn’t far behind. Whether you’re getting married yourself or you’re attending a friend’s or relative’s nuptials, you want to put your best foot forward. That starts with a beautiful complexion.

Fortunately, our team at Metroderm DC: Medical, Laser, and Aesthetic Dermatology Center offers lots of options for helping your skin look healthy and glowing, including state-of-the-art laser resurfacing. 

Laser resurfacing can help you look and feel great for your big event.

Laser resurfacing: The basics

Laser resurfacing uses the highly focused energy of lasers to target the upper layers of dead and damaged skin, gently loosening their bonds so they naturally slough off. Once those upper layers flake away, you’re left with smoother, healthier-looking skin.

Our team uses the advanced MicroLaserPeel® system for laser skin resurfacing, producing beautiful results with less downtime and recovery. MicroPeel gently polishes your skin, reducing or eliminating flaws caused by the sun, the environment, acne, and aging.

We use a topical numbing agent to keep you comfortable, with most sessions taking about 15-30 minutes. Afterward, your face may look frosty, indicating the treatment is loosening the upper layer of skin. You can expect flaking and peeling over the next several days as new, healthy skin reveals itself.

Laser resurfacing works well on its own and in combination with other antiaging treatments, like chemical peels and intense pulsed light (IPL) treatment, enabling us to tailor your treatment for your specific aesthetic goals.

The many benefits of laser resurfacing

Laser resurfacing offers lots of benefits to help you get ready for the upcoming wedding, whether you’re the bride, a member of the wedding party, or an honored guest.

Minimize fine lines and wrinkles

Fine lines and wrinkles are among the earliest signs of aging, particularly around your eyes and mouth. By gently polishing your skin, laser resurfacing smooths your skin, reducing telltale signs of aging without the need for more invasive procedures. 

Reduce scars, including acne scars

Acne can take a big toll on your skin, even after major breakouts are behind you. Laser resurfacing targets acne scars by smoothing scar edges and stimulating collagen production for skin that looks healthier and feels softer and smoother. It’s great for other types of scars, too.

Improve your skin’s overall tone and texture

The uppermost layers of your skin receive the brunt of sun and wind exposure, leaving your skin looking dull and feeling rougher than you want. By removing those outer layers, laser skin resurfacing eliminates dull, damaged skin cells so your complexion looks healthier and your skin feels softer and smoother, too.

Throw some shade at sun damage

Sun exposure is responsible for 90% of the visible signs of aging, due to the ultraviolet (UV) radiation in the sun’s rays. Your skin absorbs UV radiation, which damages your skin’s DNA and leads to freckles, sun spots, and uneven tone and texture. 

Laser resurfacing reduces these issues, resulting in a brighter, more even complexion that looks great in person and in photos.

Boost your confidence before the big day

Beautiful, healthy-looking skin is a huge confidence booster. If you have a wedding or other big event in your future, scheduling treatment now ensures your skin looks its best, so you can enjoy a healthy, radiant glow.
