Depending on what you are trying to address with laser resurfacing dictates if you need to prep your skin beforehand. In most cases, proactive skin care will produce better results. It’s essential to wear sunscreen daily to help prepare the skin. Laser resurfacing on the face also does well when the skin is treated with vitamin C serums in the weeks and months leading up to the face laser treatment since vitamin C helps encourage the production of elasticity and collagen and promotes healthy healing. Other helpful skincare ingredients include retinoids, growth factors, and peptides to aid in better collagen production from the face laser resurfacing treatment.
