CO2 Laser Resurfacing are the gold standard in treating wrinkles, age spots, acne scars, and other blemishes as well as tighten skin and balance tone. Damaged skin tissue is removed, or ablated, stimulating new collagen production and heat energy is delivered to tighten the skin.

Many advances have been made to improve the side effects of laser treatments but ONLY the CO2 laser treatment can deliver a fractional ablative treatment without downtime. There is minimal risk of hyperpigmentation, demarcation, or induced infection.

A CO2 Laser Resurfacing can only be done using the SmartXide Tetra CO2 laser. The Tetra is the latest, most advanced CO2 laser from DEKA, a global leader in aesthetic technology. Only Tetra can control its output to deliver high energy in extremely short-pulses to deliver impressive superficial, skin resurfacing results without the lingering heat that would traditionally damage the surrounding skin. The lack of unnecessary heat is why we call it cool – get it? – and how you get an immediate aesthetic effect with minimal downtime.

You are a good candidate for a CO2 Laser Resurfacing if you are looking to reduces the appearance of fine lines and sun damage, minimize pores and improves skin texture. Your skin will look healthier and younger.

A full-face CO2 Laser Resurfacing laser peel can take anywhere from 5-15 minutes.

While there is no need for anesthesia or localized numbing, your provider may use a numbing cream for additional comfort.

One of the main benefits of a CO2 Laser Resurfacing, is that there is minimal downtime. You should expect to be a little red, as if you have a sunburn, for a day, or two, but nothing should prevent you from returning to your normal daily activities. Your skin may feel dry and scaly as it heals so it is important to keep the skin hydrated.

After your CO2 Laser Resurfacing, it is important to keep your skin hydrated and there may be certain products you should avoid. Talk to your provider about the best post-treatment care and when you can return to your daily skincare regimen.
