Renew Your Skin and Boost Collagen Production

Laser skin resurfacing is a non-surgical treatment that improves skin tone, texture, and overall clarity. At Holländer Clinic, we use advanced Clear + Brilliant and Fraxel laser technologies to gently exfoliate the damaged outer layers of skin while stimulating collagen renewal beneath the surface. This process helps reduce fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, acne scars, and other visible imperfections—revealing a more radiant, youthful complexion.

  • Sun damage
  • Acne scars
  • Enlarged pores
  • Uneven skin tone
  • Rough skin texture
  • Aging hands
  • Age spots and pigmentation
  • Dull or tired-looking skin

How Does Laser Skin Resurfacing Work?

Laser skin resurfacing is a precision treatment that works by removing damaged layers of skin while triggering your body’s healing response to build new collagen. During your consultation for laser skin resurfacing in Santa Monica, we evaluate your skin concerns and select the appropriate device—either Clear + Brilliant or Fraxel—based on your goals, skin type, and desired downtime. Both technologies deliver transformative results, but each uses a different approach to resurface and rejuvenate your skin.

Clear + Brilliant

Clear + Brilliant is a gentle yet effective laser skin resurfacing treatment designed to enhance skin tone, texture, and overall radiance. By creating microscopic treatment zones in the skin, it stimulates collagen production and encourages natural cell renewal. Suitable for all skin types, this non-invasive procedure helps reduce fine lines, enlarged pores, and early signs of aging, revealing smoother, softer, and more youthful-looking skin with minimal downtime and long-lasting results.

Fraxel Laser Resurfacing

Fraxel laser resurfacing is a non-ablative, fractional treatment that targets thousands of microscopic zones beneath the skin’s surface while leaving the surrounding tissue intact. This promotes faster healing and is ideal for treating fine lines, pigmentation, and uneven tone with minimal downtime. Fraxel gently resurfaces the skin by stimulating collagen without fully removing the top layer, making it ideal for subtle improvements with less recovery time.

Laser Skin Resurfacing FAQs

What’s the Difference Between Clear + Brilliant and Fraxel Laser Treatments?

Clear + Brilliant resurfacing is ablative—it removes the outer layer of skin and penetrates deeply to stimulate collagen, making it ideal for more significant skin damage. Fraxel, on the other hand, is non-ablative and fractional and targets microscopic columns of skin to trigger repair without completely removing the surface. Fraxel typically has less downtime, while Clear + Brilliant delivers more dramatic results for deeper wrinkles and scars with extensive downtime.

How Many Sessions Will I Need?

This depends on the type of laser used and your specific goals. Clear + Brilliant treatments often provide substantial improvement in just one session, while Fraxel may require a series of 3 to 5 treatments spaced several weeks apart. We’ll create a personalized plan based on your specific goals.

What Should I Expect During Recovery?

Downtime depends on the laser used. Clear + Brilliant resurfacing typically requires 7-10 days of healing, during which you may experience redness, flaking, and tightness. Fraxel offers a shorter recovery window—around 2-5 days of mild redness and swelling.

Will My Skin Peel After Laser Resurfacing?

Yes, light to moderate peeling is expected, especially with Clear + Brilliant. This is a natural part of the process as old skin sheds to reveal newer, healthier layers underneath. Avoid picking or exfoliating the skin during this phase, and follow all aftercare guidelines for the best outcome.

How Long Will the Results Last?

The results can last several years, especially with Clear + Brilliant. However, natural aging and sun exposure will continue to affect your skin over time. To maintain your results, we recommend medical-grade skincare, sun protection, and periodic maintenance sessions when appropriate.
