Laser skin resurfacing gets the most optimal results when it is performed on a person who has realistic expectations, has a receptive skin type, has overall good health and does not smoke. You should be free of significant medical considerations, not taking contraindicated prescription or over-the-counter medications or supplements or have any other condition that may cause unnecessary risk during or complications after laser skin resurfacing.

Although laser skin resurfacing does not involve needles or incisions, it is still considered invasive by some cosmetic providers because of the use of the laser technology. For this reason, there are some people for whom other options are best. People with darker skin pigmentation may develop discoloration as a result of laser skin resurfacing. Also, patients with medical conditions such as Lupus or other connective tissue disorders and certain autoimmune disorders are not ideal candidates for laser skin resurfacing. Although laser skin resurfacing is effective in treating acne scarring, revealing more even and vibrant skin, patients with active cystic acne or using the drug Accutane are not good candidates for this treatment.
