What Is CO₂ Skin Resurfacing?

CO₂ (carbon dioxide) laser resurfacing is a minimally invasive procedure that targets deep wrinkles, acne scars, uneven texture, and sun damage. The laser works by carefully removing damaged outer layers of skin while stimulating collagen production and encouraging new skin cell growth within.

Unlike over-the-counter products or superficial treatments, CO₂ resurfacing reaches deeper layers of the skin, delivering dramatic, long-lasting results that reveal a smoother, firmer, and more youthful complexion over time.

The Treatment Experience

Step One: Consultation

During an initial, detailed consultation, our medical providers will assess your skin, explain the procedure, and create a treatment plan to suit your aesthetic goals. We will also discuss what results you can expect and how to care for your skin before and after treatment.

Step Two: Preparation

Before the procedure, your skin is cleansed, and a topical anesthetic may be applied to ensure comfort. Depending on the intensity of the resurfacing, some patients may receive local numbing or light sedation.

Step Three: Laser Resurfacing

Using the CO₂ laser, we carefully target the layers of skin that need renewal. Our laser skin resurfacing in Charlotte, NC addresses mild texture issues, fine lines, and early signs of aging. Deep resurfacing treats significant wrinkles, scars, and sun damage, promoting more pronounced improvement in skin structure and tone. The laser encourages your skin to regenerate naturally, revealing a brighter, smoother, and more even complexion over time.

Step Four: Post-Treatment Care

After CO₂ resurfacing, your skin may appear red or swollen for several days. Proper aftercare, including gentle cleansing, moisturizing, and sun protection, is essential for optimal healing and results. Your registered nurse or physician assistant will provide personalized instructions to support your recovery.

Skin Laser Resurfacing FAQ's

How many CO₂ skin resurfacing treatments are typically needed?

Many patients achieve noticeable improvement after a single session, especially with deeper resurfacing. Depending on your skin concerns and treatment depth, additional sessions may be recommended to refine results.

How long does recovery take after CO₂ laser resurfacing?

Recovery varies based on treatment intensity. Light resurfacing may require several days, while deeper treatments can involve one to two weeks of visible healing, followed by gradual skin improvement over time.

Will CO₂ resurfacing improve skin firmness as well as texture?

Yes. By stimulating collagen production in deeper skin layers, CO₂ resurfacing can help improve firmness and elasticity in addition to smoothing surface texture.

Can CO₂ laser resurfacing be performed on areas other than the face?

In some cases, CO₂ resurfacing may be used on areas such as the neck, chest, or hands. Suitability depends on skin thickness, condition, and healing capacity, which will be evaluated during consultation.

Is CO₂ skin resurfacing safe for darker skin tones?

CO₂ resurfacing can be performed on a range of skin tones, but treatment settings and candidacy must be carefully assessed to reduce the risk of pigmentation changes. A personalized consultation is essential.

Your provider may recommend avoiding sun exposure, stopping certain skincare products, and following a pre-treatment regimen to optimize healing and results.

Downtime depends on treatment depth. Some patients return to daily activities within a week, while others may prefer additional time for redness and peeling to subside.

Are results from CO₂ resurfacing permanent?

The improvements achieved can be long-lasting, but natural aging and sun exposure continue over time. Maintaining results requires good skincare, sun protection, and healthy lifestyle habits.

Can CO₂ resurfacing help reduce the appearance of enlarged pores?
