Is the laser skin resurfacing a risky thing to do?

LASER SKISUFACING: Not at all it is a safe procedure with the second and third generation lasers and it does not require anesthesia, there is minimal redness and pain, but it should be done by a person who is trained how to use lasers.

Generally no: Generally speaking there is no risk if performed in a good candidate by an practitioner who is experienced.
