A Los Angeles native, Dr. Grace Graw brings a touch of Beverly Hills to the Bay Area.
Laser Skin Resurfacing

What kind of time commitment is involved?
Before your treatment, you and the team at Graw Beauty will meet to ensure you and the team are aligned on your aesthetic goals. We’ll also collaborate with you to prepare your skin in the days leading up to your treatment. For non-ablative skin resurfacing,, we’ll cleanse your skin and apply a topical anesthetic. The team will then use the laser on your skin to treat your problem areas. For ablative skin resurfacing, your procedure will be performed under at least twilight anesthesia and can be combined with a surgical procedure. Dr. Graw will then use the laser on your skin. Your specific laser treatment plan will determine how long the session will last, and can take up to two hours.
Rest and recover and watch the magic happen.
Recovery time depends on whether you undergo non-ablative or ablative skin resurfacing. With non-ablative treatment, downtime is minimal, lasting only several days, whereas with ablative treatment, recovery can last around six weeks. With non-ablative treatments, you can expect some swelling and redness. With ablative treatments, significant blistering, swelling, and redness may result, as this treatment is more invasive, but produces more dramatic results. Keeping your skin moisturized and cleansed can speed the recovery process, and if you experience discomfort, ice packs can help. Final results may take up to several months.
