How Advanced Skin Resurfacing Stimulates Collagen Production

Tired of skin that looks dull, feels rough, or shows early signs of aging? You’re not alone. Many people—whether navigating their 30s or well into their 60s—find themselves wondering how to rejuvenate their skin in a way that’s both effective and non-invasive. While creams and serums can offer temporary hydration, they often fail to reach the deeper layers of the skin, where fundamental transformation begins.

That’s where advanced skin resurfacing comes in. At Laser Eye and Aesthetics, clients are turning to TwinLight™ Fractional Rejuvenation—a precise, laser-based treatment that not only smooths and brightens but also actively stimulates collagen production. If you’ve ever wondered how this modern treatment works or whether it’s right for your skin goals, this guide is here to clarify everything in clear, approachable terms.

What Is Advanced Skin Resurfacing?

Advanced skin resurfacing in London, ON refers to non-surgical treatments that remove damaged outer layers of skin, stimulate cellular turnover, and trigger the natural production of collagen—the essential protein that gives skin its structure, elasticity, and youthful appearance.

At Laser Eye and Aesthetics in London, ON, this is achieved through TwinLight Fractional Rejuvenation, a three-step laser procedure that utilizes dual wavelengths (Er: YAG and Nd: YAG lasers) to deliver deep yet precise results. It’s not just about exfoliating—it’s about waking up your skin’s regenerative processes and encouraging new, stronger collagen to form.

Think of it like resetting the surface of your skin and rebuilding it from the inside out—with minimal downtime.

The Science of Collagen and How Skin Resurfacing Helps

Collagen is often praised as the “glue” of our skin, but as we age, its production slows. Starting as early as your mid-20s, your skin naturally loses about 1% of its collagen per year. This decline results in thinner skin, fine lines, sagging, and an uneven texture.

Here’s how advanced skin resurfacing helps counteract that:

• Step 1: Conditioning with Nd: YAG Laser
  This step heats the skin layers to stimulate existing collagen and prepare the tissue for fractional treatment.
  
• Step 2: Fractional Therapy with Er: YAG Laser
  A laser targets tiny zones in the skin, removing old, damaged cells while prompting a healing response. Your body rushes in to repair these micro-injuries by producing fresh collagen and elastin.
  
• Step 3: Light Peeling
  A superficial laser peel smooths the surface texture and enhances your glow, revealing healthier-looking skin that appears more vibrant almost immediately.
  

Unlike topical products that sit on the skin’s surface, laser skin resurfacing goes deeper—reaching the dermis where collagen is produced.

What Makes TwinLight™ Technology Different?

Not all laser resurfacing systems are created equal. The TwinLight™ Fractional Rejuvenation system, used at Laser Eye and Aesthetics, stands out for its dual-laser precision and customized treatment approach.

• Er: YAG Laser gently removes aged skin layer by layer without damaging the surrounding tissue.
  
• Nd: YAG Laser penetrates deeper to heat and stimulate collagen fibers, boosting firmness from beneath the skin.
  
• Three-tiered process addresses both surface texture and deeper structural issues.
  

Treatment Experience: What to Expect Before, During, and After

Knowing what to expect can help reduce anxiety and boost confidence in your skincare decision. Here’s how the experience typically unfolds:

Before Your Appointment

• Avoid sun exposure for 7–10 days prior
  
• Stop retinoids and exfoliants 3 days ahead.
  
• Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin.
  

During the Appointment

• The treatment takes around 30–60 minutes, depending on the intensity.
  
• You’ll feel warmth or a mild tingling sensation, but it’s generally well-tolerated.
  
• A numbing cream may be applied to minimize discomfort.
  

After the Treatment

• Mild redness or flaking is normal and usually subsides within 2–5 days.
  
• Avoid hot showers, exercise, and active skincare for 48 hours.
  
• Moisturize generously and use SPF 30 or higher to protect your healing skin.
  

Many patients begin to see a refreshed glow within a few days and continue to experience tightening and texture improvements over several weeks as collagen continues to form.

Benefits of Advanced Skin Resurfacing

Advanced skin resurfacing offers both short- and long-term benefits that go beyond surface-level changes. Here’s what clients often notice:

• Improved Skin Texture
  Reduces roughness, flakiness, and uneven patches
  
• Diminished Fine Lines and Wrinkles
  Stimulates collagen to naturally plump the skin
  
• Brightened Skin Tone
  Helps fade sun spots, pigmentation, and dullness
  
• Reduced Acne Scars
  Smooths out pitted or textured scarring over time
  
• Smaller Pores
  Creates a more refined and even appearance
  
• Gradual, Natural-Looking Results
  No sudden changes—just better skin, week after week
  
• Minimal Downtime
  Many resume normal activities within 1–3 days.
  

When combined with other anti-aging facial treatments or skincare routines, the results become even more pronounced.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Skin Resurfacing?

You don’t need to wait until deep lines appear to benefit from this treatment. It’s often more effective when started preventively. The ideal candidates include:

• Adults in their 30s to 60s are noticing early signs of aging
  
• Individuals with sun damage, pigmentation, or mild scarring
  
• Anyone frustrated with uneven skin tone or rough texture.
  
• Clients who want to maintain results from previous treatments (like injectables or facials)
  
• Those looking for non-invasive skin rejuvenation without the risks of surgery
  

Because TwinLight™ is safe for most skin tones and types, it’s an excellent option for a wide variety of people seeking skin texture improvement therapy.

Is This the Right Time to Start?

If you’re already investing in skincare, why not take it one step further by stimulating your body’s natural collagen production? Whether you have a special event coming up, want to prepare your skin for seasonal changes, or simply feel that your current routine isn’t delivering the results you’re looking for, advanced skin resurfacing can offer the deeper results you’re seeking.

Many clients choose to start their treatment in the fall or winter to minimize sun exposure during the healing process, but with proper care, treatments can be performed safely year-round.
