Laser Skin Resurfacing in Greenwich, CT and Fairfield County

Laser skin resurfacing is an advanced treatment designed to improve skin tone, texture, and overall quality by stimulating controlled skin renewal. Using powerful, targeted lasers, damaged outer layers of skin are treated while encouraging collagen production in the deeper layers.

This process helps address concerns such as fine lines, uneven pigmentation, sun damage, acne scarring, and textural irregularities. The result is smoother, clearer, more refined skin over time. Educated at Yale, Harvard–MIT, the University of Pennsylvania, and NewYork-Presbyterian’s Columbia and Cornell campuses, Dr. Shomorony brings an enormous wealth of experience with a variety of different state-of-the-art facial lasers to each procedure, as well as advanced training in facial anatomy and tissue response.

To clinically appropriate patients, our practice offers the following laser and energy-based technologies:

Sciton Contour TRL
Sciton Full-field Ablative Erbium-YAG
ProFractional / Fractional Erbium-YAG
IPL (intense pulsed light) / BBL (broadband light)
BTL Exilis Ultra

What Laser Skin Resurfacing Can Improve

Laser resurfacing may address:
Fine lines and early wrinkles
Sun damage and age spots
Uneven skin tone
Acne scars
Enlarged pores
Rough or irregular texture
Mild skin laxity

Because different devices target different layers and concerns, treatment plans are individualized rather than standardized.

What to Expect

Because our practice offers multiple laser and energy-based technologies, the exact experience varies depending on the device selected and the depth of treatment recommended. During consultation, Dr. Shomorony will personally review the treatment plan with you, explain what to expect during recovery and whether to plan for additional sessions, and ensure all of your questions are addressed so you feel fully informed about your specific procedure.

All laser skin resurfacing is performed in our Greenwich office. Depending on the depth of treatment, a topical anesthetic may be applied for comfort. During the procedure, patients often describe a warming, tingling, or prickling sensation as controlled energy is delivered to targeted layers of the skin.

Following treatment, temporary redness and sensitivity are typical. The duration varies based on the intensity of the procedure—lighter treatments may involve mild redness and flaking for several days, while deeper resurfacing may require a longer recovery period. Detailed aftercare instructions are provided to support proper healing.

As the skin recovers, collagen remodeling continues beneath the surface. Improvement in tone, texture, and overall skin quality develops gradually over the weeks and months following treatment. Detailed aftercare instructions are provided to support proper healing.

Frequently Asked Questions Laser Skin Resurfacing

What lasers do you use?

Our practice utilizes a range of advanced laser and light-based platforms to address varying skin concerns and recovery preferences; these include Sciton Contour TRL, Sciton Profractional / Fractional Erbium:YAG, Sciton Full-field Ablative Erbium:YAG, IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) / BBL (BroadBand Light), BTL Exilis Ultra among others. Certain lasers target surface texture and fine lines, while others are designed to treat pigmentation, vascular concerns, or deeper collagen stimulation. The most appropriate device is selected during consultation based on your skin type, treatment goals, and desired recovery time.

Is laser resurfacing painful?

Most patients tolerate laser resurfacing well, particularly with the appropriate comfort measures in place. During treatment, patients commonly describe the sensation as warmth or a snapping feeling against the skin. For more intensive resurfacing, the sensation can certainly feel stronger, which is why anesthesia is selected thoughtfully based on the depth of treatment. This may include topical numbing or local anesthetic to ensure comfort throughout the procedure.

How much downtime is involved?

Downtime depends on the type and depth of laser resurfacing performed. Lighter treatments may involve several days of redness or flaking, while more intensive resurfacing can require one to two weeks—or even months—of visible healing. After the initial recovery period, some residual pinkness may persist for several weeks, and occasionally even longer, as the skin continues to remodel. This is a normal part of the healing process. Dr. Shomorony will review the expected recovery timeline for your specific treatment so you know exactly what to anticipate.

When will I see results?

Initial improvement is visible once the skin has healed. Collagen production continues for weeks to months, resulting in gradual and continued refinement of skin texture and tone.

How many treatments will I need?

The number of treatments required depends on the type of laser selected, the severity of the concern being addressed, and the degree of improvement desired. Some patients achieve meaningful results with a single treatment, particularly with more intensive resurfacing. Others may benefit from a series of sessions spaced over time to build gradual improvement while minimizing downtime.
