About This Treatment
What is Laser Resurfacing?
Laser resurfacing is a powerful skin renewal treatment that uses ablative or non-ablative fractional laser energy to precisely target damaged skin layers, stimulate collagen production, and remove fine lines, scars, and pigmentation. The controlled micro-injury triggers the body's natural wound healing response, replacing damaged cells with fresh, healthier skin. At The One Clinic, all treatments are tailored to your skin type and concerns by our expert medical team.
Quick Facts
Laser Resurfacing at a Glance
Our Approach
Our Laser Resurfacing Approach
At The One Clinic, our approach to laser resurfacing combines precise technology with expert clinical assessment to deliver safe, effective, and personalised skin renewal results every time.
Skin Assessment & Protocol Design
Every patient's skin is unique. Our doctors assess your skin type, concerns, Fitzpatrick scale, and medical history to configure the exact laser wavelength, energy level, and treatment depth for your skin.
Fractional Laser Treatment
Using fractional laser technology, micro-columns of controlled thermal energy are delivered into the skin. This ablates damaged surface cells while stimulating the dermis to produce fresh collagen and elastin.
Post-Laser Skin Recovery
The untreated zones surrounding each micro-column accelerate the healing process. Our team guides you through a tailored recovery plan, ensuring your skin regenerates smoothly for the best possible outcome.
The Outcome
Precise laser assessment, targeted fractional treatment, and guided post-laser recovery combine to deliver smoother, clearer, firmer skin , with results continuing to improve for months as new collagen matures.
What to Expect
Your Treatment Journey
Consultation
A thorough review of your skin type, concerns, and aesthetic goals allows our doctor to design a personalised laser resurfacing protocol, including laser type, depth, and treatment areas.
Pre-treatment Prep
The skin is thoroughly cleansed and a topical anaesthetic is applied for maximum comfort. Protective eyewear is provided and the treatment area is carefully mapped.
Laser Session
The fractional laser delivers precise columns of controlled energy, removing damaged skin layers and triggering deep collagen remodelling. Treatment takes 30 to 90 minutes depending on the area.
Recovery & Reveal
Soothing products are applied and detailed aftercare instructions are provided. As the skin heals over 3 to 7 days, new, fresher skin is gradually revealed beneath the surface.
Laser Resurfacing Benefits
Reduces Fine Lines & Wrinkles
Laser energy precisely removes aged skin layers and stimulates deep collagen production, visibly smoothing wrinkles and expression lines.
Improves Skin Texture
Rough, uneven skin texture is refined as new skin cells replace damaged ones, leaving a smoother, softer surface with a more radiant appearance.
Reduces Pigmentation
Sun spots, age spots, and uneven skin tone are targeted by the laser energy, breaking down excess melanin and revealing a more uniform complexion.
Minimises Scars
Acne scars, surgical scars, and post-inflammatory marks are visibly improved as laser resurfacing breaks down scar tissue and promotes healthy skin renewal.
Stimulates Collagen
The controlled micro-injury response triggers a cascade of natural collagen and elastin production that continues for months, improving firmness and elasticity over time.
Long-lasting Results
The new collagen stimulated by laser resurfacing continues to mature for months after treatment. With good sun protection and skincare, results can last several years.
Is This Right for You?
Who Is Suitable for Laser Resurfacing?
Laser resurfacing may be right for you if you have:
- Ageing skin with visible fine lines, wrinkles, or loss of firmness
- Sun damage, age spots, or uneven pigmentation
- Acne scars, surgical scars, or textural irregularities
- Rough, dull, or uneven skin texture across the face or neck
- Those seeking long-lasting skin renewal under expert medical supervision
Laser resurfacing may NOT be suitable if you have:
- Active acne breakouts or rosacea flares
- Isotretinoin (Roaccutane) use within the past 6 months
- Darker skin tones with certain laser types (assessed at consultation)
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Active skin infections or open wounds in the treatment area
If you are unsure, book a consultation and our team will assess your skin and confirm whether laser resurfacing is the right treatment for you.
How Does Laser Resurfacing Work?
Fractional laser resurfacing creates thousands of tiny micro-columns of controlled thermal damage in the skin. Each column penetrates through the epidermis into the dermis, triggering a powerful collagen remodelling and new skin cell generation response. The surrounding untreated zones remain intact, acting as reservoirs of healthy tissue that accelerate the healing process.
This dual action , ablating damaged surface cells while stimulating the deeper dermis , is what makes fractional laser resurfacing so effective for a wide range of concerns. The fibroblasts activated by the treatment continue producing fresh collagen and elastin for months after the session, with visible improvements developing progressively as the new tissue matures.

Post-Treatment
What to Expect After Laser Resurfacing
When Will You See Results?
Redness and swelling are normal for 3 to 5 days post-treatment. Skin begins to peel between days 3 and 7 as the surface renews. Fresh new skin is typically revealed by days 7 to 10 with improved tone and texture already visible.
Full collagen remodelling results continue to develop over 2 to 6 months. Results from a single session can last several years with good sun protection.
Side Effects
Laser resurfacing is a medical procedure with a predictable healing process. Common temporary effects include:
- Redness and swelling for 3 to 5 days
- Skin peeling and flaking between days 3 and 7
- Increased skin sensitivity during healing
- Mild itching or tightness as new skin forms
These effects are a normal part of the skin renewal process and typically resolve within 7 to 10 days.
Aftercare Tips
- Keep skin moisturised , do not pick or scratch peeling skin
- Apply SPF 50 every day once the skin has healed
- Avoid direct sun exposure for at least 4 weeks
- Do not use retinoids or active skincare for 2 to 4 weeks
- Attend your follow-up so our team can monitor your healing
Skin Concerns
Skin Concerns Addressed by Laser Resurfacing
Laser resurfacing tackles a wide spectrum of skin concerns, from surface imperfections to deep structural changes beneath the skin.
Fine Lines & Wrinkles
Smooth and soften deep-set lines and surface wrinkles with precision laser energy that rebuilds the skin's collagen scaffold.
Acne Scars
Break down ice-pick, rolling, and boxcar scars while stimulating the fresh tissue growth needed to restore an even skin surface.
Sun Damage & Pigmentation
Target stubborn sun spots, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and blotchy skin tone for a clearer, more uniform complexion.
Uneven Skin Texture
Resurface rough, bumpy, or coarse skin, replacing damaged cells with fresh new ones for a noticeably smoother, more refined finish.
Large Pores
Minimise the appearance of enlarged pores as laser-stimulated collagen tightens and firms the surrounding skin structure.
Skin Laxity
Tighten and firm loose or crepey skin on the face and neck as new collagen and elastin fibres remodel the deeper dermis.
Age Spots
Fade flat brown spots caused by cumulative sun exposure, restoring a younger-looking, more even complexion without surgery.
