Introduction
Laser skin resurfacing removes or heats selected skin layers to improve texture, scars, wrinkles or pigmentation. Skin type and the condition being treated determine the safest settings.
When it may be considered
A dermatologist may discuss it after confirming the diagnosis and reviewing sun exposure, medicines, healing history and expectations.
How it is performed
Fractional or fully ablative techniques create controlled treatment zones. A staged plan and strict sun protection help reduce complications.
Treatment cost by approach
Published costs can differ by procedure type, clinical complexity and what the hospital includes. These figures are informational planning estimates; the treating team confirms the applicable price after reviewing the patient’s records.
CO2 laser resurfacing
$39 - $102 per session
Skin-whitening laser treatment
$51 - $507 per session
What can affect the final cost?
The total can change with the procedure technique, clinical complexity, surgeon and hospital, room category, investigations, medicines, implants or devices, complications, rehabilitation and follow-up. Ask the hospital which items are included before making travel arrangements.

Continuity of care

Recovery and follow-up
Recovery after laser skin resurfacing varies with the technique and the patient’s health. The hospital should explain expected symptoms, activity limits, warning signs, follow-up and when normal activities can resume.
Risks and alternatives
Possible risks depend on the procedure and individual factors. Ask about bleeding, infection, anaesthesia, treatment-specific complications, recurrence, alternatives and what support is available if recovery changes.
