What Is CO2 Laser Resurfacing?

CO2 laser resurfacing uses controlled laser energy to remove damaged outer layers of skin while stimulating your skin’s natural healing and renewal process. As new skin forms, treatment can improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, uneven texture, and certain scars.

At Aesthetix, every treatment is customized to your skin and your goals. The depth and intensity of the laser can be adjusted depending on the concerns being treated, the level of improvement desired, and the amount of recovery that is appropriate for you.

For patients who need more significant skin renewal, fully ablative CO2 resurfacing treats the entire surface of the targeted area rather than smaller fractional treatment areas. Using advanced UltraPulse CO2 technology, your provider can precisely customize treatment to achieve meaningful results while creating a recovery plan that is right for you.

An individual decision

Is full-field resurfacing right for you?

Full-field resurfacing may be an option for more pronounced skin aging or selected scars, provided you can make time for recovery.

Your skin tone, medical history, past treatments, and ability to follow aftercare all shape the recommendation. A consultation helps you weigh the potential improvement against the demands and risks of treatment.

Make room for healing

Real recovery.
Clear expectations.

Fully ablative resurfacing requires dedicated wound care and time away from your usual routine. Surface healing, fading redness, and final results follow different timelines.

  1. Early healing

    Skin may be raw, swollen, tender, and oozing or crusting. Follow your physician’s instructions for cleansing, ointments or dressings, and prescribed medications.

  2. Returning to your routine

    Initial healing is often measured in weeks. Returning to work, exercise, and makeup depends on your treatment, how your skin heals, and your physician’s clearance.

  3. Redness & gradual refinement

    Pinkness or redness can persist for weeks to months after the surface closes. Changes develop as healing and collagen remodeling continue. Sun protection and follow-up remain important.
