Winter Skin Refresh: Why Laser Resurfacing Works Best Now

After a long summer of sun, sweat, and environmental exposure, your skin may be showing signs of wear—dull tone, discoloration, rough texture, or fine lines. These changes are common as UV rays break down collagen and increase pigmentation. Winter is an ideal time to address these concerns with precision-based treatments that work below the surface.

At Dermatology Associates of Plymouth Meeting, we offer a full suite of advanced laser resurfacing options designed to improve tone, smooth texture, and restore a more even, radiant appearance. Whether you’re dealing with photoaging, acne scars, or fine lines, resurfacing treatments are tailored to your skin’s needs—and winter is the perfect time to begin.

Why Choose Laser Resurfacing in the Winter?

Laser resurfacing treatments often require a recovery period and strict sun avoidance—making the cooler, lower-UV months of winter especially well-suited for treatment. With reduced risk of post-treatment pigmentation and easier sun protection, patients can achieve better results with less hassle.

Laser resurfacing can help address:

Sunspots and uneven pigmentation
Fine lines and crepey texture
Acne scars and surface irregularities
Enlarged pores
General dullness and loss of tone

By removing damaged skin cells and stimulating new collagen production, resurfacing encourages gradual, long-term improvement from within.

How Laser Resurfacing Works

Laser resurfacing uses concentrated beams of light energy to remove layers of damaged skin and stimulate natural renewal. There are several types of resurfacing available, and the right choice depends on your skin type, goals and preferred downtime.

Common options include:

Ablative lasers (such as CO2 or erbium): These target both the superficial and deeper layers of the skin, offering more dramatic results for aging or sun-damaged skin.
Non-ablative lasers: These work beneath the surface without removing skin layers, typically requiring less downtime but multiple sessions.
Fractional lasers: These create microscopic treatment zones, enabling faster healing and a reduced risk of complications.

Our board-certified dermatologists will assess your skin and recommend a treatment plan that balances your goals with your lifestyle.

Restore smoother, brighter skin with laser care.

Laser resurfacing is not one-size-fits-all. At Dermatology Associates of Plymouth Meeting, every patient receives a personalized consultation to determine the most appropriate technology and treatment depth.

Downtime can range from a few days of mild redness to a week of more visible peeling, depending on the intensity of your treatment. We also provide detailed pre- and post-care instructions to support optimal healing and results.

If you’re planning for an event or looking ahead to the holidays, now is the time to start.
