How Much Does Laser Skin Resurfacing Cost?

In general, the cost varies between $500 - $5,000. There are several lasers available in the market for skin resurfacing. Prior to considering the price, you should first decide (in consultation with your physician) which laser would work best for your problem. Your physician should have several laser modalities for you to choose from and provide you with the merits / comparison of each option. Next, you should decide how much downtime you can afford to have. This is especially important since some laser methods require multiple treatment sessions in order to achieve the desired results. Therefore, the total cost varies depending on the intermittent downtime and the number of treatment sessions. I hope this helps. All the best.

In Salt Lake City, a microlaser peel is $350/treatment and a deep laser is $2500.  Usually more than one microlaser peel is necessary to correct the concern.  Your resurfacing specialist should have multiple options (i.e. chemical peels, dermabrasion, IPL, etc...) to help you achieve your goals.

Because laser skin resurfacing has a wide variety of available treatments, the price range can vary greatly. In general, buying treatments as part of a package will provide the best cost and would be the recommended option if you plan on undergoing more than one treatment. If you decide to go this route, your clinic will help you plan out a treatment schedule with the recommended amount of appointments to produce optimal results.
If you would like to receive accurate cost figures, contact different skin care clinics in your area to learn more. Hope this helps.

Costs for laser treatments are going to vary extremely widely, and will depend on the type of laser being used, the person doing the treatment (facial plastic surgeon vs laser technician for example), the local market, and how aggressive the treatment is. Some treatments require anesthesia to make the procedure comfortable, while others can be performed under just topical anesthesia (numbing cream).With respect to utilizing a series of treatments versus one treatment, this really comes down to the recommendations of the treating physician, the type of laser, the goals of treatment, and the available budget and down time. I have some patients that would prefer to go less aggressive with shorter recovery and perform several treatments over a series of months, and some patients that only have 1-2 weeks to recover and would like to go as aggressive as possible in one treatment.Be sure to find a doctor that specializes in facial aesthetic procedures and can review all of the options with you in detail.All the best,

The wide variety of lasers and energy based devices on the market is very confusing to most consumers!The tendency is for every brand of laser (and physician that owns that laser) to claim that their device is superior, offers better results, with less downtime.In reality, there are a few broad categories of lasers, and most treatments within each category are fairly similar.  What matters is the skill (and safety) of the laser operator, and their ability to work with the patient.In general, there are lasers that treat vascular and pigmented lesions (PDL/vBeam, KTP, ND:YAG).  IPL (intense pulsed light) is a non-laser treatment that works similarly and sometimes better than vascular lasers for these types of problems.There are then non-ablative, and ablative lasers (Erbium:YAG, Erbium:Glass, CO2, ND:YAG, ER:YSSG).  Most lasers are now fractional (think aerating the lawn, not mowing the grass) meaning that they poke thousands of tiny holes into the skin, and surrounding skin then helps speed healing.  Non-ablative means that the treatment coagulates the skin, causing gentle resurfacing with multiple treatments.  Ablative means that the microcolumns of skin are vaporized, which also means that there is increased healing and social downtime (oozing and crusting of skin for 3-5 days) but also more dramatic results.  IPL treatments may range from 200-300 dollars in our area, while each nonablative treatment may range from 400-500 dollars and an ablative treatment may range from 1000-1500 dollars.  Often, treatments are combined to improve overall results.Best Wishes

Our office charges 2,500 $ for one treatment and packages reduce the price. See the link below for all of our pricing. We feel it is best to be straightforward from the beginning.That is a pretty standard price for an ablative laser. If you combine it with fat transfer (my favorite combo) the price is significantly decreased.Hope this helps. The laser can do wonders!Best of luck,DrC

The cost of laser skin resurfacing depends on whether you choose a single ablative treatment with a CO2 laser (Lumenis Ultrapulse or Syneron Candela CO2RE) or multiple treatments with non-ablative laser treatments like ResurFX or Fraxel. 

Pricing of laser resurfacing is going to differ greatly
depending on exactly what procedure you are having performed, the type of
anesthesia and the facility.Laser
resurfacing can range from a light laser peel to a fully ablative resurfacing
procedure.These procedures can be
performed in an in office setting or surgery center which alters the price.You can have laser resurfacing performed
with local blocks, twilight anesthesia or general anesthesia.In my practice located in Tucson, AZ the
resurfacing is most often performed under local sedation in our office.When performing resurfacing this way we charge
about $3,000 including anesthesia, facility and provider’s fee.Without a consultation, this is a rough
estimate as the fees will vary based on the type of laser, if we are performing
other procedures at the same time, etc.When you come in for a consultation, you will leave with a written quote
specific to you and your needs.

The cost of laser resurfacing really depends on the type of resurfacing you are having done, as well as several other factors:There are many different levels of resurfacing - some more superficial lasers will be less expensiveIt will depend on the number of treatments you haveThe cost will also largely depend on your geographic area - in larger metropolitan areas, it tends to be more expensiveEstimated costs:Micro laser peels with erbium YAG lasers cost anywhere from $300-$800 per treatment.Deeper fractionated or full field laser resurfacing can cost anywhere from $1500 - $3000 per treatment. A series of multiple treatments is almost always better. Typically patients see the best results when they have at least three treatments. It really depends on the practice where you are having the laser resurfacing and if you want to purchase a package. You may not need all the treatments, or your physician may want to tailor your treatment with several different types of resurfacing, so a package could lock you into one specific treatment.

The cost of laser resurfacing really depends on the depth and type of laser used.  In general, superficial laser resurfacing is less than deeper resurfacing.  Cost can range from $150 for light resurfacing to $3000 for a deep resurfacing laser procedure.

For deep laser resurfacing, most of my patients elect to have this done in the office rather than in the operating room setting.  I make this a comfortable experience for my patients by using a state of the art custom numbing cream plus a specialized machine that cools the patient during the procedure.  Patients do quite well with this and avoiding both the physical as well as financial implications of the operating room is appealing to them.
