When you’re looking for more dramatic skin rejuvenation, sometimes surface treatments aren’t enough. CO2 Laser Resurfacing improves wrinkles, texture, scarring, and sun damage by removing damaged skin and stimulating new collagen production, revealing smoother, healthier-looking skin beneath.

What is a CO2 Laser?

CO2 laser resurfacing uses advanced laser technology to remove damaged outer layers of skin while stimulating collagen production deeper within the tissue. The result is smoother skin, improved texture, and a more youthful appearance.

What to Expect

  • Consultation: Your provider will assess your skin concerns, treatment goals, and downtime expectations to determine if CO2 resurfacing is appropriate for you.
  • Treatment: The skin is prepared and treated with the laser to target damaged tissue and stimulate collagen production. Treatment plans are customized based on the level of correction desired. To maximize comfort, topical numbing may be used and we offer both the Beauty Bar comfort device and optional Pro-Nox™ to help make treatment as comfortable as possible.
