You Deserve To Love Your Skin
It’s your skin, and at The Institute for Hormonal Balance, we feel you should be proud to show it off. We offer many treatments to help our patients with whatever skin issues they may be facing, but laser facial in Arlington is one of our most popular services for patients struggling with pigment issues (redness or brown spots) as well as acne and scarring.
How Laser Skin Resurfacing Works
Laser skin resurfacing works by targeting the top layer of your skin, also called the epidermis. By using the thermal energy from laser light, this treatment focuses on the epidermis and heats the underlying layers of your skin. This causes your body to stimulate a healing response and increase collagen and elastin production. Laser facials also help target pigmented areas and redness.
Collagen and elastin are the two main fibers that strengthen and maintain the cellular structure of our skin. With more collagen and elastin, your skin will smooth out texture issues, correct pigmentation, and more.

What to Expect
When you arrive at your appointment, your provider will cleanse your skin to ensure treatment is effective and safe. Then, they will gently glide the device above your skin to deliver the laser light evenly.
Once you finish treatment, your provider will make sure you have all the post-care instructions you need. They will also let you know when you can expect to start seeing results, as well as help you schedule additional treatment sessions.
