What Is CO2 Laser Resurfacing?

CO2 laser resurfacing uses controlled ablative laser energy to renew damaged skin and stimulate collagen, improving acne scars, fine lines, uneven texture, and sun damage.

How It Works

CO2 laser delivers controlled ablative energy into the skin, creating tiny treatment zones that remove damaged surface tissue. As the skin heals, collagen production increases, helping smooth texture, soften scars, and improve tone.

One Advanced Laser, Multiple Concerns

CO2 laser resurfacing can improve acne scars, fine lines, sun damage, enlarged pores, and uneven texture in one customizable treatment. Your provider tailors the treatment to your skin, goals, and desired level of correction.

Tailored to Your Skin

Every CO2 treatment plan is customized to your skin, concerns, and goals, whether you are targeting acne scars, fine lines, sun damage, enlarged pores, or uneven texture on the face, neck, or chest.

How CO2 Laser Resurfacing Renews Your Skin

CO2 laser energy removes damaged surface tissue while creating controlled treatment zones that stimulate collagen, helping improve texture, acne scars, fine lines, and sun damage.

The Mechanism

The Science Behind CO2 Resurfacing

CO2 laser resurfacing delivers controlled ablative energy into the skin, precisely removing damaged surface tissue while creating fractional treatment zones. This controlled process triggers the skin’s natural healing response and stimulates new collagen production. As the skin renews, texture becomes smoother, acne scars and fine lines soften, and areas of sun damage and uneven tone can gradually improve.

Your Skin Goals, Your Treatment Plan

Every laser plan starts with the concern you want addressed most. Select your primary goal to see the technology and technique your provider will use.

Clinical Approach

CO2 fractional laser energy is delivered directly to areas of acne scarring and uneven texture, creating controlled treatment zones that stimulate collagen remodeling in the skin. Treatment settings and passes are adjusted to the scar pattern and area being treated, helping soften pitted scars, refine pores, and improve overall texture over time.

Target Areas
Acne Scarring

Reduce pitted and boxcar scars through progressive collagen remodeling.

Enlarged Pores

Tighten pore walls for a smoother, more refined texture.

Body Acne Scarring

Treat pitted scarring on the chest and back the same way we treat facial acne scars.

Provider's Insight
Acne scars are not all the same, so treatment should not be one size fits all. We assess the depth and pattern of your scarring, then customize the CO2 settings and treatment intensity to improve texture while keeping the plan appropriate for your skin.

Is CO2 Laser Resurfacing Right for You?

CO2 resurfacing is not right for everyone. These are some of the most important eligibility factors we review before treatment. Your provider will confirm final eligibility during your complimentary consultation.

No Recent Sun or Tanning

No Recent Sun or Tanning

You should not have significant sun exposure, tanning bed use, or a recent tan within the 3 to 4 weeks before treatment. Sun avoidance is also essential during recovery.

Skin Type & Key Treatment Restrictions

Skin Type & Key Treatment Restrictions

You should not be pregnant or undergoing IVF, and you should not be currently using Accutane or isotretinoin or have used it within the previous 12 months.

Healthy Skin and Normal Healing

Healthy Skin and Normal Healing

The treatment area should be free of active infections, cold sores, open wounds, or significant irritation. A history of keloid scarring or abnormal wound healing may also affect eligibility. Not sure if you qualify? That is exactly what your complimentary 30 minute CO2 consultation is for.

Bethany Happach

CUSTOM FACIAL

I've been coming here regularly for the past year for microneedling and peels with Karolina, and I genuinely love it. Having a periodic facial treatment feels like the perfect treat-yourself moment, and Karolina always knocks it out of the park. Booking is easy, the space is great, and she's both incredibly kind and highly knowledgeable. I always feel like I'm in good hands.

PRP FACIAL

I’ve been to a lot of med spas, but none compare to this one. The facility is gorgeous, modern, and incredibly clean. I had a HydraFacial and a PRP facial done in the same visit, and both were fantastic. The esthetician was friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure I understood the aftercare so I could get the best results. A week later, my skin is still glowing and my friends keep asking what I’ve been doing differently. This is the only place I’ll be going for my skin from now on.

PRP FACIAL

Jasmine did amazing work regarding my PRP treatment. Mckale did my first treatment and was equally wonderful. Both have extensive training in the medical industry and know what works well for one's face. I was extremely pleased with the results both times. I look less tired, more refreshed, and put together. Paola the front desk professional made my check-in/out so smooth. Very clean, comfortable med spa and wonderful professionals who truly do help you get great, almost immediate results when it comes to looking your very best.

CO2 Questions Answered

Everything you need to know about CO2 eligibility, mandatory free consultations, treatment, recovery, and aftercare before booking.

Every CO2 treatment begins with a complimentary 30 minute consultation. Your provider evaluates your skin, reviews your medical history, medications, recent sun exposure, and treatment goals, then confirms whether CO2 is appropriate for you and builds your personalized treatment plan.
Your provider will confirm final treatment eligibility during your consultation. In general, CO2 may be appropriate if you: ✓ Are not pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or undergoing IVF ✓ Have not had significant sun exposure or tanning within the past 3 to 4 weeks ✓ Have not used Accutane or isotretinoin within the past 12 months ✓ Do not have an active infection, cold sore, rash, or open wound in the treatment area ✓ Do not have a history of keloid scarring or abnormal wound healing ✓ Are not taking medications or supplements that cause significant photosensitivity Your provider will also review your skin type, medical history, medications, and treatment goals before clearing you for treatment.
Plan for about 1 to 2 weeks of visible healing. Redness, swelling, peeling, crusting, and sensitivity are expected as the skin resurfaces. Swelling can last up to 10 to 14 days, while some redness may remain longer as the skin continues to recover. You should stay indoors for the first 72 hours, avoid picking or rubbing the treated skin, and avoid direct sun exposure for one month after treatment.
You can begin noticing improvement as the skin heals and resurfaces over the first couple of weeks. Texture, tone, fine lines, sun damage, and acne scars can continue improving over the following weeks as new collagen forms and the skin continues to remodel.
New patients receive 50% off their first treatment, starting at $750, compared to the regular rate of $1500. Your provider confirms your exact area and pricing during your visit.
