Targeted skin renewal with measurable results. CO2 laser creates controlled micro-channels in the skin to remove damaged tissue and stimulate fresh collagen and elastin. It is ideal for texture, fine lines, scars, and visible photoaging, with protocols tailored to your skin and downtime.
What it treats
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Loss of firmness and elasticity
- Acne and post-surgical scars
- Uneven texture and enlarged pores
- Sun damage and uneven tone
How it works
Short pulses of fractional CO2 energy vaporize pinpoint columns in the epidermis and upper dermis. The surrounding intact skin speeds healing while fibroblasts rebuild collagen. Energy, density, and pattern are customized per area to balance efficacy and recovery.
Treatment areas and typical plans
- Eye area, mid face, full face, face and neck, hands, selected body areas
- Single session or staged plan depending on indication
- Scar protocols may require multiple focused sessions
- Mandatory patch test before treatment
Downtime and aftercare
- Redness and swelling typically settle within several days, followed by peeling
- You will receive a post-procedure skincare kit and printed aftercare instructions
- Strict sun protection is required during healing
- Ongoing support is available throughout your recovery
Who is a good candidate
- Healthy skin without active infection or uncontrolled inflammatory flare
- Not pregnant or breastfeeding
- Able to follow pre- and post-care, including sun avoidance
- Fitzpatrick considerations and medication review performed at consultation
Advanced combinations
For deeper remodeling or difficult zones, CO2 can be combined with biostimulators such as PDLLA in the same plan, when clinically appropriate.
