What is CO2 Laser Resurfacing?

CO2 laser resurfacing is a highly effective skin rejuvenation procedure that uses fractional laser technology to penetrate the skin, promoting collagen production and cellular renewal. This treatment is ideal for reducing the appearance of sun damage, fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars. By targeting the deeper layers of the skin, CO2 laser resurfacing dramatically improves the skin’s texture and tone, leaving you with a smoother, more youthful complexion. There are several options regarding intensity of treatment.

Benefits of CO2 Laser Treatment

  • Reduces Sun Damage: Helps repair sunspots, uneven pigmentation, and damage caused by UV exposure.
  • Minimizes Wrinkles and Fine Lines: Effectively smooths out wrinkles and fine lines, particularly around the eyes and mouth.
  • Improves Skin Texture: Reduces crepiness and refines skin texture for a more youthful appearance.
  • Dramatic Results in One Treatment: In many cases, just one intense reatment can provide significant improvement.
  • Comfort: Numbing is applied one hour before treatment. We also offer Pronox (laughing gas) as an add-on to ensure your comfort during more aggressive treatments.
  • Safe for Most Skin Types: Fractional CO2 laser technology is versatile and can be customized to meet your skin’s specific needs. There are limits with the technology when performing the intense treatment.

The CO2 Laser treatment at Skin Thesis is priced according to the specific area being treated. Schedule a consultation to determine the best treatment plan for your skin’s needs and to discuss pricing details.

Before the Treatment

To prepare for your CO2 Laser treatment, follow these pre-treatment instructions to ensure the best results:
  • Avoid Sun Exposure: Refrain from sun exposure, tanning, and waxing in the treatment area for at least 1-2 weeks before your appointment.
  • Stop Certain Skincare Products: Discontinue the use of retinoids, glycolic acid, and other exfoliating or active skincare products 5-7 days prior to treatment to avoid irritation.
  • Limit Alcohol: If undergoing the intense CO2 treatment, avoid consuming alcohol for at least 24-48 hours before your procedure, as alcohol can thin the blood and increase the risk of bleeding.
  • Take Pain Relief: Consider taking Tylenol or Advil one hour before your appointment to help alleviate any potential discomfort. A numbing topical will be provided one hour before your treatment.
  • Medical History: Make sure to inform your practitioner about any pertinent medical history or allergies​.

Following your CO2 Laser treatment, proper aftercare is crucial to support healing and achieve the best results. Follow these post-treatment instructions:
  • Avoid Heat Exposure: Stay away from direct sun exposure, saunas, and activities that cause excessive sweating for 48 hours post-treatment. Protect your skin with a high-SPF sunscreen and wear protective clothing for at least two weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most clients experience significant improvement after just one intense treatment, though some may benefit from additional sessions for more extensive skin concerns. For example, we recommend 3 LITE treatments 4-6 weeks apart from one another.

The CO2 Laser treatment has a downtime of approximately 7-12  days, during which you may experience redness, swelling, and peeling.

While some discomfort is to be expected, Skin Thesis offers Pronox (laughing gas) and numbing cream to keep you as comfortable as possible throughout the procedure. Typically, our patients do not need Prono and do well with just the numbing process.

Initial improvements can be seen within a few days after the healing time, with continued improvements in skin texture and tone over the following weeks as collagen production increases.
