About Skin Resurfacing and Tightening

Over time, skin loses its firmness and clarity due to aging, sun exposure, and environmental stress. Collagen production slows, texture roughens, and discoloration can appear. Skin resurfacing and tightening work by stimulating collagen, smoothing the surface, and creating a more even tone.

These treatments are ideal for those seeking subtle, progressive improvement without downtime from surgery. From laser skin rejuvenation, our Upper East Side patients choose for a smoother glow, to precision peels and compounded skincare, the right treatment plan begins with a careful evaluation.

When combined with customized skincare or energy-based maintenance, the results are not only visible—they’re sustainable.

FAQ Skin Resurfacing & Tightening

What’s the difference between skin resurfacing and skin tightening?

Resurfacing improves texture, tone, and pigmentation by treating the skin’s surface. Tightening works below the surface to firm and lift using collagen stimulation.

How many treatments will I need?

Some patients see results after one treatment, while others benefit from a series. Dr. Coombs will recommend a plan tailored to your skin’s needs and goals.

Is there downtime?

Downtime varies depending on the treatment. Light treatments may have little to no recovery, while deeper resurfacing may involve three to seven days of redness or peeling.

Can these treatments be done around the eyes?

Yes. Dr. Coombs is uniquely trained in periorbital anatomy and safely performs resurfacing near the eyes to reduce crepey skin and fine lines.

Are these treatments safe for all skin tones?

Some treatments are better suited for certain skin tones. Dr. Coombs selects devices and settings based on your skin type to minimize risk and maximize results.

Will my skin look overdone or unnatural?

No. Dr. Coombs focuses on natural-looking outcomes—your skin will look refreshed, not overtreated.

How long do results last?

Results can last months or even years, especially with good skincare and sun protection. Maintenance treatments may be recommended based on your skin’s needs.
