Light-Based Resurfacing Treatment in Singapore
Used in the management of acne scars, uneven texture, and surface skin changes
Light-based resurfacing is a non-surgical dermatological procedure used to address certain skin concerns such as textural irregularities, scars, and localised signs of ageing. It works by delivering energy into targeted layers of the skin, supporting natural renewal processes.
What Does This Treatment Do?
This treatment creates controlled micro-injuries in selected areas of the skin, prompting a healing response. The energy is delivered in a patterned manner, allowing unaffected skin around the treatment zones to assist with recovery.
It may be considered for:
- Acne-related scarring
- Uneven skin texture or enlarged pores
- Fine lines in specific areas
- Surface-level sun-related skin changes
- Patchy tone or rough areas
How It Works
The energy penetrates into the deeper layers of the skin while leaving surrounding tissue intact. This approach supports collagen formation and natural skin regeneration over time.
What to Expect
Consultation
Dr Melissa Tan will conduct a medical assessment to determine suitability. Skin type, medical history, and treatment objectives will be reviewed.
During the Procedure
A topical numbing product may be applied beforehand. The device is then used on selected skin areas.
Recovery
Mild redness, swelling, or a sandpaper-like texture may occur for several days post-procedure. Most individuals recover within one week. Sun protection and skincare instructions will be provided.
Treatment Response
Changes in skin texture may become noticeable over time as collagen remodelling occurs. Depending on the condition, multiple sessions may be recommended.
Performed in a Medical Setting
This procedure is performed by Dr Melissa Tan, a dermatologist registered with the Ministry of Health, in a licensed clinical environment following evidence-based protocols.
