Our Signature Resurfacing Technologies

Our experienced providers balance treatment intensity with your lifestyle to ensure you achieve a "snatched" and refined look with maximum safety.

  • Alma Opus Plasma® (Fractional Plasma): This breakthrough technology uses fractional plasma energy to create targeted "micro-thermal" zones deep within the dermis. It provides the dramatic results of an ablative laser — remodeling skin structure and smoothing deep-set lines — but with significantly less recovery time.
  • PicoLazer: We are proud to be the state's northernmost point offering this advanced pico laser. It is a high-priority solution for clearing pigmentation, sun damage, and age spots with clinical precision.

Why Choose REFINED for Your Skin Reset?

  • Next-Gen Innovation: We are one of the few sources in the region for the revolutionary Alma Opus and PicoLazer technologies.
  • Advanced Credentials: Our certified professionals have the expertise to perform nearly any aesthetic service to reach your desired results.
  • Strategic Results: We focus on deep collagen remodeling to reveal a vibrant complexion that reflects light beautifully.

Pico Laser vs. Opus Plasma for Skin Resurfacing

While many experts agree that Opus Plasma® is more efficient for skin resurfacing vs. pico laser technology, not everyone is a good candidate for fractional plasma skin resurfacing. You may need to avoid it due to pregnancy, HIV, lupus, anemia, or epilepsy.

PicoLazer treatments are typically suitable for a broad range of skin types, including darker skin tones. Since our experts specialize in different types of skin resurfacing and have extensive experience with all skin types and races, we can find the right method for your particular skin type, preferences, and budget.

Skin Resurfacing FAQs

  • What's fractional skin resurfacing? Fractional resurfacing treats only a "fraction" of the skin's surface at a time, leaving small bridges of untreated skin to help speed up the healing process. This allows for deep collagen remodeling and dramatic results without the weeks of recovery required by older, fully ablative lasers.
  • What can I expect during a skin resurfacing treatment? After applying a topical numbing cream, the device is moved over the treatment area. You may feel a sensation of heat or tingling, but the procedure is generally well-tolerated. A typical session for the full face takes about 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Why is the PicoLazer special? Our pico laser technology is a top-focused service that offers advanced medical-grade clearance for skin irregularities. Being the northernmost provider makes our clinic a unique hub for this specific technology.
  • What's the downtime after skin resurfacing? Depending on the intensity, most patients experience redness and slight swelling for 24 to 72 hours, followed by a few days of minor flaking as the old skin is replaced. We provide a specialized medical-grade post-care kit to ensure a smooth and comfortable recovery.
  • How many resurfacing sessions are needed for optimal results? While some improvement is visible after one treatment with the pico laser or Opus Plasma®, up to three sessions are sometimes recommended to achieve the most dramatic results in skin tightening and wrinkle reduction.
