What is Laser Resurfacing?
Laser resurfacing uses focused light energy to remove damaged outer layers of skin and stimulate collagen in the deeper layers. It improves fine lines, sun damage, acne scars, age spots, and overall texture.
There are two main types. Ablative lasers (CO2, Erbium) remove the top layer of skin — more dramatic results, more downtime (7 to 14 days of peeling and redness). Non-ablative lasers (Fraxel, Clear + Brilliant) heat deeper layers without removing the surface — gentler, 1 to 3 days of downtime, but typically requires a series of 3 to 5 sessions.
Laser resurfacing is almost always priced per session. Full-face treatments cost more than targeted spot treatments. Some practices offer package pricing for multi-session series.

Laser resurfacing in New York typically costs $1,120 to $4,900 per session, depending on the laser type and area treated. Ablative lasers (CO2, Erbium) cost more than non-ablative lasers (Fraxel, Clear + Brilliant).

What to ask your provider
- Which laser do you recommend for my skin type and concerns? Why that one?
- How many sessions will I need, and what is the total cost?
- What does downtime actually look like — am I red, peeling, or back to normal?
- What is your experience treating my skin tone? (Darker skin tones need specific lasers.)
- What is pre-treatment skincare? How long do I avoid retinoids and sun?
- Who is operating the laser — an MD, PA, NP, or licensed laser technician?
Frequently asked questions
How much does laser resurfacing cost in New York?
Laser resurfacing in New York typically costs $800 to $3,500 per session. Non-ablative lasers (Fraxel, Clear + Brilliant) run $800 to $1,800. Ablative lasers (CO2, Erbium) run $1,500 to $3,500. Non-ablative treatments often require a series of 3 to 5 sessions.
What is the difference between ablative and non-ablative lasers?
Ablative lasers (CO2, Erbium) remove the top layer of skin for more dramatic results with 7 to 14 days of peeling and redness. Non-ablative lasers (Fraxel, Clear + Brilliant) heat deeper layers without removing the surface — gentler, 1 to 3 days of downtime, but typically need a series of 3 to 5 sessions.
How long does laser resurfacing last?
Results from a single ablative treatment can last 5 to 10 years. Non-ablative treatments generally last 1 to 2 years and benefit from annual maintenance. Continued sun protection is critical for maintaining results.
Is laser resurfacing safe for all skin tones?
Some lasers carry a higher risk of hyperpigmentation on darker skin tones. Always ask your provider about their experience with your skin type and which laser is safest. Fraxel, Clear + Brilliant, and certain Erbium lasers are generally considered safer across skin tones.
What is recovery like?
Non-ablative recovery is 1 to 3 days of mild redness and swelling. Ablative recovery is 7 to 14 days of peeling, crusting, and significant redness. Plan time off social events and work from home if possible during the peak recovery window.
