Am I a good candidate for non-ablative laser resurfacing?

Patients with untanned skin who suffer from issues such as uneven texture, fine lines, wrinkles, pore size, melasma, stretch marks, and acne scarring.

Since the skin is left completely intact after the non-ablative resurfacing treatment, there is minimal to no recovery time.  You will experience some minor swelling and a mild sunburn-like sensation for the first 24 hours after the treatment.  Over the next few days, the skin may appear slightly bronzed or pink in color with minor flaking and dryness that typically subsides within 3-5 days.
