CO2 Laser

The CO2 laser removes columns of damaged skin in a fractional pattern, reaching deep enough to address wrinkles, texture, sun damage, and certain scars, while the skin between the columns speeds healing.

Its great advantage is that it can be dialed, from a light refresh to a medium-depth resurfacing. We treat to medium depth at most; we do not perform fully ablative deep CO2.

A deeper pass is always available, and rarely the kindness it advertises. We choose the level that reaches your concern and no further, weighing the result against the recovery you can allow.

Your skin tone guides what is safe. We would rather steer you to a gentler laser than push CO2 past what your skin can carry.

The laser is delivered in a fractional pattern to a chosen depth. The hand holds it even across the field while watching the skin's endpoint, because every variation shapes how the tissue heals.

This is among the more demanding treatments we perform. The setting is the start; the technique is the rest.

A light treatment can be repeated as often as monthly; a medium-depth one far less, judged over the year. Texture and scar improvement tend to last, while pigment and sun damage can return with the sun.

Collagen keeps remodeling for three to six months after, so we judge the full result late rather than early.
