IPL and ResurFX Laser Resurfacing
IPL and ResurFX Laser Resurfacing in Kirkland & Eastside Seattle
Laser resurfacing at Remington Plastic Surgery is a group of non-surgical treatments that help improve the look and feel of your skin. This can soften fine lines, even skin tone, and improve texture with little downtime.
These treatments are often chosen by patients who want gradual, natural-looking results without surgery and associated recovery. Our team takes a careful, patient-focused approach, using proven techniques to refresh the skin while keeping safety and comfort as top priorities.
What Are IPL and ResurFX?
Laser resurfacing with ResurFX is a non-ablative skin treatment that uses controlled laser energy to improve skin texture, tone, and firmness by stimulating collagen production beneath the skin’s surface. IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) therapy uses multiple wavelengths of light to target specific colors of cells in the skin, improving hyperpigmentation, sun spots, and telangiectasias (spider veins or broken blood vessels).
At Remington Plastic Surgery, this laser resurfacing is performed using the Stellar M22 platform, a medical-grade system that combines laser and light technologies, allowing treatment selection based on each patient’s specific skin needs. Fractionated CO2 laser treatment (hyperlink) is also offered when more aggressive treatment is indicated.
Are You a Good Candidate for Laser Resurfacing in Eastside Seattle?
Laser resurfacing may be a good choice for patients in Kirkland, Bellevue, and Eastside Seattle who want to improve fine lines, uneven skin tone, sun damage, or dark spots, surgical scars, acne scars, or stretch marks without surgery. It is best suited for patients with mild to moderate skin concerns who want gradual improvement rather than dramatic change.
During your consultation, your skin type, medical history, and goals will be reviewed to confirm that laser resurfacing is safe and appropriate for you. If another treatment would better meet your needs, that option will also be discussed openly.
What Happens During Laser Resurfacing with IPL and ResurFX
Laser resurfacing is performed in the office and usually takes less than one hour, depending on the treatment area. Before treatment begins, the skin is cleansed, and a topical numbing cream may be applied for comfort.
The ResurFX laser delivers uniform micro-beams of energy to the targeted areas, using continuous contact cooling to protect the skin and improve comfort. Most patients describe the sensation as warmth or light tingling. IPL uses focused light energy, which is delivered by a cooled handpiece that glides over the skin. This may feel like a light snapping sensation. Eye protection is always used, and the treatment is carefully controlled to balance safety, comfort, and consistent results
What to Expect After Laser Resurfacing with IPL and ResurFX
Following laser resurfacing, the skin may appear red and feel warm, similar to a mild sunburn. Minor swelling is common and typically resolves within a few days. Because ResurFX and IPL are non-ablative treatments, the skin’s surface heals quickly, allowing most patients to return to normal activities soon after treatment.
Patients can expect gradual improvements in skin texture and tone as collagen production increases over the following weeks and months.
