CO₂ Laser Resurfacing

Summary Content

CO₂ Laser Resurfacing is a cutting-edge skin rejuvenation treatment that uses focused carbon dioxide laser energy to gently remove damaged outer layers of skin. This controlled process triggers the body’s natural collagen production and encourages the regeneration of fresh, healthy skin, resulting in noticeable improvements in texture, tone, and elasticity.

At Rejuvenation Dermatology, CO₂ Laser Resurfacing is an effective solution for addressing concerns such as deep lines and wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, uneven pigmentation, and coarse skin texture. Treatments are fully customizable—ranging from light resurfacing for mild imperfections to deeper sessions for more advanced aging or scarring.

Although this procedure involves a longer recovery period compared to less intensive treatments, the results are more significant and longer-lasting. Healing typically includes a few days of redness, swelling, and peeling as the skin renews itself. Once recovered, patients enjoy smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin. CO₂ Laser Resurfacing is ideal for those seeking comprehensive, non-surgical skin renewal with lasting benefits.
