Nearly all cells in the body eventually die and are replaced by new cells, and the skin is no exception. Our skin can shed the old, dead cells quickly when we are young, revealing the healthy new skin cells for a refreshed appearance. However, the cellular turnover and exfoliation process slows down as we get older, leaving sun damage, scars, wrinkles, and other signs of aging on our skin. At the California Skin & Laser Center, patients in the Elk Grove area have a variety of laser skin resurfacing options to promote cellular renewal and revitalize their appearance.
How laser resurfacing works
Many skincare treatments have been designed to take advantage of the body’s natural healing and regeneration abilities. When the skin is injured in a controlled manner, it stimulates a variety of restorative processes, including the formation of healthy new skin cells and youthful collagen production. Laser skin resurfacing is designed to take advantage of these processes by using precise pulses of light energy to exfoliate the skin, promote healthy cellular renewal, and reduce the signs of aging.
Benefits of laser resurfacing
While the early forms of laser skin resurfacing were fairly aggressive and resulted in extended downtimes, advances in laser technologies have enabled us to provide a gentler approach to treatment while still achieving remarkable results. Modern laser skin resurfacing has become incredibly popular because it is an effective yet gentle way to improve a variety of skin conditions, including:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Brown spots and other areas of discoloration
- Sun-damaged skin and sunspots
- Loose, lax skin
- Rough texture
- Uneven skin tone
- Acne scars
- Large pores

Your customized laser skin resurfacing plan
At the California Skin & Laser Center, Dr. Gerald Bock and his team provide completely customized treatment plans that are designed based on your specific skincare needs, treatment preferences, and desired end results. We offer multiple laser skin resurfacing options, including the Sciton laser and the Asclepion MCL-30 fractional Erbium YAG laser.
- The Sciton laser is a great option for patients seeking younger-looking skin; the depth of the treatment can be customized based on your unique needs using the advanced scanner and computerized controls, all with a reduced chance of side effects.
- The Sciton Profractional laser uses fractional technology only to treat a portion of the skin with each pass, limiting the injuries to the skin, reducing discomfort during the procedure, and minimizing downtime post-treatment.
In addition to providing wonderful anti-aging effects on the face, these lasers can also be used on other areas of the body, such as the chest, neck, arms, and hands.
