What Is CO2 Laser Treatment Edmonton, and How Does It Work?

CO2 lasers deliver concentrated beams of energy that both ablate the epidermis and deliver heat deep into the dermis. The laser creates microscopic columns of thermal injury, triggering the body’s natural healing response—a key element in the safety and effectiveness of the treatment—while leaving surrounding tissue intact. As the damaged skin is replaced with new, healthy tissue, the complexion becomes smoother, firmer, and more even.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is CO₂ laser resurfacing and how does it work?

CO₂ laser resurfacing is an advanced skin‑rejuvenation procedure that uses fractional beams of carbon‑dioxide laser energy to remove damaged outer layers of skin and deliver controlled heat deep into the dermis. This dual action triggers the body’s natural healing process and stimulates collagen production, leading to smoother, firmer and more even‑toned skin.
It is commonly used to treat fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, surgical scars, enlarged pores, uneven texture, age spots and sun damage. The treatment improves overall tone and tightness, making it an option for anyone seeking a more youthful complexion.
Most clients require between one and three sessions depending on the severity of their skin concerns and the depth of treatment. Sessions typically take 30–60 minutes for the full face; treating smaller areas or scars can be shorter. Multiple treatments spaced several months apart may be recommended for deeper concerns.
Pricing varies based on the area treated and the intensity of the procedure. At clinics like Albany Cosmetic & Laser Centre, a single session generally ranges from roughly CAD 500 to CAD 2 500. Your practitioner can provide a personalized quote after assessing your skin.
In the weeks leading up to your session, avoid prolonged sun exposure, tanning beds and self‑tanning products. Discontinue retinoids, hydroquinone or other strong exfoliating agents as advised by your provider. You may be asked to stop certain medications that increase photosensitivity or bleeding risk. On the day of treatment, arrive with clean skin free of makeup, lotions or perfumes.
The area will be cleansed and, if needed, a topical anesthetic will be applied to minimize discomfort. The clinician then delivers fractional laser pulses to the treatment area. You may feel warmth or a prickling sensation as the laser works. The session length depends on the size of the area being treated.
Most people describe the sensation as moderate heat or a series of quick pinpricks. Topical anesthetics and cooling techniques help manage discomfort. After the procedure, the treated skin may feel similar to a sunburn.
Redness, swelling and mild to moderate peeling are common in the first few days. More aggressive treatments can result in a longer recovery period. Downtime typically lasts five to ten days, during which the skin may be sensitive and appear pink or flaky.
Keep the treated area clean and moisturized with gentle, fragrance‑free products as directed by your practitioner. Avoid picking or scratching peeling skin. Protect the area from sun exposure by wearing a broad‑spectrum sunscreen and avoiding direct sunlight. Refrain from using harsh exfoliants, retinoids or active skincare products until your provider confirms it is safe.
Healthy individuals with concerns such as wrinkles, scars or sun damage are typically good candidates. Those with darker skin tones may need a tailored approach to reduce the risk of hyperpigmentation. Pregnant or breastfeeding women, individuals with active infections, certain autoimmune conditions or a recent history of isotretinoin use should avoid treatment. A consultation ensures your suitability.
Initial improvements become noticeable as swelling subsides over the first few weeks. Collagen production continues for several months, so skin texture and tone keep improving for up to six months. Results can last several years, although ongoing sun protection and healthy skincare habits help maintain them longer.
Yes. Many clients combine resurfacing with cosmetic injectables, microneedling or other laser procedures for comprehensive rejuvenation. These are typically spaced apart to allow skin recovery. Your practitioner will create a treatment plan tailored to your goals and skin condition.
