What Is Skin Resurfacing

Treating Skin Where The Damage Actually Lives

Fine lines, uneven texture, acne scarring, and sun damage don't just live on the surface — they start in the deeper layers of skin. Skin resurfacing treatments use controlled energy to stimulate collagen and elastin production beneath the surface, improving tone and firmness over time rather than masking it.

Abbott's med spa uses Opus Plasma, a fractional radiofrequency technology that combines plasma and RF energy to resurface skin with less downtime than traditional ablative lasers, while still delivering meaningful improvement in texture, tone, and mild laxity.

Because results build gradually with your body's own collagen response, most patients see the best results with a series of treatments rather than a single visit.

Skin Resurfacing Can Improve

Fine lines & early wrinkles
Uneven texture & enlarged pores
Acne scarring
Sun damage & hyperpigmentation
Mild skin laxity
Overall tone & radiance
What Resurfacing Treats

Two Common Starting Points

Most patients come in for one of these two goals — often both improve together.

Texture & Tone

Texture, Tone & Scarring

For patients dealing with uneven texture, acne scarring, enlarged pores, or sun damage.

  • Smooths rough texture
  • Reduces the appearance of acne scars
  • Fades sun spots & discoloration
  • Minimizes pore size
Firmness & Lines

Firmness & Fine Lines

For patients noticing early fine lines or mild skin laxity, especially around the lower face and neck.

  • Stimulates collagen production
  • Improves mild skin laxity
  • Softens fine lines
  • Results build over the following months
The Process

How Skin Resurfacing Works At Abbott

Every plan starts with your skin, not a fixed package.

01

Skin Consultation & Goal-Setting

We assess your skin type, concerns, and history to determine if resurfacing, and which settings, fit your goals.

02

Customized Treatment Series

Most plans involve a series of sessions spaced several weeks apart to build results gradually.

03

Treatment Day

Sessions typically take 30–60 minutes, with topical numbing used for comfort.

04

Recovery & Maintenance

Expect some redness or mild peeling for a few days, followed by a maintenance plan to protect your results.

Why It Matters

Opus Plasma vs. Traditional Resurfacing

Not all resurfacing technology is equal. Traditional ablative lasers can deliver strong results, but often at the cost of a week or more of visible downtime. Opus Plasma is designed to reach similar depths of the skin with a more manageable recovery.

Because it combines radiofrequency energy with fractional plasma delivery, the depth and intensity of treatment can be adjusted to your skin's tolerance and your goals, rather than a single fixed setting for everyone.

Physician Insight

"Skin resurfacing works because it triggers your own skin to rebuild itself, and that takes a real treatment plan, not a single appointment. We set expectations up front about the timeline."

Resurfacing pairs well with facials for maintenance, or injectables for movement-based lines resurfacing can't treat. See all med spa treatments →
