CO2 Laser Resurfacing
Skin resurfacing is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure performed by medical practitioners that may help improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of acne scars, and minimize fine lines and wrinkles. Using advanced resurfacing techniques, this procedure may support collagen production and skin renewal for a smoother, more even complexion.

WHAT IT IS
A laser that uses carbon dioxide (CO2) to create a high-energy, focused beam of light used in ablative skin treatments.
The laser does not spray CO2 onto or into the skin but rather, emits intense light onto the treatment area.
HOW IT WORKS
The COS laser uses a mixture of gases, including CO2, to create a beam of light. The light beam vaporizes water within skin cells, removing damaged superficial skin layers while vigorously stimulated collagen production.
After a period of healing, new skin layers emerge with fewer wrinkles and less discoloration.
WHAT TO EXPECT
A consultation will determine if you are a candidate for CO2 resurfacing and provide a cost quote for treatment.
A numbing cream is applied prior to CO2 laser treatment.
Treatments generally take less than one hour.
Depending on treatment target, multiple sessions may be needed to achieve goals.
