CO₂ Laser Resurfacing
Advanced Skin Renewal for Dramatic, Lasting Results
If you’re ready to significantly improve skin texture, tone, and signs of aging, CO₂ laser resurfacing delivers powerful, transformative results. This advanced treatment targets deeper layers of the skin to rebuild collagen, smooth imperfections, and reveal a clearer, more youthful complexion.
What is CO₂ Laser Resurfacing?
CO₂ (carbon dioxide) laser resurfacing is an ablative laser treatment that removes damaged outer layers of skin while stimulating deep collagen remodeling. Using precise, controlled energy, this treatment improves both surface-level concerns and deeper structural skin issues.
What Does CO₂ Laser Treat?
CO₂ resurfacing is ideal for addressing:
- Deep wrinkles and fine lines
- Acne scars and surgical scars
- Sun damage and age spots
- Uneven skin tone and texture
- Skin laxity
- Crepey or thinning skin
How It Works
The CO₂ laser creates microscopic channels in the skin, removing damaged tissue while triggering a powerful healing response. As your skin repairs itself, new collagen forms—resulting in smoother, firmer, more even-toned skin.
What to Expect
| During Treatment | After Treatment |
| Topical numbing (and additional comfort measures if needed) | Redness, swelling, and warmth similar to a moderate sunburn |
| Treatment time varies based on area (approx. 60 minutes) | Peeling and skin renewal over 5–10 days |
| Gradual improvement in tone and texture over several weeks |
Downtime depends on treatment intensity, but results are significantly more dramatic than non-ablative options.
Results & Recovery
- Noticeable improvement once healing begins
- Continued collagen remodeling for up to 3–6 months
