Who is a good candidate for laser skin resurfacing?

Lasers are beams of light that vaporize the outer layers of your skin and promote the growth of new collagen fibers. Laser skin resurfacing reduces wrinkles and scars, evens out skin coloring, tightens skin and removes lesions.

  • Scars from acne or chickenpox.
  • Uneven skin pigmentation.
  • Sun-damaged skin.
  • Age spots or "liver spots" (lentigines).

About Laser Skin Resurfacing

Laser resurfacing is an advanced cosmetic treatment that uses focused beams of light to improve skin tone, texture, and overall appearance. By carefully removing damaged outer layers of skin and stimulating new collagen production, laser resurfacing can smooth wrinkles, soften scars, reduce sun damage, and restore a healthier, more youthful glow. Modern laser technology allows treatments to be tailored—ranging from gentle fractional resurfacing with minimal downtime to deeper resurfacing for more dramatic results.

I am a board-certified dermatologist. I referred several of my patients to Dr. Riyaz for Fraxel laser treatments. The results have been outstanding and my patients have been raving about his amazing bedside manner. He adeptly treats all skin types with ease.

My daughter had a handful of stubborn warts that we had been trying to get rid of for YEARS. We tried everything at home — over-the-counter freezing products, creams, duct tape, scraping, acids — you name it, we tried it! We finally decided to see our regular doctor, where they attempted to freeze them off. When that didn’t work, we went back multiple times and eventually tried a combination of freezing and acid treatments. After FOUR very painful appointments and more than $800 out of pocket, the warts were STILL there. At that point, we were frustrated and gave up for several months. When summer came around, we decided to give Studio Derm and Dr. Farhaad Riyaz a try — and I am SO glad we did! Dr. Riyaz listened carefully to everything we had already been through, explained the different treatment options available, and helped us decide how to move forward. He was incredibly kind, patient, and compassionate with my daughter. And the best part? After ONE pleasant appointment, the warts were GONE! 🙌 We actually went back expecting that she would need another treatment, but Dr. Riyaz looked at them, told us they were healing beautifully, and sent us on our way — no unnecessary treatment or appointment. After everything we had been through, I honestly couldn't believe how easy the experience was. Dr. Riyaz is truly a caring, compassionate, knowledgeable, and HONEST doctor. It is so refreshing to find someone who genuinely seems to care about his patients and isn't going to recommend treatment that isn't needed. I would recommend Studio Derm and Dr. Farhaad Riyaz to absolutely anyone. I only wish we had found him years ago!

Laser Resurfacing FAQs

Laser resurfacing delivers smoother, younger-looking skin with risks usually limited to short-term redness or sensitivity.

Most patients describe a sensation similar to warmth or snapping rubber bands. Numbing cream is applied beforehand, and cooling devices may be used during treatment to improve comfort.

 


Downtime depends on the type of laser used:

  • Lighter, fractional nonablative treatments may cause redness and flaking for a few days.

  • Deeper, fractional ablative treatments may require weeks of recovery before skin fully heals.

The new common language will be more simple and regular than the existing European languages. It will be as simple as Occidental; in fact, it will be Occidental. To an English person, it will seem like simplified English, as a skeptical Cambridge friend of mine told me what Occidental is. The European languages are members of the same family. Their separate existence is a myth.
