CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing
What is CO2 Skin Resurfacing?
A CO₂ (carbon dioxide) laser is an advanced skin resurfacing treatment that uses precise laser energy to remove damaged outer layers of skin while stimulating collagen production deep within the skin. Widely regarded as the gold standard for skin resurfacing, the CO₂ laser delivers powerful, controlled results for improving skin tone, texture, and overall quality.
This treatment is highly effective for reducing fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, acne scars, enlarged pores, and other signs of aging. By encouraging the body’s natural healing response, CO₂ laser resurfacing reveals smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin with long-lasting results.
Because of its precision and proven outcomes, the CO₂ laser remains the benchmark against which all other resurfacing technologies are measured.

Who Is a Good Candidate?
Good candidates for CO₂ laser resurfacing are individuals looking to significantly improve skin texture, tone, and signs of aging. This treatment is ideal for patients with fine to deep wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, uneven texture, enlarged pores, or skin laxity who want noticeable, long-lasting results. Candidates should be in good overall health, have realistic expectations, and be willing to allow time for recovery. A personalized consultation is essential to determine the safest and most effective treatment plan for your skin type and goals.
Which CO2 Treatment is right for me?
1
Pixel Peel - Light CO2 Laser
The Pixel Peel is a light CO₂ laser treatment designed to refresh and rejuvenate the skin with minimal downtime. Using fractional CO₂ laser technology, the Pixel Peel creates microscopic channels in the skin to stimulate collagen production while leaving surrounding tissue intact for faster healing.
Patients typically experience 1–2 days of redness, followed by dryness and light peeling as the skin renews itself. Most individuals experience full recovery by day 7, revealing smoother, brighter, and healthier-looking skin.
The Pixel Peel is an excellent option for patients who want the benefits of CO₂ laser resurfacing with a gentler approach and quicker recovery compared to deeper treatments.
2
CO2 Refresh
CO₂ Refresh is a more intensive CO₂ laser resurfacing treatment designed for patients seeking powerful, visible skin transformation. Stronger than the CO₂ Pixel Peel, this treatment penetrates deeper into the skin to aggressively stimulate collagen remodeling and target deep wrinkles, advanced sun damage, acne scars, and significant texture concerns.
Patients can expect 3–5 days of redness, followed by a period of healing as the skin renews itself. While the downtime is slightly longer than lighter laser treatments, the results are more dramatic—delivering smoother, firmer skin and a visibly rejuvenated appearance. This treatment is best suited for individuals with deep lines, significant skin aging, and major skin concerns who want noticeable, long-lasting improvement.
CO₂ Refresh offers a balanced approach between results and recovery, making it an ideal option for patients ready to invest in deeper resurfacing for transformative outcomes.
3
CO2 Rejuvenate
CO₂ Rejuvenate is the most advanced and intensive CO₂ laser resurfacing treatment available, designed for patients seeking the highest level of skin transformation. As the deepest and most powerful option, this treatment targets severe wrinkles, advanced skin aging, deep acne scars, significant sun damage, and major texture irregularities by penetrating deep into the skin to stimulate extensive collagen regeneration.
This treatment delivers the most dramatic and long-lasting results, making it ideal for individuals with profound skin concerns who are ready for a more involved recovery in exchange for exceptional improvement. Patients can expect a longer healing process compared to lighter CO₂ treatments, as the skin undergoes a complete renewal and restructuring phase.
