Fractional Laser Before & Afters
LASER SKIN RESURFACING TREATMENT
Our high-performance lasers deliver an array of high-precision microbeams of light. These microbeams create narrow, deep columns of tissue coagulation that penetrate well below your epidermis and into the dermis while sparing the tissue surrounding the columns from damage. The treated tissue within the columns initiates a natural healing process and accelerates the formation of new, healthy skin tissue where you most want to see it — on your face, neck, décolleté, abdomen, and arms.
Our Seattle laser skin resurfacing combines the substantial skin-resurfacing capabilities of an ablative laser with the minimal downtime of a non-ablative laser. Fractional lasers are considered today’s leading treatment for laser skin resurfacing, based on their powerful clinical efficacy, varied applications and functionality, and minimal side effects. Your skin benefits from quick healing in the surrounding deep tissue — for the most effective deep corrections and long-term dermal remodeling you can achieve.
What is Laser Skin Resurfacing?
Laser Skin Resurfacing is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment designed to improve skin texture, tone, and overall appearance by targeting imperfections like fine lines, wrinkles, scars, and sun damage. The procedure uses laser technology to remove damaged skin cells layer by layer, stimulating natural collagen production and encouraging new, healthy skin growth. This process helps rejuvenate the skin, creating a smoother and more youthful look. The treatment is customizable, meaning it can be tailored to meet the specific needs of each patient, whether it's for minor blemishes or more noticeable skin concerns.
What aesthetic concerns does Laser Skin Resurfacing address?
Laser Skin Resurfacing is an incredibly versatile treatment that can address a broad spectrum of aesthetic concerns, helping you feel more confident and at ease in your own skin. Laser Skin Resurfacing offers effective solutions for many common skin challenges, including:
- Fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes, mouth, and forehead.
- Acne scars and other forms of scarring can be improved dramatically.
- Sun damage and uneven pigmentation, with skin tone becoming smoother and more even.
- Large pores can shrink, improving skin texture and tone.
- Rough skin texture or tone irregularities, smoothing and restoring your skin's natural glow.
Whether you're dealing with early signs of aging or skin concerns caused by environmental damage, this treatment offers a targeted solution for smoother, clearer skin.
What areas of the body can be treated with Laser Skin Resurfacing?
While laser skin resurfacing is best known for its transformative effects on the face, it can also help enhance other areas of the body. By addressing signs of aging, uneven skin tone, and sun damage, this versatile treatment helps you look and feel your best from head to toe. Areas that can benefit from laser treatment include:
- Neck, where the skin can be rejuvenated and smoothed, enhancing beauty and self-confidence.
- Chest, helping to restore youthful radiance by diminishing sun damage, fine lines, and pigmentation.
- Hands, which often show signs of aging like spots and rough texture, can become smoother and more vibrant.
- Shoulders and upper back are especially beneficial for reducing acne scars and sun damage, helping you feel beautiful and respected in every outfit you wear.
Each of these areas can experience noticeable improvements, leaving you with smoother, clearer skin that restores a sense of self-assurance and nurtures your overall well-being.

Laser Skin Resurfacing Candidates
Ideal candidates for laser skin resurfacing are individuals with mild to moderate skin imperfections, such as fine lines, wrinkles, uneven texture, or scars.
Most skin types can safely undergo treatment, though patients with active acne or severe skin conditions may need to delay treatment until these issues are under control. Those with darker skin tones can still benefit from fractional lasers which are safe and effective across all skin types. Contraindications include pregnancy, breastfeeding, or recent use of isotretinoin (Accutane), as well as any underlying health conditions that affect wound healing.
Laser Skin Resurfacing Consultation and Preparation
During your consultation for laser skin resurfacing Seattle, Bellevue, and Bellingham skin care experts, at Kucumber Skin Lounge will assess your skin's condition and discuss your aesthetic goals.
We'll also review your medical history to ensure you're a good candidate for the procedure. In preparation for treatment, you may need to avoid certain medications, discontinue retinoid creams, and protect your skin from excessive sun exposure. Your provider will give you a clear list of pre-treatment guidelines to follow for the best results.
Laser Skin Resurfacing Procedure
The procedure typically lasts between 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the treatment area.
A topical numbing agent is applied to ensure your comfort throughout the session. The laser is then passed over the skin, creating micro-channels to stimulate collagen production and skin renewal. Patients often describe the sensation as a mild prickling or warmth. The process is quick, and most patients are able to resume their normal activities the next day.
Laser Skin Resurfacing Results
Results from laser skin resurfacing typically begin to reveal themselves within just a few days as your skin starts its natural healing and rejuvenation process.
As the skin regenerates, you'll notice smoother, more radiant skin that helps enhance your authentic beauty. By two weeks, the full effects become more visible, with skin looking noticeably brighter, firmer, and more youthful. Over the following months, improvements continue as collagen production steadily increases, providing long-lasting results. Fine lines and wrinkles fade, texture becomes more refined, and uneven pigmentation diminishes, allowing you to feel refreshed and self-assured in your appearance.
Laser Skin Resurfacing Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery from laser skin resurfacing typically involves mild redness, swelling, and flaking, which can last for a few days.
To avoid complications, it's essential to keep the skin hydrated and protected from the sun. Your provider will give you specific aftercare instructions, including recommendations for skincare products and sun protection. Most patients can return to their regular routine within three to seven days, with no need for extensive downtime.
WHAT TO EXPECT
The side effects of fractional laser skin resurfacing that you will experience are likely to be minimal, including lingering warmth, tightness, and redness which fades after a few hours. Your skin will feel tighter and look smoother within several weeks — the time it takes for new collagen and elastin to transform your skin. Generally, you can receive treatment and go back to work or to other activities without any recovery time. A series of treatments at 4-6 weeks intervals is recommended to maintain your skin’s results and keep achieving your beauty goals.
By accelerating the formation of new, healthy tissue, the laser treatment delivers remarkable skin resurfacing results. With the Kucumber team’s commitment to and passion for advanced beauty treatments, your skin can thrive.
