Laser facial resurfacing and laser peel in Kyiv

Fine lines, pigmentation, enlarged pores and uneven texture develop in the upper layers of the skin. That's why the most effective method for them is one that precisely renews exactly these layers.

Laser resurfacing on the Fotona system is performed with the Er:YAG erbium laser. It vaporises a microscopic layer of skin "cold", with almost no heating of the surrounding tissue. The doctor sets the depth: from a light laser peel for radiant skin to deep resurfacing for wrinkles and texture.

What laser facial resurfacing treats

Resurfacing renews the upper layers of the skin, so it addresses everything visible on its surface.

  • Fine lines – around the lips, on the forehead, cheeks and at the corners of the eyes.
  • Pigmentation – sun spots and age spots, uneven skin tone.
  • Enlarged pores – the skin becomes firmer and pores less visible.
  • Uneven texture – roughness, "tired" texture, signs of photoageing.
  • Dull complexion – after the treatment, the skin looks fresh and radiant.

The advantage of the erbium laser is its ability to perform controlled, ultra-precise ablation with minimal thermal damage.

Types of laser resurfacing and peels

The depth and mode are chosen to suit your goal and how much downtime you are prepared for.

  • Light laser peel

    Renews the most superficial layer. The skin becomes smooth and radiant. Redness fades within a few hours.

  • Hybrid peelSuperSMOOTH™

    A single pulse first heats the deeper layers and then performs a light peel. Texture and firmness improve in one session.

  • Fractional resurfacing

    The laser treats the skin in micro-dots, leaving untouched tissue between them. Deep action with faster healing.

  • Deep resurfacing

    Full renewal of the upper layers for pronounced photoageing and wrinkles. The strongest effect, with about a week of recovery.

Laser peel or chemical peel

Both methods renew the skin, but the laser gives the doctor more control over depth.

How laser skin resurfacing is performed

  • The doctor examines the skin and chooses the type and depth of treatment
  • The skin is cleansed and, if needed, a numbing cream is applied
  • The eyes are protected with goggles
  • The laser covers the area in even passes; you feel warmth and tingling
  • A soothing product is applied after the treatment

Aftercare following a laser peel

  • Do not pick off flakes or crusts
  • Apply SPF 50 every day
  • Use gentle restorative skincare
  • Avoid saunas, swimming pools and tanning while the skin heals
  • No other peels or scrubs for 2–3 weeks

How many laser resurfacing sessions you need

After deep resurfacing, one session is often enough. Light and hybrid peels are usually done as a course of 3–4 sessions, 3–4 weeks apart.

The skin looks fresher as soon as the redness subsides. New collagen keeps forming for several months, so texture and firmness continue to improve.

The best time for laser resurfacing is autumn and winter, when the sun is less intense. If you need to reduce scars, there is a separate treatment – scar treatment.

Frequently asked questions about laser resurfacing and peels

What is the difference between laser resurfacing and a laser peel?

It is the same method at different depths. A laser peel renews the most superficial layer and requires almost no downtime. Resurfacing goes deeper, so it smooths wrinkles and texture more effectively, but the skin needs a few days to heal.

Is laser facial resurfacing painful?

A light peel feels like warmth and tingling. Before fractional and deep resurfacing, a numbing cream is applied, so the procedure is comfortable.

How long is the recovery after laser resurfacing?

After a light peel, redness fades within a few hours. After fractional resurfacing, the skin is red and peels for 3–5 days; after deep resurfacing, for about a week.

When is the best time for a laser peel?

Autumn and winter are best, when the sun is less intense. In summer, the treatment is only possible with strict SPF 50 protection and no tan.

Can laser resurfacing be done on the neck, décolleté and hands?

Yes. These areas show age and sun spots early, so they are often treated together with the face. The doctor selects a separate mode for the thinner skin of the neck and décolleté.

Who should not have laser resurfacing?

The treatment is not performed during pregnancy or breastfeeding, in cancer, active herpes or skin inflammation, a fresh tan, a tendency to keloids, or while taking isotretinoin or photosensitising medication.
