What Is Skin Resurfacing?
Soften Wrinkles, Erase Imperfections, and Reveal Your Glow
Our RF and laser skin resurfacing treatments use energy-based technologies to remove damaged outer layers of skin while stimulating the body’s natural healing response. This process triggers the production of new collagen and healthy skin cells, effectively remodeling the skin’s surface. The result is a dramatic improvement in texture, tone, and firmness over time.
At Glow, we utilize premier technologies to deliver customized results for a range of concerns, from gentle rejuvenation to targeted scar revision.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is a good candidate for RF and laser skin resurfacing?
Skin resurfacing treatments can be ideal for patients in good general health who want to address:
- Acne scars or other minor scarring
- Fine lines and moderate wrinkles
- Sun damage and pigmentation irregularities
- Rough or uneven skin texture
- Enlarged pores
- Minor skin laxity
During your complimentary consultation, a member of our physician-led team will assess your skin and goals to determine which skin resurfacing treatment is the perfect match for your needs.
What is the difference between Sublative RF and laser resurfacing?
While both treatments are excellent for improving skin texture, they use different forms of energy. Laser resurfacing uses focused light to treat the skin, which is ideal for addressing surface-level concerns like pigmentation alongside texture.
Sublative uses bi-polar radiofrequency energy, which focuses heat deeper in the skin with minimal disruption to the surface. This makes it a highly effective and gentle option for stimulating collagen, tightening skin, and treating acne scars with very little downtime.
Is Sublative RF resurfacing painful?
Sublative is a very well-tolerated procedure. We apply a topical numbing cream before the treatment to prevent discomfort. Most clients describe the sensation as a warm, prickling feeling that is brief and manageable. The gentle nature of the Sublative energy makes it one of the more comfortable options for effective skin resurfacing.
How does laser skin resurfacing work?
Laser resurfacing works by delivering precise columns of energy deep into the skin. This creates micro-injuries that trigger the body's natural healing response, sweeping away old, damaged cells and stimulating the production of new, healthy collagen and elastin. This process renews the skin from the inside out.
Is laser skin resurfacing safe?
Yes. When performed by a trained and qualified provider under physician supervision, laser skin resurfacing is a very safe procedure. We use advanced, FDA-cleared technologies and customize treatment settings to your specific skin type and condition to ensure both safety and efficacy.
How long do laser skin resurfacing results last?
The collagen your body produces as a result of the treatment is permanent. However, your skin will continue to age naturally. With a proper skincare regimen and sun protection, the results can last for years. Many patients opt for a maintenance treatment once a year to preserve their results.
How much is skin resurfacing?
The cost of your RF or laser skin resurfacing treatment in Houston depends on the technology used, the size of the treatment area, and the number of sessions in your plan. During your consultation, we will create a personalized strategy and provide you with clear, transparent pricing. Our medspa also partners with Cherry to offer flexible monthly payment options that fit your budget.
Our RF and Laser Skin Resurfacing Treatments
Sublative™ Rejuvenation
This unique treatment uses fractionated bi-polar radiofrequency (RF) energy to heat the deep layers of the dermis, stimulating significant collagen production with minimal impact on the skin’s surface. It is highly effective for improving wrinkles, skin laxity, and overall texture.
Sublative™ Scar Treatment
This targeted RF skin resurfacing approach effectively improves the appearance of acne scars, surgical scars, and stretch marks. By promoting cell regrowth and reforming collagen from within, it helps smooth and blend scarring for a more even complexion.
Fotona TwinLight® Laser Resurfacing
This advanced method combines two laser wavelengths in one treatment to precisely target imperfections, leaving surrounding healthy tissue untouched. It provides comprehensive rejuvenation by improving skin tone and texture while stimulating deep collagen growth.
What to Expect During an RF or Laser Skin Resurfacing Treatment
A skin resurfacing session at Glow typically takes 30–60 minutes. To ensure your comfort, a topical numbing cream is applied before the treatment begins. After cleansing your skin, your provider will expertly guide the treatment applicator over the targeted areas. For laser-based procedures, protective eyewear will be provided for your safety and comfort.
What to Expect After a Skin Resurfacing Treatment
Following your treatment, it is common to experience redness and a sensation similar to a sunburn for 24-48 hours. The subsequent healing process will vary slightly depending on the technology used:
- For Sublative RF treatments, you may notice a grid-like pattern of tiny pink dots on the skin. This texture may feel like fine sandpaper and will naturally exfoliate away within a few days, revealing smoother skin underneath.
- For Fotona TwinLight laser resurfacing, it is more common to experience light, generalized peeling or flaking as the outer layer of skin renews.
In either case, this "social downtime" is brief, and most patients feel comfortable resuming their normal routine within a few days. While initial improvements are visible once the skin has healed, the most significant results appear over the next several months as new collagen is formed. For optimal outcomes, a series of three treatments spaced four to six weeks apart is often recommended.
