The CO2 laser is one of the most capable resurfacing tools we offer at our Winchester practice, and one we use with real care. We treat from a light refresh to a medium depth, matched to your skin and the recovery you can allow. We do not perform fully ablative deep CO2.
That range is the point. For patients across the valley, from Winchester to Front Royal, Stephens City, and Berryville, it means the same laser can be dialed to a gentle glow with a couple of days of downtime, or taken to a medium-depth treatment for a fuller correction. Your provider chooses the level to your skin and your goals.
Patients come to us for sun damage, wrinkles, rough or crepey texture, and acne scarring, which is a frequent reason people seek it out. The medium-depth setting is especially effective for tightening thin, crepey skin around the eyes. It resurfaces the skin and prompts substantial new collagen beneath.
Every plan begins with reading your skin honestly and choosing the right level. Recovery ranges from two to four days at the lightest to about a week at medium depth. We will tell you plainly what to expect, and your skin tone guides what is safe.
Patients across the Shenandoah Valley trust us to choose the right depth rather than the most aggressive one. We are candid that we treat to medium depth at most, and that honesty, about both what the laser can do and what it asks of you, is what people value.
