What Is Laser Skin Resurfacing?
At The Skin Care Center at Gulf Coast Plastic Surgery, we offer a wide range of laser and light-based technologies to achieve smoother, clearer, and more youthful skin. These nonsurgical treatments like the BBL Heroic use use targeted beams of light to address facial lines, wrinkles, acne scars, pigmentation issues, and other skin irregularities. Laser options include PicoSure Laser Facial Rejuvenation, Contour TRL NanoLaser Peel and MircoLaser Peel, and CoolPeel CO2 Laser treatment. These state-of-the-art technologies address deeper lines and pigment issues, with varying degrees of downtime. We offer both ablative and non-ablative laser options: ablative lasers remove damaged skin layers, ideal for deeper imperfections, while non-ablative lasers target deeper layers without removing the top layer, perfect for mild to moderate issues with minimal downtime. Each treatment is personalized to meet the patient's needs, focusing on effective results with minimal recovery time. Our dedicated team in Pensacola, FL is here to guide you through the process and answer any questions for a comfortable and informed experience.
What Is Our Laser Skin Resurfacing Technique?
For more intense laser resurfacing at The Skin Care Center, you may need to use a topical retinoid for 2 – 3 weeks before your appointment to prepare your skin for better results. However, these acids must be discontinued 5-7 days before treatment. Before the procedure, we might provide medication to minimize discomfort and enhance relaxation. A topical anesthetic is used to numb the targeted areas. ProNox (nitrous oxide) can aid in patient comfort while allowing them to drive home or back to work post-procedure. For more extensive resurfacing, oral sedation may be required.
What Are the Benefits of Laser Skin Resurfacing?
At The Skin Care Center at Gulf Coast Plastic Surgery, we understand that aging can lead to dry, dull, and lifeless skin. Our laser skin resurfacing treatments provide Pensacola, FL patients with a rejuvenating solution with numerous benefits, like:
- Improved skin clarity
- Reduction of pores
- Minimized appearance of wrinkles and fine lines
- Smoothing of rough skin surface
- Improved self-confidence
Laser Resurfacing Treatments For the Face
- Contour TRL NanoLaserPeel this peel dramatically improves skin texture and uncovers a gorgeous glow. The NanoLaserPeel treats mild wrinkles, pigment irregularities, sun damage, and scars. It can be customized to address your concerns and done in conjunction with injectable procedures like Botox and dermal fillers. The NanoLaserPeel can be used on the face, neck, chest, and hands. Downtime is minimal, usually about 5-7 days. (Patients use makeup within a day or two.) A series of three, repeated monthly, is recommended for best results.
- Contour TRL MicroLaserPeel is similar to the NanoLaserPeel but goes deeper to address more pronounced pigmentation issues, wrinkles, and skin texture. It can be performed on the face, neck, chest, and hands. For optimal results, it is recommended that most patients have a series of 2-3 peels every year. Patients can expect 7-10 days of downtime with this procedure but can wear makeup in 2-3 days.
- Contour TRL Deep Laser Resurfacing is a state-of-the-art laser treatment that treats skin at a deeper level than the NanoLaser or MicroLaser. It can significantly improve deeper lines, deep acne, surgical scars, sun damage, uneven skin texture, enlarged pores, and skin laxity. The ContourTRL laser precisely removes the outer layers of damaged skin, stimulating natural collagen production and revealing healthier, smoother skin beneath. Depending on the depth of the treatment, you can achieve subtle to dramatic results. Because this is a deeper treatment, the recovery may be about 2 to 3 weeks of downtime. Redness may continue for several weeks after treatment but may be covered with makeup. You must also avoid sun exposure for one month before and six months after the treatment. This is the perfect treatment for those patients who have spent many years in the sun and have developed significant wrinkles and sun damage. It is also an excellent adjunct treatment to a surgical facelift.
- CoolPeel CO2 Laser Treatment safely and comfortably delivers all the benefits of traditional CO2 resurfacing treatments with little pain and less downtime. CoolPeel removes damaged skin, promotes collagen production, and reveals younger, healthier-looking skin.
- PicoSure Laser Facial Rejuvenation provides breakthrough technology to revitalize the skin. It can be used on almost all skin colors and is particularly good at treating acne scars and melasma. There is no to little downtime associated with this treatment.
- Fractional Laser Treatments (Fraxel) are effective in treating lines around the mouth and eyes, improving skin texture and tone, and can be used to treat stretch marks on all areas of the body. We offer ablative and non-ablative treatment options. Your provider will explain both options and recommend the best one at your consultation.
Laser Skin Resurfacing Reviews
Every staff member of the Skin Care Center that I had contact with was great. They were helpful, professional and above all, nice. Highly recommend!
I’m so enjoying working with the Skin Care Team! They are ALL so sweet, motivating, professional and helpful. Working at getting a refresh for my daughters wedding in the fall.
The Skin Care Center has become my new favorite! Everyone is so professional and helpful. Lisa has performed all of the treatments I have had, and she is THE BEST! I highly recommend making an appointment today!
I had the pleasure of having a consultation with Lisa Williams regarding some visible veins in my legs after childbirth. She was so friendly and knowledgeable. She presented herself in such a professional way but was also very down to earth and easy to talk to. She answered all of my questions and concerns and was able to help me decide on a treatment plan. I will also add that each young lady behind the desk was very friendly from my first phone call to check-out, and every interaction in between. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone and everyone!
Super nice and friendly atmosphere. Alice is amazing, she answers all my questions and does a fantastic job. I recently had lip filler for the first time and She did an amazing job. I was nervous but They look great and I had no bruising or pain! Definitely recommend the Skin Care Center! ❤️

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does laser skin resurfacing cost?
The cost of laser skin resurfacing depends on the type of treatment you choose. During your consultation, we will listen to your skin concerns and goals, explain the available resurfacing options, and help you select the best treatment for your needs. We will also review pricing at that time. Our team at The Skin Care Center at Gulf Coast Plastic Surgery often offers special promotions and package discounts, so be sure to ask about any current deals during your visit.
What's the best type of resurfacing for me?
We will help you determine which laser resurfacing option is best suited to your goals and skin condition. The right treatment depends on factors like your skin type, specific concerns, and how deep you want the treatment to reach. Your recovery time preference can also play a role in deciding which option is right for you. If you're unsure, we might recommend starting with a gentler treatment to see how you respond before considering a more intensive approach later on.
How can I help my skin recover after a resurfacing treatment?
We will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to support your skin's healing process. One of the most important guidelines is to avoid picking or peeling any flaking skin, as this can cause lasting damage, such as scarring. You should also pause hair removal in the treated area, including waxing, shaving, or using depilatory creams. We may recommend a soothing ointment to help keep your skin comfortable during recovery.
Should I get laser skin resurfacing, a chemical peel, or dermabrasion?
We will review your concerns and help you decide whether laser skin resurfacing, a chemical peel, or dermabrasion will best suit your needs and goals. While each option is designed to refresh and rejuvenate the skin, they each offer different benefits and recovery times. We will walk you through each choice and recommend the treatment that aligns with your desired outcomes.
How often should I get laser resurfacing treatments?
How often you should schedule laser resurfacing sessions depends on the treatment we recommend for you. Some deeper laser treatments provide longer-lasting results but will require more recovery time between appointments. We will discuss your preferences and desired maintenance schedule so we can create a plan that works best for your lifestyle and skincare goals.
