How CO2 laser resurfacing works
Fractional CO2 laser energy creates precise, controlled micro-treatment zones in the skin, prompting new collagen production while leaving surrounding tissue intact for faster healing than a fully ablative treatment.
What this treatment offers
Things to consider
- Strict sun protection is required before and after treatment to avoid complications and protect results.
- Not recommended for active acne breakouts, cold sores, or certain skin infections — these are screened for at consultation.
- Downtime varies by treatment depth, from a few days to about a week of visible redness and peeling.
- Certain skin tones and conditions require extra evaluation to minimize the risk of pigment changes.
