My friend, 33 yo, had one of those major laser skin resurfacings that totally burns off the top layer of skin and you have to lay low for 2-4 weeks.
That was 6 months ago and now she looks AMAZING! I would love to try it, however my hesitation is if it changes your skin somehow. Like is your skin thinner? thus more prone to uv and such? I thought your skin just heals, but now she blushes super easily and i thought maybe cause her skin was thinner.
I don't want to do it if it permanently thins your skin.

Any info or expeerience ?
