Light vs. Laser Skin Resurfacing: What’s The Difference?
Light Therapy
Light and laser skin resurfacing includes gentle light therapies that use multiple wavelengths of scattered light to target pigmentation, redness, and sun damage. These light treatments work by delivering broad-spectrum energy that penetrates the skin without damaging the surface, making them a gentler option for improving skin tone and reducing minor discoloration. Ideal for mild concerns and lighter skin tones, light therapies usually require several sessions to achieve gradual, natural-looking results with minimal downtime and a refreshed, balanced complexion.
Laser Treatments
In contrast, light and laser skin resurfacing also covers powerful laser treatments designed to address deeper skin concerns such as wrinkles, scars, and significant texture or pigmentation issues. Lasers emit focused beams of energy that precisely remove damaged skin layers and stimulate collagen production, offering more dramatic and longer-lasting improvements. While recovery time varies by laser type, these treatments provide transformative results and are best suited for patients seeking significant skin renewal, with careful professional evaluation to ensure safety and effectiveness.
Our Advanced Light and Laser Skin Resurfacing Solutions
Are you wondering, “What are the most effective light and laser skin resurfacing treatments?” or “Which light and laser treatments are best for me?” Some light-based treatments use actual lasers, while others employ intense light of a specific wavelength. Light and laser skin resurfacing treatments offered by the Skin Care and Laser Physicians of Beverly Hills include:
- Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)
Intense pulsed light (IPL) treatments use gentle bursts of light to fade sun damage, age spots, and redness. This non-invasive method refreshes your skin tone, helping you achieve a brighter, more balanced complexion without downtime. - Fraxel® Restore Laser
The Fraxel® Restore laser focuses on renewing your skin by reducing wrinkles, scars, and discoloration. It stimulates collagen production to reveal smoother, more youthful-looking skin with gradual, natural results. - Cutera® Excel V
Cutera® Excel V is a light and laser skin resurfacing option that targets unwanted blood vessels and redness. It’s ideal for treating vascular concerns like rosacea and broken capillaries, leaving your skin looking clearer and more evenly toned. - UltraPulse™ Fractional Laser
UltraPulse™ fractional laser offers powerful fractional laser resurfacing to tackle deep wrinkles, scars, and uneven pigmentation. This treatment encourages skin regeneration, delivering significant improvements in texture and tone in just one session. - Laser Hair Removal
Using advanced technology, laser hair removal safely reduces unwanted hair on various parts of the body. It targets hair follicles to provide a long-lasting, smoother skin experience without the hassle of shaving or waxing. - VBeam
VBeam is a specialized pulsed dye laser designed to reduce redness, broken capillaries, and vascular lesions. It gently calms irritated skin and enhances overall skin clarity with minimal discomfort. - AVAVA™

At Skin Care and Laser Physicians of Beverly Hills only board-certified cosmetic dermatologists perform injectable and laser treatments.
Though each light and laser skin resurfacing treatment has its own specific details, in general, they all work in a similar way: The skin absorbs light energy as heat, which can be used to impact pigmented lesions, visible red blood vessels, unwanted hair follicles, and other cosmetic problems. Heat damage to specifically targeted cells can lead lesions to flake away, cause unnecessary vessels to seal up and wither away, and damage hair follicles so they no longer require regular shaving, plucking, or waxing to maintain. The heat can also trigger new collagen production, which can improve the skin’s look and tone over a course of weeks and months. When handled by a trained dermatologist, the lights and lasers are used with precision, focusing solely on the targeted area.
“What is the recovery process for laser treatment?” This is another common question. All of the laser skin resurfacing treatments also have a similar feel and outcome. Most light and laser skin resurfacing patients typically experience a mild sunburn sensation, which resolves quickly and minimal to no downtime after their session. Patients are directed to keep the treated area out of direct sunlight while the skin improves, so as to avoid exposing the sensitive skin to ultraviolet radiation.
Beyond the Glow: What Are Some Other Options That Complement Light and Laser Skin Resurfacing?
Curious about which treatments pair best with light and laser skin resurfacing? Many women and men who choose light and laser skin resurfacing at our practice also like to combine it with BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments for enhanced results. While BOTOX® is highly effective at smoothing dynamic wrinkles caused by facial movement, pairing it with light and laser skin resurfacing can improve overall skin texture, tone, and brightness. Light and laser skin resurfacing targets pigmentation, redness, and unevenness, while BOTOX® focuses on relaxing muscles to reduce wrinkles.
Adding dermal fillers to the combination can restore lost volume in areas like the cheeks and lips, complementing both BOTOX® and light and laser skin resurfacing. Together, these treatments provide a comprehensive approach to rejuvenation, delivering a refreshed, youthful complexion. If you’re considering light and laser skin resurfacing alongside other cosmetic treatments like BOTOX®, Skin Care and Laser Physicians of Beverly Hills can help customize a plan to achieve your best look.
To further enhance the benefits of light and laser skin resurfacing, many patients also opt for microneedling, chemical peels, or medical-grade facials. Microneedling stimulates collagen production by creating tiny, controlled micro-injuries, helping to refine skin texture and reduce fine lines. Chemical peels gently exfoliate the outer skin layers, revealing smoother, brighter skin and improving issues like discoloration and uneven tone. Medical-grade facials provide deep cleansing and nourishment that support the skin’s healing and rejuvenation after light and laser skin resurfacing treatments. Combining light and laser skin resurfacing with these options can amplify your results and help maintain a radiant, healthy complexion over time.
