Glow Up with the Power of CO2

What is a CO2 Laser?

CO2 laser treatments are FDA-approved, minimally invasive cosmetic treatments that utilize carbon dioxide and light beams to target imperfections in the skin and minimize their appearance. By penetrating through the topmost layer of skin to evaporate water molecules in the dermis, CO2 laser treatments effectively rejuvenate the skin. Your body’s natural collagen then replaces dead skin cells with younger, tighter, blemish-free skin.

Benefits of CO2 Laser

CO2 laser treatments offer many benefits, including quick recovery time, lasting results, and minimal upkeep to maintain them. Most patients only need two to three sessions to achieve their ideal results.

What areas of the body can be treated with CO2 Laser?

CO2 laser treatments can be used on many parts of the body, from the face and neck to the back, chest, arms, and legs. Most visible planes of skin that are susceptible to skin blemishes and imperfections can undergo CO2 laser treatment.

Consultation and Preparation for CO2 Laser

During your consultation, our dedicated team of expert providers will assess if you are a good candidate for CO2 laser treatments before creating an individualized treatment plan unique to you. They may advise multiple treatment sessions to achieve your desired results. To ensure optimal results and a smooth recovery, follow these pre-treatment instructions:

  • Hydrate Well – Drink plenty of water at least two days prior to your procedure.
  • Avoid Excessive Sun Exposure – Minimize direct sun exposure for two weeks before treatment.
  • Refrain From Certain Medications & Supplements – Do not consume alcohol, NSAIDs (Aspirin, Aleve, Motrin), or fish oil the day before your procedure.
  • Come Prepared – Bring a hat and sunglasses to protect your skin after treatment.
  • Follow Skincare Guidelines – Use any prescribed pre-treatment skincare products as directed by your provider.

Following these steps will help enhance your results and support your skin’s healing process.

What to Expect

The CO2 Laser Procedure

During your CO2 laser treatment, your skin will be cleaned and numbed with a local anesthetic. Once numb, you will receive protective eyewear. Your provider will then begin the CO2 lasering process, gently moving the laser over the surface of your skin. When finished, your skin will be cooled, and a protective dressing may be applied. The entire appointment takes an average of an hour to complete.

Healthy, Radiant Skin in No Time

Results, Recovery, and Aftercare for CO2 Laser

After treatment, your skin may appear red and swollen. After about a week, your skin should improve significantly and begin to produce the collagen it needs to rejuvenate. Two weeks after your treatment, your skin will continue to boost collagen to keep it looking smooth and even. The full results of your CO2 laser treatment may take up to six months to appear. Things to avoid during recovery:

  • Picking dry skin
  • Strenuous activity for the first week
  • Direct sun exposure
  • Harsh cleansers and exfoliants
  • Sleeping on your side or stomach

CO2 Laser Frequently Asked Questions

While we try to make every patient as comfortable as possible, CO2 laser treatments can cause discomfort during recovery comparable to a sunburn. Follow post-treatment instructions to minimize discomfort and maximize results.

If you experience any of the following, CO2 laser treatments may not be the solution for you:

  • Active Acne 
  • Malignant or pre-malignant pigmented lesions 
  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding 
  • Scleroderma 
  • Diabetes 
  • Active herpes simplex virus

Most patients undergo one to three treatments to achieve maximum results, which can last anywhere from three to five years.

Skin types V-IV may not be eligible for CO2 laser treatments because the laser cannot accurately function without risking burns or other injuries. During your consultation, our experts can help you find the treatment that is safest and most suitable for your skin.

CO2 Laser treatments can be combined with other cosmetic treatments, such as dermal fillers, microneedling, and even facelifts!

Dr. Quinn and his team create individualized treatment plans for every one of his patients, causing individual prices to vary. Schedule your consultation today to get an accurate CO2 laser cost.
