At Icala Medical Aesthetics, Dr. Lilliam Díaz-Vélez and our team perform laser skin resurfacing treatments designed to rejuvenate your complexion by addressing fine lines, wrinkles, uneven tone, and sun damage. Our approach combines safety with exceptional cosmetic results. Every treatment is customized to your individual needs, whether you’re targeting delicate eyelid skin or seeking all-over facial renewal.
What Is Laser Skin Resurfacing?
Laser skin resurfacing is a proven method for restoring the skin’s tone, texture, and firmness. The treatment uses a focused laser beam to gently remove damaged outer layers of skin while stimulating collagen and elastin production in the deeper layers. Collagen helps provide skin structure and volume, while elastin boosts skin elasticity and tightness.
The result is smoother, tighter, and more radiant skin with improved resilience and youthful definition.
At Icala Medical Aesthetics, we use the HEMERA CO₂ laser system by DEKA—a next-generation fractional CO₂ laser that offers enhanced precision, faster healing, and less downtime than older resurfacing systems. This technology allows us to tailor every session to your individual skin type and goals, achieving visible improvement with a safer, more comfortable experience.
Conditions Laser Resurfacing Can Improve
Laser skin resurfacing can effectively treat a wide range of concerns, including:
- Fine lines and deep wrinkles
- Uneven skin texture or roughness
- Acne scars
- Sun damage and dark spots
- Enlarged pores
- Skin laxity around the eyes or mouth
- Dull, uneven skin tone
It’s a versatile treatment that can be used on the full face, neck, chest, or more targeted areas such as the eyelids—an area where Dr. Díaz-Vélez’s oculoplastic expertise provides distinct advantages.
The Treatment Experience
Your session begins with a comprehensive skin evaluation to determine the best settings for your skin type and aesthetic goals. A topical anesthetic is applied for comfort before treatment begins. The CO₂ laser is then passed over the skin in precise, controlled motions, removing micro-thin layers of tissue while stimulating deep collagen remodeling.
Treatment time varies depending on the size of the area being treated, typically ranging from 30 minutes to an hour.
Recovery and Results
The HEMERA CO₂ system allows for faster recovery compared to traditional laser treatments, but it’s still normal to go through a healing period as your skin renews.
Many patients notice smoother, brighter skin as early as one week after treatment, with continued improvement over the following months as collagen rebuilds naturally.
Our team provides detailed aftercare instructions to protect your healing skin, including proper moisturization and sun protection. Results can last for years when combined with a healthy skincare regimen and professional maintenance treatments.
