Laser Skin Resurfacing – Renew. Restore. Resurface.
At LaVie Skinthetics Wellness Spa in Federal Way, WA, we proudly offer Non-Ablative Laser Skin Resurfacing with the Spectrum Laser — a safe, medical-grade treatment designed to improve skin texture, tone, and radiance without the downtime of more aggressive procedures.
This advanced technology delivers controlled laser energy beneath the skin’s surface, gently heating the tissue to stimulate new collagen production and cellular renewal. Because the surface layer of your skin remains intact, you’ll enjoy smoother, firmer, more youthful-looking skin with minimal recovery and long-lasting improvements.

Pre-Treatment Instructions
- To prepare your skin for optimal results, please follow these guidelines:
- Avoid sun exposure and tanning (including self-tanners) for at least 2–4 weeks before treatment.
- Discontinue retinoids, exfoliants, and harsh skincare products 5–7 days prior.
- Avoid chemical peels, waxing, or microneedling on the treatment area for at least 2 weeks before your appointment.
- If approved by your physician, stop blood-thinning medications or supplements (aspirin, ibuprofen, vitamin E, fish oil, etc.) a few days before treatment.
- Arrive with clean skin — no makeup, lotions, perfumes, or creams.
- If you have a history of cold sores (herpes simplex), notify your provider; a preventive antiviral prescription may be required.
- Post-Treatment Care
Post-Treatment Care
- Your skin will need gentle care as it renews. Redness, warmth, and mild swelling are normal, similar to a light sunburn.
- Follow these steps for a smooth recovery and optimal results:
- Cleanse with a gentle, non-foaming cleanser and keep skin well-hydrated using a medical-grade moisturizer recommended by your provider.
- Do not pick or peel flaking skin — allow it to shed naturally.
- Avoid makeup until your provider gives clearance (typically 5–7 days).
- Avoid direct sun exposure during healing. Once healed, apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily.
- Avoid hot tubs, saunas, vigorous workouts, or swimming for 48–72 hours.
- Skip retinoids, acids, scrubs, and exfoliants for at least 2 weeks or until fully healed.
- Drink plenty of water to support hydration and skin repair from within.
Healing Timeline
- Day 1–3: Redness, warmth, and mild swelling (sunburn-like).
- Day 4–7: Peeling and flaking as new skin emerges.
- Day 7–10: Redness fades; smoother, clearer skin becomes visible.
- Week 2 + : Radiance continues to improve as collagen rebuilds for long-term firmness and glow.
