Laser & Radio-frequency resurfacing
Laser and radiofrequency (RF) skin resurfacing can dramatically improve the appearance of skin on the face and body. In Skinwood, board-certified dermatologist Dr. Sagar Gujjar is considered the authority on laser and RF skin resurfacing. His skin rejuvenation expertise and customized, combination treatments allow him to provide incredible improvements in skin tone, texture, and health.
WHAT IS SKIN RESURFACING?
Laser and RF skin resurfacing treatments are designed to refresh the complexion. Skin resurfacing eliminates dead and damaged skin cells on the surface of the skin while also stimulating healing and improved collagen production beneath the surface. Laser and RF skin resurfacing can be performed on the face, chest, arms, legs, and hands.
Though laser and RF skin resurfacing devices employ different types of energy, both work by delivering heat to the targeted area.The heat causes controlled thermal damage at the treatment site. This triggers the body’s natural healing response, which involves several processes that can minimize the appearance of many skin concerns and restore a healthier, more youthful complexion.
After a period of healing, laser and RF skin resurfacing patients can enjoy smoother, more radiant skin with visible reductions in:
- Sun damage
- Wrinkles and fine lines
- Hyperpigmentation
- Rosacea
- Enlarged pores
- Scars
- Stretch marks

LASER SKIN RESURFACING VS. RADIOFREQUENCY SKIN RESURFACING: WHICH IS BEST FOR ME?
Dr. Gujjar has a vast selection of cosmetic laser and RF skin resurfacing devices. Each has distinct advantages and limitations. Dr. Gujjar is meticulous in determining the optimal skin resurfacing approach for each patient.
Laser and RF skin resurfacing both provide noticeable improvements and are effective skin rejuvenation methods. The best skin resurfacing treatment for you will depend on many factors, including your skin type, skin concerns, and natural skin pigmentation.
LASER RESURFACING
Laser skin resurfacing is the best-known skin resurfacing method. It can be incredibly effective at minimizing the appearance of sun damage, broken blood vessels, acne scars, and wrinkles. Laser skin resurfacing is more invasive than RF skin resurfacing, which means patients can experience dramatic results in as little as one treatment session. It also means that patients can expect a longer recovery time.
RF RESURFACING
RF skin resurfacing can provide considerable improvements in the appearance of the skin without the downtime associated with laser skin resurfacing. For optimal results, patients should plan for a series of RF skin resurfacing treatments over several weeks.
Patients who are prone to pigmentation issues, such as melasma, may be better candidates for RF skin resurfacing. RF skin resurfacing does not carry a risk of post-treatment hyperpigmentation and is safe for all skin tones.

What are Laser & Radio Frequency treatments
Dr.Sagar Gujjar customizes Laser & radiofrequency skin resurfacing treatments that use energy to stimulate collagen production and improve the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and age spots.
PROCEDURE DETAILS
Ultrasound Skin Resurfacing
Ultrasound skin resurfacing uses ultrasound waves to heat the dermis and stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. This can improve the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and age spots. Ultrasound skin resurfacing is less invasive than ablative laser resurfacing, and it has less downtime.RF Skin Resurfacing
Radiofrequency skin resurfacing uses radio waves to heat the dermis and stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. This can improve the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and age spots. Radiofrequency skin resurfacing is less invasive than ablative laser resurfacing, and it has less downtime.RF Microneedling
Radiofrequency microneedling is a combination of radiofrequency skin resurfacing and microneedling. Microneedling involves creating tiny punctures in the skin with a device that has multiple needles. These punctures stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, and they also allow the radiofrequency energy to penetrate deeper into the skin. Radiofrequency microneedling is more effective than radiofrequency skin resurfacing alone, and it can also improve the appearance of scars.HOW DOES LASER SKIN RESURFACING WORK?
For laser skin resurfacing, Dr. Gujjar often uses CO2 lasers or an Erbium laser. These devices transmit a precise intensity of light energy to the skin’s surface. As a result, the outer layer of dull, damaged skin is removed through vaporization. Over the week following a laser skin resurfacing treatment, the dead skin cells will peel off to reveal a fresh, healthy layer of skin. The healing process can include swelling, redness, and itchiness. The body increases collagen production in response to the thermal damage, promoting ongoing improvements in the firmness and lustre of the skin over time. Due to the nature of laser skin treatments, those with darker skin pigments are at a higher risk for hyperpigmentation following laser skin resurfacing. Dr. Gujjar incorporates advanced pre-and-post-treatment peels to prevent hyperpigmentation, so he can safely perform laser skin resurfacing on patients with darker skin tones. SCHEDULE CONSULTATIONHOW DOES RF SKIN RESURFACING WORK?
Fractional RF devices like Morpheus8 RF work by sending RF heat into the deeper layers of the skin. While the RF energy causes micro-wounds across the skin, it does not vaporize the entire outer layer of skin like a laser skin resurfacing procedure.
The heat damage activates the body’s healing process, encouraging accelerated cellular repair and stimulating increased collagen production for stronger, more beautiful skin long-term. The RF heat employed with external RF devices also provides a subtle skin tightening effect.
RF skin resurfacing does not cause peeling, so patients can enjoy a shorter recovery than with laser skin resurfacing. However, it typically takes more treatment sessions to achieve maximum skin rejuvenation with RF skin resurfacing than with a more aggressive laser skin resurfacing approach.

Post treatment care & instructions
- Keep the treated area clean and dry. Wash the treated area gently with a mild cleanser and warm water twice a day. Avoid using harsh soaps or scrubbing the area.
- Apply a moisturizer to the treated area twice a day. Choose a fragrance-free moisturizer that is gentle on the skin.
- Avoid sun exposure to the treated area for at least two weeks. Sun exposure can worsen the appearance of redness and swelling. When you do go outside, wear sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher.
- Avoid activities that can make your skin sweat or hot for at least 24 hours. Activities such as exercising or taking hot baths can irritate the treated area.
