CO₂ Laser Resurfacing

Advanced Skin Renewal. Powerful, Precise Results.

If you’re looking for dramatic skin rejuvenation without surgery, CO₂ laser resurfacing is one of the most effective treatments available. This advanced technology uses targeted laser energy to resurface the skin, stimulate collagen production, and restore a smoother, more youthful appearance.

What Is CO₂ Laser?

CO₂ (carbon dioxide) laser resurfacing is a fractional laser treatment that creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This process triggers your body’s natural healing response—replacing damaged skin with healthier, tighter, more radiant tissue.

Because the treatment is customizable, we can safely treat everything from superficial concerns to deeper wrinkles and scarring.

Benefits of CO₂ Laser

  • Smooths fine lines and deep wrinkles
  • Improves skin tone and texture
  • Tightens and firms the skin
  • Shrinks enlarged pores
  • Reduces sun damage and pigmentation
  • Minimizes acne scars and surgical scars
  • Improves the appearance of stretch marks
  • Stimulates long-term collagen production
  • Creates a brighter, more youthful complexion

What Can It Treat?

CO₂ laser resurfacing is ideal for patients looking to correct:

  • Aging skin and loss of elasticity
  • Acne scars and textural irregularities
  • Surgical scars and stretch marks
  • Sun damage and age spots
  • Uneven skin tone
  • Mild to moderate skin laxity
  • Crepey skin (especially under eyes and neck)
  • Deep lines around the eyes and mouth

Customized Depth: Tailored to Your Skin

One of the most powerful features of CO₂ laser technology is its ability to treat the skin at different depths, depending on your goals and tolerance for downtime.

Mid-Depth Treatments

  • Penetrates deeper into the skin
  • Softens moderate wrinkles and acne scars
  • Improves surgical scars and stretch marks
  • Stimulates stronger collagen remodeling
  • Moderate downtime (4–5 days)

Deep Resurfacing Treatments

  • Reaches deeper dermal layers
  • Treats advanced aging, deep wrinkles, and significant scarring
  • Provides the most dramatic, long-lasting results
  • Downtime of approximately 6–10 days, with continued healing and improvement beyond

Superficial Treatments (Light Resurfacing)

  • Targets the outermost layer of skin
  • Improves tone, texture, and mild pigmentation
  • Minimal downtime (a few days of redness and flaking)
  • Ideal for maintenance and early signs of aging

Advanced Combination Treatments

For more complex concerns such as advanced aging, deeper scarring, and stretch marks, your treatment can be further enhanced by combining CO₂ laser resurfacing with radiofrequency (RF) microneedling.

This combination approach allows us to:

  • Target both the surface and deeper dermal layers simultaneously
  • Enhance collagen and elastin production at multiple levels
  • Improve skin tightening and structural support
  • Achieve more significant improvement in scars and stretch marks

By customizing both technologies together, we’re able to deliver more comprehensive, synergistic results—especially in areas where deeper remodeling is needed.

Who Is Not a Candidate?

CO₂ laser resurfacing is a powerful, results-driven treatment—but it requires proper preparation, healing, and aftercare to ensure safe and optimal outcomes.

You may not be a candidate if you:

  • Are unwilling or unable to properly prepare your skin prior to treatment (including use of recommended skincare and sun protection)
  • Cannot commit to post-treatment care and downtime
  • Have active skin infections, open wounds, or uncontrolled acne in the treatment area
  • Have certain medical conditions or are taking medications that impair healing
  • Are pregnant or breastfeeding (case-dependent)
  • Have unrealistic expectations about results or recovery

During your consultation, we will carefully evaluate your skin and medical history to ensure this treatment is both safe and appropriate for you.

What to Expect

  • Treatment Time: 30–90 minutes depending on area
  • Comfort: Topical numbing (and additional comfort options if needed)
  • Downtime: Varies by treatment depth
  • Results: Noticeable improvement within weeks, with continued collagen building for months

Why Choose CO₂ Laser?

Unlike lighter treatments, CO₂ laser resurfacing delivers true skin transformation, not just temporary improvement. It addresses both the surface and deeper layers of the skin—making it one of the most powerful tools for long-term rejuvenation.
