Laser Resurfacing · Physician-Performed
Laser Skin Resurfacing in Plantation, Florida
Advanced laser technology to reduce wrinkles, scars, sun damage, and skin irregularities. Physician-performed for precision and safety within a concierge care model. All laser procedures at Dr. Berens MD Concierge Healthcare & Wellness are personally performed by Dr. Berens to ensure precision, safety, and optimal outcomes. Laser resurfacing is a medical procedure requiring physician expertise.
Laser skin resurfacing uses focused light energy to remove damaged outer layers of skin and stimulate collagen production in deeper layers. This dual action improves skin texture, tone, and appearance while promoting long-term skin rejuvenation. Treatment can be customized from aggressive full-face resurfacing to targeted treatment of specific areas (around eyes, mouth, acne scars). Dr. Berens determines the appropriate laser type and settings based on your skin concerns and recovery tolerance.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long is recovery from laser resurfacing?
Recovery varies by laser type. Ablative lasers: 7-14 days. Fractional lasers: 3-7 days. Non-ablative: minimal downtime. Dr. Berens will explain expected recovery during your consultation and provide detailed aftercare instructions.
Is laser resurfacing painful?
Topical numbing cream or local anesthesia is used to minimize discomfort. Most patients report manageable discomfort during treatment. Post-treatment, skin may feel like a sunburn for several days.
When will I see results?
Initial results are visible once healing is complete (2-3 weeks). Continued improvement occurs over 3-6 months as collagen remodeling continues. Results can last several years with proper skincare and sun protection.
What are the risks?
Risks include prolonged redness, hyperpigmentation, hypopigmentation, scarring (rare), and infection (rare). Dr. Berens minimizes risks through proper patient selection, technique, and post-treatment care. All risks will be discussed during consultation.
Can laser resurfacing be combined with other treatments?
Yes. Laser resurfacing is often combined with injectables (BOTOX®, fillers) for comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Dr. Berens will create a customized treatment plan based on your goals.
