CO2 Laser for Skin Rejuvenation
What Is a CO2 Laser?
CO₂ (carbon dioxide) laser resurfacing is a highly effective, medical-grade treatment that uses targeted laser energy to remove damaged outer layers of skin while stimulating deep collagen production. It treats a wide range of skin concerns including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, uneven skin tone, sun damage, and texture irregularities. This fractional laser technology delivers controlled micro-injuries to the skin, promoting natural healing and the formation of smoother, tighter, healthier skin.
What Causes Skin Aging and Damage?
As we age, collagen and elastin—the key building blocks of youthful skin—gradually diminish. Combined with environmental factors like sun exposure, pollution, and lifestyle habits, this results in fine lines, rough texture, enlarged pores, age spots, and loss of firmness. Scarring from acne or injury can further affect skin quality. CO₂ laser resurfacing addresses these concerns by deeply rejuvenating the skin’s structure, offering dramatic and long-lasting improvement.
Common Laser Treatments
CO₂ laser is commonly used for:
- Fine lines and wrinkles (especially around the eyes and mouth)
- Acne scars and surgical scars
- Age spots, sun damage, and hyperpigmentation
- Uneven tone and texture
- Skin laxity and enlarged pores
Treatment may be done in a single session or as part of a series, depending on the desired depth and area. Downtime ranges from 5–10 days, with results continuing to improve over several months as collagen rebuilds.
