At some point, we all look in the mirror and think: “My skin just doesn’t look like it used to.” Maybe it’s uneven texture, rough patches, sun damage, enlarged pores, fine lines, or laxity that’s crept in over time. These are the signs that your skin’s collagen and elastin are slowing down and while great skincare can support your glow, it can’t fix these deeper issues.
That’s where resurfacing comes in.
At Derma Health, we believe in treating the root causes, not just the symptoms. Resurfacing treatments are your secret weapon for rebuilding healthy skin from the inside out. And like most things worth doing, it’s not a one-and-done. It’s a journey but one that’s entirely worth it.
Let’s break down the options and what makes each one unique.
Why Resurfacing Is Essential for Skin Transformation
Resurfacing is about more than just a temporary refresh. It’s a targeted, high-performance way to:
- Improve skin texture and smoothness
- Even out skin tone and pigmentation
- Stimulate collagen for firmer, tighter skin
- Minimize pore size and acne scars
- Soften fine lines and wrinkles
- Repair sun damage and environmental stress
Skincare helps maintain the health of your skin’s surface but it can’t rebuild collagen, reset pigment cells, or trigger deep dermal healing. That’s where laser and microneedling treatments step in: they create controlled injury beneath the skin’s surface, which stimulates your body to repair and renew.
Your Resurfacing Options at Derma Health
Skin is unique, which is why we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all treatment plans. When you come in for a consultation, our licensed providers take the time to evaluate your skin, goals, lifestyle, and timeline, then create a personalized plan that may include one or more of the following:
MOXI Laser Resurfacing
The gentle laser for prejuvenation and maintenance.
MOXI is a non-ablative fractional laser meaning it works beneath the surface without removing layers of skin. It’s ideal for early signs of aging, pigment issues, and sun damage. Think of MOXI as a way to stay ahead of aging before it settles in. Minimal downtime. Glowy results. Often paired with BBL or used as a maintenance laser between more intensive treatments.
Best for: pigment, tone, texture, prevention
Downtime: mild redness, makeup next day
RF Microneedling
Texture meets tightening in one powerful treatment.
Radiofrequency (RF) Microneedling uses fine needles and heat energy to create controlled microinjuries deep in the dermis, triggering collagen production while tightening tissue. This is one of our go-to solutions for crepey skin, deep wrinkles, and improving elasticity over time.
Best for: laxity, texture, crepiness, acne scars
Downtime: 1–3 days of redness
Microneedling
Classic collagen induction, with proven results.
Microneedling alone (Aesthetic or Deep) is still a powerful tool for boosting collagen and improving skin texture. It’s especially great for patients with more sensitive skin or anyone not ready for lasers.
Best for: texture, fine lines, mild scars
Downtime: 1–2 days of redness
Add PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin)
Enhance your results with natural growth factors.
PRF is your body’s own concentrated healing serum, rich in platelets and white blood cells. When applied after microneedling, MOXI or RF microneedling, it speeds healing, improves results, and supports deeper tissue repair. Think of it as a natural booster shot for your treatment.
Best for: accelerated healing, deeper rejuvenation
Downtime: same as above, but faster recovery
CO2 Laser Resurfacing (Deep ActiveFX)
Our most intensive, corrective treatment for dramatic transformation.
If you want serious improvement in wrinkles, texture, scars, or sun damage, this is the gold standard. CO2 laser resurfacing removes the outer layer of damaged skin while heating the layers underneath to stimulate collagen. Results can be dramatic, but you’ll need to expect more social downtime.
Best for: deep lines, advanced texture issues, sun damage
Downtime: 7–10 days of healing, redness can persist
Featherlite CO2 Laser Resurfacing
All the power of CO2, with a slightly lighter touch.
Featherlite is a more refined version of CO2 laser, offering many of the same benefits but with less downtime. It’s ideal for patients who want improvement in texture and pigment without the full recovery time of traditional CO2.
Best for: tone, texture, moderate wrinkles
Downtime: 4–5 days of redness and healing
Why You’ll Need a Series (and Why That’s Okay)
We get it. You want results now. But true skin transformation happens in stages. Most resurfacing treatments work best in a series of 3–4 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart, followed by maintenance 1–2 times per year depending on the treatment.
Here’s why: collagen remodeling takes time. Your skin’s healing and regeneration process happens slowly over weeks—not days. By committing to a plan, you’re investing in lasting change.
Downtime vs. Your Lifestyle: We Have Options
We know you’re busy. Some of our patients have a few days to recover. Others need to be in front of people the next morning. That’s why we offer a range of resurfacing treatments with customizable downtime, from zero to 10 days, so we can match the treatment to your lifestyle, comfort level, and event calendar.
