At the same time, the laser heats the underlying skin (dermis), which causes collagen fibers to shrink. As the wound heals, new skin forms that's smoother and tighter. Ablative laser resurfacing typically takes between 30 minutes and two hours, depending on the technique used and the size of the area treated. Nonablative laser resurfacing can be done in your doctor's office. The treatment area will be cleaned, and your eyes will be covered.
