in Setauket, NY
Your skin tells a story—of time, sun, stress, and renewal. At NectarineMD, we help you rewrite that story using advanced skin resurfacing treatments powered by YAG laser technology. Whether you’re targeting deep wrinkles, pigmentation, acne scars, or photoaging, our customized skin resurfacing options—fractionated or full ablative—restore youthful tone, texture, and tightness with clinical precision.
What Is
Skin Resurfacing?
Laser skin resurfacing is a non-surgical aesthetic treatment that uses focused light energy to remove damaged outer layers of skin and stimulate natural collagen production beneath the surface.
Using YAG laser technology, this treatment:
- Targets uneven pigmentation, texture, and sun damage
- Stimulates deep collagen regeneration
- Leaves skin firmer, clearer, and more radiant
We offer two techniques:
Heats microzones of skin without removing the surface, promoting fast healing and collagen renewal. Ideal for mild to moderate concerns and patients who want minimal downtime.
Treats the entire epidermal layer for more dramatic improvement in deep wrinkles, scars, and pigmentation. This approach requires a longer healing time but delivers transformative results.
What Are the
Benefits of Skin Resurfacing?
Skin resurfacing transforms dull and damaged skin by improving skin tone, texture, and fine lines and wrinkles through light energy. Its two-in-one process fades uneven pigmentation while stimulating collagen production for smoother, youthful skin.
From skin complexion benefits to skin texture improvement, skin resurfacing delivers multifaceted, targeted skin rejuvenating results for youthful, radiant skin. Say goodbye to fine lines, wrinkles, dark spots, and hyperpigmentation with skin resurfacing treatments at NectarineMD.

Frequently
Asked Questions
Fractionated resurfacing uses heat to create micro-injuries while leaving adjacent tissue untreated, speeding up healing and improving texture with little downtime. Full ablative treats the full surface for transformative, deeper rejuvenation, but requires a longer recovery.
- Fractionated: 3-7 days of light peeling and dry appearing skin
- Full ablative: 10–14 days, with 5-7 days of social downtime
Expect redness, peeling, and sensitivity during this period
