CO2 LASER
What Is CO2 Laser ?
CO2 Laser is an advanced skin resurfacing treatment that uses a carbon dioxide laser to remove damaged outer skin layers and stimulate collagen production. It’s highly effective for reducing deep wrinkles, acne scars, pigmentation, and improving overall skin texture and tightness.

CO2 LASER Treatment:
01
Consultation
A personalized assessment of your skin concerns—such as wrinkles, scarring, texture, and pigmentation—is conducted to determine if CO₂ laser resurfacing is suitable and to customize the treatment depth and plan for your skin type.
02
Preparation
Avoid sun exposure, tanning, waxing, and exfoliating treatments for at least 1–2 weeks prior. Discontinue retinoids and active skincare ingredients 5–7 days before. Arrive with clean, makeup- and product-free skin. You may be prescribed topical numbing cream or antiviral medication before treatment.
03
Procedure
A fractional CO₂ laser is applied to the targeted areas, delivering controlled beams of light to vaporize damaged skin layers while stimulating collagen regeneration. The procedure can be adjusted in intensity based on your skin’s needs and typically requires topical anesthesia for comfort.
04
Recovery
Moderate downtime is expected. Redness, swelling, and a sunburn-like sensation are common and may last several days. Skin may flake or peel during healing. Recovery time varies from 5–10 days, depending on treatment depth and your skin’s sensitivity.
CO2 LASER Aftercare
Redness, swelling, and a sunburn-like sensation are normal.
Use a cold compress and elevate your head while sleeping to reduce swelling.
Apply any prescribed ointments or healing balms as directed to keep the skin moist.
Gently cleanse with a mild, non-fragranced cleanser twice daily.
Pat dry with a clean, soft towel—do not rub.
Do not pick, scratch, or peel flaking skin.
