FEATURES OF OUR
CO2 ABLATIVE TREATMENT
Precision Laser Technology
CO2 ablative treatment uses advanced carbon dioxide laser technology to precisely remove damaged layers of skin, targeting only the areas that need improvement. This precision allows for effective treatment of deep wrinkles, scars, and other imperfections while minimizing impact on surrounding healthy tissue.
Customizable Treatment
The procedure can be tailored to each client’s unique skin concerns, with adjustable settings for depth and intensity. Whether you need full-face rejuvenation or targeted spot treatment, the approach is flexible to deliver optimal results for your specific needs.
Dual Modes
CO2 lasers offer both ablative and fractional options, allowing your provider to select the best mode for your skin type and goals. Ablative mode treats larger, continuous areas for dramatic results, while fractional mode targets smaller zones for faster recovery and less downtime.
How Does
CO2 Ablative Treatment Work?
During a CO2 ablative treatment, a specialized carbon dioxide laser targets the superficial layers of the skin with focused beams of light. This process smooths the skin and removes damaged tissue, stimulating collagen production and encouraging new, healthy skin to form. The procedure is performed in-office, and a topical anesthetic is typically applied for comfort. Depending on the area treated, sessions can last from 30 minutes to two hours. After treatment, clients can expect some redness and peeling as the skin heals, revealing a smoother, more youthful complexion.

What conditions can CO2 ablative treatment address?
CO2 ablative treatment is highly effective for deep wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, sun damage, and enlarged oil glands. It can also help with uneven pigmentation and other skin imperfections that are difficult to treat with other methods, making it a versatile option for significant skin rejuvenation.
What is the recovery time after CO2 laser resurfacing?
Most clients experience redness and peeling for 7–14 days following the procedure, as the skin heals and regenerates. While initial recovery is relatively quick, full healing and the best results may take several weeks, and it’s important to follow aftercare instructions for optimal outcomes.
Is the procedure painful?
A topical anesthetic is applied before the treatment to minimize discomfort, so most clients tolerate the procedure well. During the session, you may feel a mild stinging or warmth as the laser works, but this is generally manageable and temporary.
How many sessions are needed?
Many clients see dramatic improvement after just one session, especially for deeper wrinkles or scars. However, the number of treatments required depends on your individual skin condition and goals, which will be discussed during your personalized consultation.
