We prioritize your comfort! A topical anesthetic and possibly a light sedative are used to minimize any discomfort during the procedure. You may experience some tenderness and swelling afterward, but this typically resolves within a week.

CO2 Laser Resurfacing requires a longer healing period compared to other treatments. You can expect redness, swelling, and peeling for several days to a week, followed by a period of pinkness that gradually fades.

The number of treatments needed varies depending on your individual goals and the severity of your concerns. We typically recommend a series of 3-4 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Most patients see optimal results after a single CO2 Laser Resurfacing treatment.

CO2 Laser Resurfacing is a powerful treatment and may not be suitable for all skin types. Fitzpatrick skin types I-II see the best results, but types III-VI can also benefit with customized settings, especially using a fractionated delivery system. During your consultation, our expert team will assess your skin and determine if this treatment is the right option for you.

You’ll begin to notice improvements in your skin texture and tone within a few days. However, the full effects of CO2 Laser Resurfacing develop gradually over the course of 3-6 months as collagen production increases.
