If years of sun exposure, acne scars, pigmentation, or premature aging have left your skin looking dull and damaged, it might be time to consider something stronger than topical creams or salon facials. Ablative Laser Resurfacing at HALOS Dermatology and Aesthetics in Chennai is a cutting-edge skin rejuvenation procedure that precisely removes the outer layers of damaged skin to reveal a smoother, firmer, and more youthful surface underneath.

This procedure uses medical-grade laser technology to target imperfections deep within the skin—while simultaneously boosting collagen production for long-term structural improvement. Ideal for deep wrinkles, acne pits, and even surgical scars, this treatment provides dramatic results in just one or two sessions. All treatments at HALOS are supervised by experienced dermatologists to ensure safety, comfort, and results tailored to your skin.

  • Removes deep wrinkles, scars, and sun damage
  • Stimulates collagen remodeling and skin tightening
  • Evens out skin tone and improves texture
  • Only 1–2 sessions needed for visible transformation
  • FDA-approved technology, safe under expert care
  • Best suited for moderate to severe skin concerns

How Ablative Laser Resurfacing Works

Ablative laser resurfacing uses intensely focused beams—such as CO2 or Er:YAG lasers—to vaporize damaged skin layers. This triggers natural skin healing and collagen regeneration, resulting in smoother, firmer skin. Unlike non-ablative options, this treatment provides quicker, more dramatic changes by targeting both the epidermis and dermis.

At HALOS, we use advanced systems with precise depth control and safety features. After a consultation and patch test, treatment is performed with care, followed by a guided aftercare plan. Peeling and redness during the healing phase are normal—once complete, your skin appears visibly renewed.

  • Targets both surface and deep skin damage
  • Triggers natural healing and collagen formation
  • Thermal tech for faster tissue repair
  • Customized to your skin tone and concern
  • Visible changes within 7–10 days post-healing
  • Results can last months or years with care

Who Should Consider Ablative Laser Resurfacing at HALOS?

This treatment is especially beneficial for individuals with moderate to severe skin concerns that haven’t responded well to lighter treatments like chemical peels, facials, or microneedling. It’s ideal for people looking to correct deep acne scars, stubborn pigmentation, enlarged pores, wrinkles, or rough texture. If you’ve tried multiple skin rejuvenation treatments but still feel like your skin lacks smoothness or clarity, ablative resurfacing offers the depth of transformation you may need.

At HALOS, we carefully assess your skin’s current condition, medical history, and goals before recommending this treatment. Ablative lasers are powerful tools and must be used with care—especially on Indian skin, which is prone to post-inflammatory pigmentation. That’s why our dermatologist-led approach ensures that everything from laser intensity to recovery protocol is personalized. This makes ablative resurfacing a safe, high-impact solution for clients who want visible, long-term results with the guidance of an experienced skin specialist.

  • Clients with acne pitting or ice-pick scars
  • Individuals with sun-damaged or photoaged skin
  • Moderate to deep wrinkles and rough skin texture
  • Uneven pigmentation, melasma, or dark spots
  • Enlarged pores or skin laxity
  • People seeking fast, long-lasting improvement

What to Expect During and After Your Treatment

Before your procedure at HALOS, our team will cleanse your skin, apply numbing cream, and prepare you for laser resurfacing. The treatment is performed using medical-grade ablative lasers, which feel warm or tingling on the skin, but discomfort is minimized thanks to numbing and cooling systems. The session typically lasts 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area. Post-procedure, you can expect redness, slight swelling, and peeling, which are normal signs of skin renewal and usually subside in a few days to a week.

Recovery is a crucial part of this process. We provide clear aftercare instructions, including the use of healing creams, gentle cleansers, sun protection, and lifestyle tips to minimize irritation. You’ll start noticing visible improvements in skin texture and tone once the peeling phase is complete—usually within 7–10 days. Full collagen remodeling continues for several weeks, leading to further tightening and smoothing. The results from one session can last months, making it one of the most efficient treatments for long-term skin quality improvement.

  • Pre-treatment numbing ensures comfort
  • Visible redness and peeling for a few days post-procedure
  • Strict sun protection advised for 2–3 weeks
  • Results visible within 10–14 days
  • Skin continues to improve over months
  • Detailed aftercare plan provided at HALOS

Results You Can See—and Feel

Ablative laser resurfacing doesn’t just resurface the skin—it helps rebuild it from the inside out. Clients often report a major improvement in skin smoothness, clarity, firmness, and tone. Deep wrinkles soften, scars fade, and rough patches vanish. It’s like shedding years of damage to reveal a renewed, fresher version of your skin. Unlike treatments that need constant upkeep, ablative laser delivers results that last up to 12–18 months, especially when combined with proper skincare and sun protection.

At HALOS, we take before-and-after photographs to track your results across every session. Most clients experience emotional satisfaction as much as visual improvement—because regaining clear, even-toned skin often leads to better confidence and comfort. Whether you want to address acne scars, pigmentation, or signs of aging, this treatment provides a deep, transformative reset—all under medical supervision and personalized attention.

  • Smoother skin with fewer lines and creases
  • Brighter, more even-toned complexion
  • Long-term reduction of scars and sunspots
  • Better skin texture and reduced roughness
  • Minimal need for repeat treatments
  • Boost in self-confidence and skin health
