Laser Resurfacing Skin Rejuvenation

If you’ve started noticing that your skin looks a little less even than it used to, or that texture and fine lines show up more in certain light, you’re not imagining it. Sun exposure, natural collagen changes, and slower cell turnover can add up over time. Laser resurfacing is one option some patients explore when they want to support smoother-looking texture and more even tone without surgery.

The Laser Cocktail at Clinic 5C can refresh your skin tone and texture, soften lines, and restore a healthy glow without surgery.

Treatments are tailored specifically to your skin and can fit busy schedules in Spokane and the Inland Northwest.

What Is Our Laser Cocktail?

The “Laser Cocktail” is our shorthand for a customized resurfacing session that blends settings and techniques based on your skin type, the areas you want to focus on, and the amount of downtime you can realistically take. In general, resurfacing works by creating controlled micro-injury at the surface and in deeper layers of the skin, which can support the skin’s natural repair processes over time.

C02 laser resurfacing is one of the most well-known advanced skin treatments used, but we also can offer speciality lasers depending on your skin goals. Our in-house laser expert, Dr. Ryan Kelm, can consult you on which skin laser resurfacing treatment is right for you.

Who Tends To Ask About This?

You might be looking into laser resurfacing if you’re bothered by uneven tone, early fine lines, rough texture, or acne scarring that makeup does not fully blur.

You’ll also want to talk to your surgeon timing and skin history. If you tend to hyperpigment, have melasma, get cold sores, or have very sensitive skin, your plan may need extra precautions, a different intensity, or a different device altogether. A consult is where you map that out.

What Happens During A Session

1. Personalized Plan
   Your provider evaluates skin type, goals, and timeline to set precise parameters.
2. Precision Resurfacing
   The laser lifts the outer layer of skin and polishes texture while targeted heat encourages collagen remodeling.
3. Collagen Renewal
   Over the following weeks, new collagen and elastin improve firmness, tone, and fine lines.

Downtime depends on intensity. A lighter treatment may look like a few days of redness and dryness. A deeper treatment can involve several days of more noticeable redness and peeling, with lingering pinkness that gradually fades. Your provider can help you choose an intensity that matches your calendar, not just your skin goals.

Why People Choose Laser Resurfacing

The most common reasons people choose resurfacing are to support smoother-looking texture, soften the look of fine lines, and improve how evenly tone reflects light. If acne scarring or sun-related texture is part of your story, your plan may include targeted passes in specific areas rather than treating the whole face the same way.

Recovery and Aftercare

Most patients describe treatment as tolerable with topical anesthesia and cooling. It can be normal to expect temporary warmth, redness, and flaking as fresh skin emerges.

Your provider will give a simple home routine and, if desired, advanced recovery support options at Clinic 5C like:

• LED light therapy to calm redness
• Targeted skincare and nutraceuticals to support collagen formation
• Hyperbaric oxygen sessions for accelerated healing

Is Laser Resurfacing Enough On Its Own?

You may also wonder whether resurfacing is enough on its own, or whether another approach makes more sense for your main concern.

Some patients ask about pairing resurfacing with PRP, LED Red Light Therapy, or Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, and some even decide surgery is a better match for structural changes. The most common surgical procedures we see paired with laser resurfacing at Clinic 5C include a facelift, brow lift, and/or eyelid surgery.

Note: PDGF has been a hot topic in the regenerative aesthetic space for possible improved healing. Read about Clinic 5C's approach to Platelet-Derived Growth Factors here.

Why Choose Clinic 5C in Spokane

Choosing where to do laser therapy for your skin matters because settings and aftercare are not one-size-fits-all.

At Clinic 5C, your laser cocktail plan is built around your skin type, your tolerance for downtime, and what “natural” means to you. If you’re also supporting skin health from the inside out, we can coordinate that conversation across dermatology, regenerative, and functional medicine for added support.

Take the Next Step

If you want to understand whether resurfacing fits your skin goals, schedule a consultation. You’ll leave with a clear plan, realistic expectations around downtime, and options that match your timeline.
