Skin resurfacing with the Cutera Xeo laser is a meticulously designed procedure aimed at rejuvenating your skin with precision and care. It begins with a consultation where a dermatologist or certified technician evaluates your skin concerns—such as wrinkles, scars, or pigmentation—and determines the optimal settings, like the Pearl Fractional for deeper ablation or Laser Genesis for gentler rejuvenation. Your skin is thoroughly cleansed, and protective eyewear is provided. A topical numbing cream is typically applied for 20-30 minutes to ensure comfort, especially for more intensive settings. The provider then guides the Cutera Xeo handpiece over the treatment area, delivering controlled laser pulses that remove damaged skin layers, promote collagen growth, and smooth texture. The session lasts 20-60 minutes, depending on the area and intensity, with sensations ranging from mild warmth to a snapping feeling, manageable with cooling or breaks. Post-treatment, your skin may appear red and feel like a sunburn, with possible peeling over a few days. Aftercare includes moisturizers, sunscreen, and avoiding sun exposure. Results emerge over weeks, with 1-3 sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks apart, often recommended for optimal rejuvenation.
