Fractional CO2 Skin Resurfacing

If your skin shows signs of aging and you want to improve this, skin resurfacing lasers may be your best bet. However, while skin resurfacing is an excellent way to rejuvenate the face, there are some drawbacks. Traditional CO2 lasers may leave your skin red, have a longer recovery period than you'd planned for, and can even scar or cause pigmentation problems.

The fractional CO2 resurfacing laser eliminates these drawbacks and leaves you with younger and healthier looking skin. By reducing fine lines and wrinkles, shrinking pore size, and tightening your skin, the fractional CO2 laser can improve the skin with very little recovery time.

Some of the benefits of the fractional CO2 skin resurfacing include:

  • Blending uneven pigmentation
  • Clearing sun-damaged skin
  • Minimizing acne scars
  • Smoothing lines and wrinkles
  • Reducing the size of your pores
  • Less pain and recovery time


If you have sun or age damaged skin, you may be a candidate for resurfacing with the fractional CO2 laser. The treatment is very fast, virtually painless, and completely safe and effective.

After your skin resurfacing treatment, the redness and swelling will only last for a few days. After three days, you can speak with our licensed esthetician about keeping your appearance, as well as the application of mineral makeup to return nutrients to your skin.
