Lasers When thinking beyond topical products, getting zapped is one of the best in-office bets. "Lasers generate microscopic, controlled wounds in the dermal layer of the skin. The skin then responds to this trauma by making new, stronger collagen that leaves the skin thicker, firmer, and smoother," explains MacGregor. We get it, words like "wounds" and "trauma" sound scary, but keep in mind that we're talking about microscopic injury that doesn't cause any kind of lasting damage and that you can't even see. Your skin may look slightly pink for a little while after a laser treatment, but it's really more about what's happening underneath the surface of the skin where all of that new collagen is being stimulated.
