The laser energy penetrates deep into the skin to smooth wrinkles and resurface imperfections. Dr. Lisiecki uses the cutting-edge technology for laser skin resurfacing, ensuring safe and natural results that align with your expectations.
About Laser Skin Resurfacing
What is laser skin resurfacing?
Laser skin resurfacing is a powerful skin rejuvenation technique. The procedure involves delivering short pulses of light energy into the skin’s deeper layers to exfoliate the damaged epidermis and stimulate collagen production. This procedure removes the skin tissues with scarring, freckles, age spots, and other problems, paving the way for smoother, softer, and more flawless skin. It also stimulates collagen production, making your skin look firm, tight, and youthful.
Dr. Lisiecki performs laser skin resurfacing using cutting-edge laser technologies depending on your skin type and goals. Some lasers remove a layer of skin to a precise depth, as determined by the doctor, to stimulate healing and resurfacing. Others remove columns of skin from the epidermis to facilitate collagen production and pave the way for smoother skin tissues. More aggressive lasers have greater effects, but generally involve a longer recovery period.
The benefits of laser skin resurfacing:
- Non-invasive treatment — no injections, incisions, or scarring
- Causes minimal pain and discomfort during treatment
- Improves overall skin tone and texture
- Stimulates natural collagen production
- Paves the way for smoother, softer, and healthier skin tissues
- Minimal post-treatment downtime
Your laser options
CO2
CO2 laser resurfacing is an ablative treatment that removes damaged outer layers of skin while stimulating significant collagen production deep beneath the surface. It is often recommended for patients with deeper wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, uneven skin texture, and skin laxity. Because it provides dramatic skin renewal, CO2 laser resurfacing typically requires a longer recovery period than non-ablative treatments. The result is smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin with noticeable improvements in tone and texture.
HALO
HALO is the world’s first hybrid fractional laser, combining ablative and non-ablative wavelengths in a single treatment. This technology addresses multiple skin concerns simultaneously by removing damaged skin while stimulating collagen production beneath the surface. HALO effectively improves fine lines, sun damage, enlarged pores, pigmentation, and rough texture with less downtime than ablative lasers. Treatments are fully customizable, allowing Dr. Lisiecki to tailor the intensity based on your goals and desired downtime.
UltraClear
UltraClear is a next-generation cold fiber laser that delivers impressive skin rejuvenation with minimal downtime. Using laser technology, UltraClear stimulates collagen remodeling while improving wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, uneven texture, and pigmentation concerns. The treatment can be customized to address superficial and deeper imperfections with precision. Many patients appreciate UltraClear for its effective results, faster recovery, and ability to produce healthier, smoother, and more radiant skin. Dr. Lisiecki is the first plastic surgeon in New York City to offer treatments with this cutting edge laser.

BroadBand Light (BBL) is a light therapy that targets pigmentation, redness, sun damage, and visible signs of aging without damaging the surrounding skin. Although not technically a laser, BBL uses precise pulses of intense light energy to stimulate collagen production and restore a clearer, more even complexion. It is an excellent option for treating freckles, age spots, rosacea, broken capillaries, and discoloration while requiring little to no downtime.

Dr. Lisiecki’s laser skin resurfacing techniques
Laser skin resurfacing is a highly personalized procedure — Dr. Lisiecki will select the appropriate laser technique and the depth of treatment based on your unique skin quality and conditions. During the procedure, the laser device will deliver short pulses of light energy into targeted areas of the skin, where it will be absorbed by the deeper layers of the skin. The procedure takes 30 to 60 minutes.
Side effects and recovery after laser skin resurfacing
Laser skin resurfacing usually leads to post-treatment swelling, tenderness, discomfort, irritation, and stinging sensations. Your skin will also be photosensitive for a few weeks, so you should avoid direct sunlight and wear sunscreen. Redness can last from days to weeks, depending on your skin and the laser used. Please follow the cosmetic provider’s aftercare guidelines to ensure optimal recovery.
