What can CO2 laser resurfacing treat?

The treatment is highly effective for addressing a wide range of concerns, including fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, age spots, acne scars, uneven skin tone, and texture irregularities.

How does the procedure work?

The fractional CO2 laser delivers energy in a pixelated pattern, creating thousands of tiny treatment zones in the skin. This allows the laser to target specific areas while leaving surrounding healthy tissue intact, which promotes faster healing and less downtime.

How long does the procedure take?

The length of the procedure depends on the size of the area being treated. A full-face session typically takes about 30 minutes to an hour.

What is the recovery period like?

Recovery from CO2 laser resurfacing is more extensive than with other non-surgical treatments. You can expect some redness, swelling, and a sensation similar to a severe sunburn for several days. Full recovery can take one to two weeks, after which your skin will be much smoother.

Are the results permanent?

The results are long-lasting. While the treatment will not stop the natural aging process, it will significantly rejuvenate your skin. Maintaining a good skincare regimen and protecting your skin from the sun will help prolong your results.
