Laser Resurfacing in Dallas, TX
Changes in skin texture and tone can make the complexion look less even, despite a consistent skin-care routine. Laser resurfacing offers a controlled approach to improving these concerns without changing the natural shape of your face.
At Dallas Premier Plastic Surgery, Dr. Deniz Basci evaluates your skin, medical history, and goals before recommending a treatment plan. She serves patients from Dallas and throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
What Is Laser Resurfacing?
This treatment uses focused energy to target selected layers of damaged skin. Depending on the technology and settings, it may remove portions of the outer layer, create microscopic treatment channels, or heat deeper tissue to support collagen remodeling. As the skin heals, it may appear smoother, clearer, and more even.
The depth of treatment matters. A lighter session may be appropriate for mild discoloration or texture changes, while deeper resurfacing may provide greater correction with a longer recovery. Dr. Basci selects the approach based on your skin tone, the concern being treated, and the amount of downtime you can accommodate.
Laser skin resurfacing may improve:
- Fine lines and crepey texture
- Sun-damaged or unevenly pigmented skin
- Mild to moderate acne scars
- Roughness and enlarged-looking pores
- Certain scars and surface irregularities
Am I a Candidate for Laser Skin Resurfacing?
You may be a candidate if you want visible improvement in skin quality and understand that results develop as the treated area heals. Good candidates are also prepared to follow pre-treatment and aftercare instructions, particularly those related to sun protection.
During your consultation, Dr. Basci will review factors that can affect safety and healing. These include your skin tone, tendency to scar, recent sun exposure, history of cold sores, current medications, previous procedures, and any active irritation or infection.
Resurfacing improves the skin’s surface, but it does not reposition loose facial tissue or restore substantial volume. If jowls, sagging cheeks, or neck laxity are your main concerns, facelift surgery in Dallas may address them more directly. The two treatments may also play different roles in a broader facial rejuvenation plan.
What Happens During Treatment?
Treatment begins with cleansing the skin and protecting your eyes. An anesthetic may be used for comfort, depending on the area and treatment depth. Dr. Basci then passes the laser over the planned areas using settings selected for your skin and goals.
The length of the appointment depends on whether a small area or the full face is treated. Some patients benefit from one more intensive session, while gentler or fractional approaches may require a series. Your consultation will clarify the expected number of treatments and the recovery associated with each option.
Laser Resurfacing Recovery
Redness, swelling, warmth, and sensitivity are common after treatment. As the skin heals, it may feel dry and begin to peel. More intensive resurfacing can also cause temporary crusting or oozing.
Downtime varies with the treatment depth. Some patients return to normal activities within several days, while deeper resurfacing may require about one to two weeks of more visible healing. Pinkness can last longer than the initial recovery period.
Do not pick or scrub healing skin. Use only the products approved by Dr. Basci, and protect the treated area from direct sun. Improvements continue as redness fades and collagen remodeling progresses.
Benefits of Resurfacing Treatment
The value of treatment comes from addressing several aspects of skin quality in one plan. Depending on your concerns and the selected settings, benefits may include:
- Improvement in several surface concerns during one treatment plan
- Adjustable depth based on the degree of correction and acceptable downtime
- Treatment of a specific area or the full face
- Progressive collagen remodeling after the initial healing period
- The option to complement surgical facial rejuvenation when appropriate
Results do not stop aging or prevent future sun damage. Daily sun protection and an appropriate skin-care routine can help maintain the improvement.
How Much Does Laser Resurfacing Cost in Dallas?
Cost varies according to the treatment area, depth, number of sessions, type of anesthesia, and whether other services are included in the plan. A limited-area treatment will differ in price from full-face resurfacing.
After examining your skin and deciding which approach is appropriate, Dallas Premier Plastic Surgery will provide a personalized quote. Cosmetic laser treatment is generally self-pay, so the office can also explain available payment and financing options.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many treatments will I need?
The number depends on the device, treatment depth, and concern being addressed. One stronger session may be appropriate in some cases, while gentler treatments often work best as a series.
Can treatment remove acne scars completely?
No treatment can guarantee complete removal of acne scars. Laser resurfacing may make certain scars less visible, and Dr. Basci may recommend more than one session or a combination plan for deeper or mixed scar patterns.
Is resurfacing safe for every skin tone?
People with many skin tones may be candidates, but the risk of temporary or lasting pigment changes varies. Careful evaluation and appropriate device settings are especially important for patients who tan easily or have more melanin-rich skin.
Can it be combined with a facelift?
Yes, the treatments address different layers of facial aging. A facelift repositions lax tissue, while resurfacing targets texture, fine lines, pigmentation, and certain scars; Dr. Basci will determine whether they should be performed together or at separate times.
