What is CO2 Laser Skin Treatment?
CO2 laser skin treatment is an ablative laser resurfacing procedure that uses focused beams of light energy to remove thin layers of damaged skin. The laser energy vaporizes the outer layer of skin (epidermis) and heats the underlying skin (dermis), stimulating new collagen production. As the skin heals, fresh, smoother, tighter skin replaces the treated areas. Fractional CO2 laser technology treats only microscopic columns of skin, leaving surrounding tissue intact. This allows for faster healing and reduced risk compared to traditional fully ablative lasers.

Consultation & Skin Assessment

Numbing
Topical anesthetic cream is applied to the treatment area for 30-45 minutes to ensure comfort.
Laser Application
The fractional CO2 laser is passed over the skin, creating thousands of microscopic treatment zones. The procedure takes 20-40 minutes depending on area size.
Recovery & Follow-Up
You receive detailed aftercare instructions. Most patients need 1-3 sessions for optimal results, spaced 4-6 weeks apart.
