Where Confidence Begins
Take the first step toward feeling more like you—refreshed, radiant, and confident in your skin.
Yes, CO2 laser resurfacing serves as an excellent treatment for reducing the intensity of acne scars. CO2 laser resurfacing penetrates deeply to remodel damaged tissue, smooth uneven surfaces, and encourage collagen production. Over time, scars become softer, less noticeable, and your skin feels smoother overall.
CO2 resurfacing is more intensive. It removes damaged layers of skin to address deeper concerns, while non-ablative lasers work beneath the surface without removing skin, making them better for maintenance or mild concerns.
We often pair CO2 resurfacing with neurotoxins or SkinPen microneedling to address multiple concerns at once. Combining treatments can deliver more dramatic and longer-lasting results.
Ideal candidates are looking to address deeper wrinkles, texture issues, scars, or sun damage and are healthy, non-smoking adults who can commit to the aftercare process for optimal healing.
Yes, it can. CO2 laser resurfacing triggers the production of collagen and elastin proteins. The body produces these proteins as a natural part of the healing process. When your skin is injured, the body sends collagen and elastin proteins to repair the tissue. By stimulating deep collagen production, CO2 resurfacing can create a subtle lifting effect, improving firmness and elasticity while also smoothing fine lines and wrinkles.
CO2 laser resurfacing is not painful, but you will notice a distinct physical sensation during your treatment session. We use a topical anesthesia to keep you comfortable. You may feel warmth, tingling, or mild stinging during the session, but most patients tolerate it well with proper preparation.
You’ll notice improvements as your skin heals, with full results developing over several weeks. However, you won’t see the full height of your results for some time. Collagen continues rebuilding for months, giving you gradual, natural-looking enhancement over time.
Yes. While it’s often chosen for correction, CO2 resurfacing can also help maintain skin quality by encouraging collagen renewal before deeper lines, sagging, or textural issues become more prominent. If you take steps to maintain your skin’s texture and shine now, you can limit the amount of noticeable cosmetic concerns in the future.
CO2 resurfacing uses light energy to precisely target skin layers, while chemical peels use acids to dissolve them. Lasers allow more control and can address deeper concerns with greater precision. We offer both options at DeeTox, so if you’re interested in one or both of these treatments, our team members can discuss the ideal choice with you.
