What is CO2 Laser Resurfacing?
CO2 laser resurfacing is the gold standard for skin rejuvenation—using precise laser energy to vaporize damaged outer skin layers and stimulate deep collagen production, effectively treating wrinkles, scars, sun damage, and uneven texture with dramatic, long-lasting results.
What to Know Before You Go
Pro Tip:
Plan for 7–14 days of social downtime. The initial healing phase involves visible peeling, crusting, and redness that's difficult to conceal — but the results are worth it.
Insider Note:
Sun protection is absolutely critical for months after treatment. Even brief sun exposure can cause permanent hyperpigmentation. Commit to strict SPF 50+ use and sun avoidance before undergoing this treatment.
