CO2 Fractional Laser
The CO2 Fractional Laser is a highly effective skin rejuvenation treatment designed to improve skin texture, reduce wrinkles, and minimize scars. This advanced laser technology works by delivering precise beams of light into the skin, creating microscopic channels that trigger the body’s natural healing process and boost collagen production. The result? Smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.

How It Works:
The CO2 laser creates tiny micro-injuries in the skin while leaving surrounding tissue intact, allowing for faster healing compared to traditional laser resurfacing. These controlled wounds stimulate collagen and elastin production, leading to long-term skin improvement.
Benefits:
- Reduces Fine Lines & Wrinkles
- Improves Skin Tone & Texture
- Minimizes Acne Scars & Stretch Marks
- Tightens Skin
Who is a Good Candidate?
This treatment is ideal for those with wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, or uneven skin texture. However, individuals with darker skin tones or certain medical conditions should consult their provider to ensure it’s the right option.
Results & Aftercare:
Recovery time varies, with redness, mild swelling, and peeling lasting up to a week. Avoid direct sun exposure, use SPF 30+ daily, and follow your provider’s skincare recommendations for the best healing and results. Over the following weeks, you’ll see smoother, younger-looking skin with ongoing improvements.
Achieve firmer, more radiant skin with CO2 Fractional Laser – the gold standard in skin resurfacing!
Before, During & After
What to Expect
The first step is your free consultation.
Before Treatment
To prepare for your CO2 Fractional Laser session, avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and harsh skincare products (like retinoids and exfoliants) for at least two weeks before treatment. Your provider may recommend using a pre-treatment skincare regimen to optimize results. Stay well-hydrated, and if you have a history of cold sores, inform your provider as an antiviral medication may be necessary to prevent flare-ups.
During Treatment
A topical numbing cream is applied to the skin to minimize discomfort. The CO2 laser creates controlled micro-injuries, stimulating collagen production and skin renewal. You may feel a warming or tingling sensation, similar to a mild sunburn. The procedure typically lasts 30–60 minutes, depending on the treatment area. Afterward, your skin may appear red and swollen, similar to a moderate sunburn.
After Treatment
Recovery varies, but you can expect redness, swelling, and mild discomfort for the first 3–7 days. Your skin will begin to peel and flake as it heals, revealing smoother, rejuvenated skin underneath. Avoid direct sun exposure, wear SPF 30+ daily, and follow a gentle skincare routine to aid healing. Full results become visible over the next several weeks as collagen production continues. Multiple sessions may be recommended for optimal results.

Frequently Asked Questions
Initial improvements, such as smoother and firmer skin, can be seen within one to two weeks after the peeling process. However, full results appear over the next 3–6 months as collagen production increases.
A topical numbing cream is applied before the procedure to minimize discomfort. Most patients report a warm, tingling, or slight burning sensation, similar to a sunburn. Post-treatment, mild discomfort may persist for a few days.
Expect 3–7 days of redness, swelling, and peeling. Most patients resume normal activities after a week, but full healing can take up to two weeks. Proper aftercare, including hydration and sun protection, is crucial for optimal healing.
For mild concerns, one session may be enough. For deeper wrinkles, acne scars, or sun damage, 2–3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart may be recommended. Your provider will create a personalized treatment plan based on your skin goals.
