CO₂ Laser Skin Resurfacing is one of the most advanced treatments available for improving skin texture, tone, and overall quality. Using fractional carbon dioxide laser technology, this treatment stimulates deep collagen regeneration while resurfacing the outer layers of the skin for visible, long-lasting results.

At Advanced Aesthetics, our CO₂ Laser treatments are performed by trained medical professionals using evidence-based protocols to ensure safety, comfort, and optimal outcomes.

What Is CO₂ Laser Treatment?

CO₂ (Carbon Dioxide) laser resurfacing is a non-surgical aesthetic procedure that delivers controlled laser energy into the skin. The laser creates microscopic channels in the skin, triggering the body’s natural healing response and stimulating collagen and elastin production.

This process improves skin firmness, smooths texture, reduces imperfections, and promotes healthier, more youthful-looking skin over time.

Benefits of CO₂ Laser

• Improves skin texture and tone

• Reduces fine lines and wrinkles

• Treats acne scars and surgical scars

• Minimizes enlarged pores

• Improves sun damage and pigmentation

• Tightens and firms lax skin

• Improves stretch marks (selected areas)

• Enhances overall skin quality and radiance

Results continue to improve for weeks to months as new collagen is formed.

Indications – Who Is a Good Candidate?

CO₂ Laser treatment may be recommended for individuals looking to improve:

• Fine lines and wrinkles

• Acne scars or uneven texture

• Sun-damaged skin

• Hyperpigmentation and age spots

• Skin laxity

• Enlarged pores

A personalized consultation is required to determine candidacy, treatment intensity, and expected downtime based on skin type, concerns, and lifestyle.

What Areas Can Be Treated?

• Face

• Neck

• Décolletage

• Hands

• Abdomen

• Arms

• Knees

• Other areas with textural concerns or scarring

What to Expect During Treatment

Before the procedure, a topical numbing agent is applied to maximize comfort. Treatment time varies depending on the area and intensity selected.

Most patients describe the sensation as warmth or mild discomfort. After treatment, the skin will appear red and swollen, similar to a sunburn, followed by dryness and peeling as the skin heals.

Downtime and Recovery

Downtime varies depending on treatment depth:

• Mild treatments: 3–5 days

• Moderate treatments: 5–10 days

• Deep treatments: up to 14 days

During recovery, proper aftercare and sun protection are essential for optimal healing and results.

How Many Treatments Are Needed?

Many patients achieve noticeable improvement after one treatment. However, depending on the concern and treatment intensity, a series of treatments may be recommended for optimal results.

Your provider will create a customized treatment plan during your consultation.
