CO2 Laser Resurfacing

CO2 laser resurfacing offers a solution to aging signs, skin texture issues, and various skin conditions. This non-invasive, surgery-free method delivers results by eliminating the topmost skin layer, replaced with fresh, healthy cells. CO2 laser resurfacing enhances skin tone, reduces wrinkles, and provides a smoother complexion.

Known as laser resurfacing, fractional laser skin treatment removes damaged surface tissue and increases collagen production. CO2 excels at replacing damaged cells with new ones, heals scars and other skin issues.

The carbon dioxide laser is perfect for addressing a range of skin conditions. With the CO2 laser, we target various skin concerns, including sun damage, skin aging, scars, acne scarring, lines, wrinkles, skin laxity, under-eye creases, and crepey skin.

Post-CO2 Laser Expectations

In the immediate aftermath, your skin will look like a significant sunburn. Some swelling, especially around the delicate eye area, may also occur. As your skin heals, the redness will dissipate, and you may experience some shedding of skin. We will provide you with written instructions and an aftercare kit to support an easy recovery and ensure the best possible results.

As you heal  you’ll notice the effects on your skin—improved smoothness, even skin tone, and reduced wrinkles and fine lines. Your skin will appear rejuvenated, with a plumper, more youthful look.
