Advanced Resurfacing Treatment In Lehi, Utah
Experience the difference of expert skin resurfacing.
What is Advanced Resurfacing?
Advanced Resurfacing is a combination treatment of the PicoWay laser and the CO2 light laser. The PicoWay laser targets deeper pigmentation and imperfections with gentle bursts of ultra-fast light, shattering them into microscopic particles for your body to naturally remove while stimulating collagen production at the same time. The CO2 light laser resurfaces the top layer of skin mildly, improving the superficial texture changes and pigmentation. Unlike traditional lasers that remove entire layers of skin, this treatment targets microscopic areas, leaving the surrounding tissue intact for faster healing and minimal downtime. These two lasers use a gentle yet effective approach to tackling a wide range of skin concerns, leaving you with a smoother, brighter, and more youthful complexion.

The Smart Skin Difference
Our Board-certified Dermatologist and Advanced Practice Providers are Advanced Resurfacing experts, tailoring your treatment to your unique needs and desired results. Here's what sets us apart:
Bridging the Cosmetical / Medical Gap
This technology has been clinically proven to treat precancers. Insurance won’t cover the treatment, however, with today’s medical insurance financial hurdles, we include this as a treatment alternative for our patients. Patients can get precancer field treatment while also helping fine lines and pigment.
Custom Created
Dr. Smart has actually published multiple medical studies using similar technologies. He saw a deficit in our laser offerings, so he custom-built a laser protocol combining two powerful laser treatments to fill this deficit.
Comprehensive Technologies
We have access to a full range of treatment options. We have solutions to all needs and won’t be subject to recommending something just because that’s what we have like most practices.
Dermatologists are Skin Specialists
We know everything there is to know about skin. This allows us to go beyond what can be achieved at a spa or plastic surgeon’s office to give you the best recommendations for your goals.
Patients for Life Transparency
We want patients for life, not for one round of treatment. This means we won’t sell you on hopes and dreams. Seeking out cosmetic intervention is hard enough without the car salesman approach. We promise to provide options to meet you where you are at and retain you for life.

Cut through the marketing noise:
- Does Advanced Resurfacing hurt?
Yes. However, we have multiple options to minimize discomfort with numbing cream, cooling, nerve blocks, or oral sedation requiring a driver. Most patients report the sensation as tolerable. - How long does it take to see results?
You'll notice an improvement in tone and texture within weeks, with continued improvement for 3-6 months. - How many sessions do I need?
The number of sessions depends on your concerns. Our golden rule is 1-3 for pigment, and 4-6 for fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scarring. - Is it safe for all skin types?
Advanced Resurfacing is safe for most skin types, but a consultation is crucial to determine the best approach for you. - Will it scar?
Scarring is extremely rare with these lasers, thanks to their precise targeting and gentle technology.
Treatment Areas
Face
Reduce wrinkles, fine lines, age spots, sun damage, and scars for a firmer, more youthful look.
Neck
Tighten loose skin and combat crepey texture for a smoother, rejuvenated neck.
Hands
Erase age spots and rejuvenate hand skin for a youthful and confident appearance.
Chest & Décolletage
Improve sun damage, wrinkles, and uneven texture for a more radiant décolletage and chest.
Common Treatment Targets
Wrinkles & Fine Lines
Advanced Resurfacing mildly helps smooth away wrinkles, frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead lines.
Acne Scars
Reduce the appearance of both pitted and rolling acne scars for a smoother, more even complexion.
Sun Damage & Age Spots
Minimize discoloration, freckles, and sun spots for a brighter, more even skin tone.
Large Pores
Refine the appearance of enlarged pores for a smoother, more polished finish.
Preventative & Aging Gracefully
Advanced Resurfacing is one of our three secrets to aging gracefully. One treatment per year is the Hollywood secret and is something we recommend every patient consider if they have the means.
Post-Treatment Care
Sun protection
Wear SPF 30+ sunscreen daily to protect your rejuvenated skin.
Gentle cleansing & moisturizing
Use a gentle cleanser and moisturizer suitable for your skin type.
Hydration
Stay hydrated to support your skin's healing process.
Avoid picking
Resist the urge to pick at scabs or imperfections, as this can lead to scarring.
Similar treatments on the market:
Many lasers and devices claim to target similar concerns, but our Advanced Resurfacing laser treatment stands out for its unique, fractional approach that minimizes downtime and delivers consistent, predictable results. Here is how it compares:
- CO2 Full Laser.
This is the “CO2 Full Laser's little brother” It achieves the same end goal but is a gentle version of this resurfacing. We typically say that roughly 6 Advanced Resurfacing treatments will be equivalent to almost 1 full-face CO2. Advanced Resurfacing has the benefit of a more minimal healing experience but has the drawback of requiring a series of treatments. - Pico Resurfacing.
The Pico Resolve Laser is one of the lasers used in Advanced Resurfacing. Advanced Resurfacing will be a step up from a stand-alone pico resurfacing laser. - IPL Photofacial.
An IPL is comparable to an Advanced Resurfacing treatment in the treatment of brown pigmentation. However, an IPL will not help with fine lines and wrinkles despite what marketing tactics will tell you. An Advanced Resurfacing laser treatment will be the best option for someone who wants to see improvement in both pigment and texture. - Microneedling. Microneedling is the opposite of an IPL. It will be comparable to the Advanced Resurfacing in terms of improvement of texture, but will not treat brown pigmentation or sun damage.
- Chemical Peel.
Chemical Peels are comparable only for melasma patients. Chemical peels will boast a lot that they simply cannot deliver on. No real textural improvement will be seen in comparison to an Advanced Resurfacing treatment. It will also not do as well with pigment.
Possible Side Effects:
- Redness
- Swelling
- Bruising
- Peeling (7-10 days)
- Crusting (rare)
