Expected results from laser resurfacing depends on many things: skin type, degree of wrinkling, physician approach, type of technology. You should visit with an experienced physician regarding approach, desired result, and expectations as they will vary widely.

You can count on some sort of down time and exfoliation, swelling, and persistent redness prior to any results in tone, texture, and tightening, as Co2 lasers vaporize tissue, and cause thermal contraction of skin.

I encourage you to seek out a board certified dermatologist with resurfacing experience in order to be better informed.
