What is laser skin resurfacing?
As time passes, your skin can accumulate layers of dead and damaged cells. These make your skin look dull and tired, hiding the healthy glow of fresh layers underneath.
Deep laser resurfacing in Leawood safely and effectively removes those outer layers. It allows newer layers to show and “glow,” while stimulating new growth and collagen production as it tightens the skin in your treatment area.
Sometimes called a “laser peel,” laser skin resurfacing provides deep exfoliation without chemicals.
Where can I have laser skin surfacing?
In Leawood, our clients most commonly have laser skin resurfacing on the following areas:
- Face
- Hands
- Neck

What it Treats
There are a number of skin issues that laser resurfacing can treat, diminishing or in some cases completely erasing them.
- Fine Lines and Wrinkles
- Enlarged Pores
- Poor Skin Texture
- Uneven Skin Tone
- Skin Discoloration/Hyperpigmentation
- Acne Scars
Most patients require at least 3 treatments, spread 4 weeks apart, to address their concerns.
Does laser skin resurfacing hurt?
You may experience some discomfort during your session for laser resurfacing in Leawood. However, it’s rare that a patient finds it painful. Because your comfort and safety are our top priorities, you will have topical numbing medicine applied for at least 30 minutes prior to your procedure. This helps prevent any pain or discomfort you might have.
We keep communication open during your treatment. Let your provider know if you begin to experience any pain so that we can help address it.
Your Regain provider will always take proper precautions, provide eye protection and safety shields, and adapt the treatment to your unique needs.
