What Is Laser Skin Resurfacing?
Laser skin resurfacing is a cosmetic procedure that involves the use of concentrated beams of light (lasers) to improve the skin’s appearance. This procedure removes damaged or blemished layers of skin while encouraging collagen production for healthy skin regeneration and a rejuvenated look. This technique effectively addresses various skin concerns, including wrinkles, scars, uneven pigmentation, rough texture, and more.
Alma® Harmony® XL PRO vs. Lumenis UltraPulse® CO2
The Alma® Harmony® XL PRO and the Lumenis UltraPulse® CO2 are two advanced laser devices used for skin resurfacing, but they each offer their own unique benefits and capabilities:
Alma® Harmony® XL PRO
The Alma® Harmony® XL PRO is a versatile laser platform equipped with various applicators designed to address a wide range of skin concerns. These applicators use different technologies to treat issues such as vascular and pigmented lesions while also promoting collagen production and improving skin texture and tone. By utilizing these specialized applicators, the platform can provide tailored treatments for diverse skin conditions.
Lumenis UltraPulse® CO2
On the other hand, the Lumenis UltraPulse® CO2 laser is known for its precision and ability to perform deep skin resurfacing. This device also offers multiple treatment modes, allowing Dr. Anthony to target both superficial and deeper skin layers. The UltraPulse® CO2 laser is particularly effective for treating more severe skin issues, such as deep wrinkles, acne scars, and other significant skin imperfections, with minimal thermal damage to surrounding tissues.

Am I a Good Candidate for Laser Skin Resurfacing?
Ideal laser skin resurfacing patients are those in good overall health and with firm skin elasticity. Individuals with active infections, severe acne, or a history of keloid scarring should avoid this treatment or consider other options. Dr. Anthony can more accurately evaluate your treatment choices during your consultation.
The Laser Skin Resurfacing Session
A typical laser skin resurfacing session at Anthony Aesthetics begins with each treatment area being cleaned. You will also be given protective goggles to protect your eyes and a local anesthetic for your comfort. Dr. Anthony will then administer your preselected laser therapy according to your desired results.
Laser Skin Resurfacing Aftercare
Recovery from laser skin resurfacing is usually swift, with most patients experiencing only mild redness and swelling that subsides within a couple of days. To ensure optimal healing and results, it is essential to follow Dr. Anthony’s aftercare instructions. For example, it is advised to avoid picking or scratching the treated area to prevent complications.
How Much Does Laser Skin Resurfacing Cost?
The price of laser skin resurfacing varies based on the size of the treatment area(s), the number of sessions required, and the specific device used. At Anthony Aesthetics, financing options like CareCredit® are available to help manage the cost of these procedures.

Patient testimonialnothing short of amazing
“The CO2 laser facial resurfacing was, as expected, somewhat uncomfortable, but the dramatic improvement in skin tone, and reduction of fine lines and wrinkles on this 67 year old face, is nothing short of amazing! My husband remarked that my skin is now “smooth and glowing”. Dr. Anthony is a talented, skilled surgeon, and he and his staff are professional, personable, and caring. I would not hesitate to recommend him!”
