What Is Laser Skin Resurfacing?
Laser skin resurfacing is a nonsurgical treatment that helps reduce fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and other skin concerns, revealing smoother, more youthful-looking skin. At John L. Clayton, MD at Southridge Clinic Plastic Surgery, we use our practice's state-of-the-art SmartSkin® laser system to precisely target damaged skin, encouraging natural collagen production and renewal. Whether you're looking to soften the appearance of scars or smooth out uneven texture, SmartSkin laser skin treatments are designed to deliver dramatic, long-lasting results. If you're considering ways to refresh your look without surgery, contact our office in Riverton, UT to learn more about laser skin resurfacing and other nonsurgical options we offer.
How Do You Perform Laser Skin Resurfacing Treatments?
Before your laser skin resurfacing treatment, Dr. Clayton may recommend using a topical retinoid for a few weeks to prepare your skin and optimize your results. On the day of the procedure, a local anesthetic will be applied for mild treatments while deeper treatments may require sedation to ensure your comfort. During the procedure, you'll relax in our treatment chair as the SmartSkin laser passes over the targeted areas. You may feel a warming sensation from the laser, followed by cooling from the device's built-in system. Some patients describe mild discomfort, but it's generally well-tolerated with the anesthetic or sedation. Dr. Clayton will ensure you're as comfortable as possible throughout.
Recovery after laser skin resurfacing typically takes 5 – 7 days with redness and swelling subsiding gradually. Before you leave, Dr. Clayton will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to promote smooth healing.
What Are the Benefits of Laser Skin Resurfacing?
Laser skin resurfacing can dramatically improve your complexion by targeting fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven texture. It's an effective and noninvasive option for those looking to refresh their appearance without surgery, offering benefits that include:
- Smoothing fine lines and wrinkles
- Reducing the appearance of acne scars and other blemishes
- Improving skin tone and texture for a more youthful look
- Stimulating collagen production for longer-lasting results
The cost of laser skin resurfacing varies, depending on your personalized treatment plan. During your consultation, we'll discuss all the details and discuss flexible payment options to make it more affordable.

OBSESSED!! Dr. Clayton is amazing and so kind. He fixed my chest and helped relieve back and neck pain. My chest looks amazing. His staff is so kind and he has the best MA. Thank you for making me feel beautiful again.
Nice and very professional….great staff!!
So far one day after surgery, I am doing well. The prep, procedure and after care at the hospital was smooth and I felt well informed and listened to.
I had an outpatient procedure done at Riverton Hospital. The staff is great. Shout out to same day surgery nurse Stephanie and Morgan for their excellent care.
Dr Clayton and staff made me feel very comfortable.
