Frequently Asked Questions

CO₂ laser resurfacing is a medical procedure that rejuvenates skin using a 10,600-nm beam absorbed by water in the epidermis and dermis.
  • Modern fractional delivery creates thousands of microscopic columns of controlled ablation and heat, leaving surrounding tissue intact to speed healing.
  • This triggers a wound-repair cascade: damaged cells are vaporized, fibroblasts make new collagen and elastin, and smoother, tighter skin replaces rough, lined, or scarred areas.
  • Clinicians can adjust energy, density, and pulse to target fine lines, acne scars, texture, and stubborn sun damage on the face, neck, and chest.
  • Expect several days of redness and peeling, then progressive improvement over weeks to months as collagen remodels.
Sunscreen and diligent aftercare maximize results and reduce risks. Suitable for screened candidates.
  • You’re a strong candidate if you want meaningful improvement in acne or surgical scars, etched lines, rough texture, large pores, or sun damage, and you’re comfortable with several days of downtime.
  • Ideal patients are healthy, untanned, nonsmokers with realistic expectations, consistent SPF use, and willingness to follow pre- and post-care precisely.
  • Most skin tones can be treated with careful settings, pretreatment, and strict sun avoidance; a patch test may be recommended for higher pigment risk.
  • Not ideal now: pregnancy or breastfeeding; active infection, open wounds, or cold sores; recent significant tanning; uncontrolled medical conditions; history of keloids or abnormal healing; photosensitizing medicines or very recent isotretinoin use.
  • Your clinician will review all medications, HSV history, and design a safe, customized plan.
  • 2–4 weeks before: Avoid sun, tanning beds, and self-tanner; start daily mineral SPF 30–50 and protective clothing.
    • Discuss isotretinoin (Accutane) history; many must be off it for several months—follow your prescriber.
    • If prone to melasma/dark spots, consider a pigment-suppressing cream; an optional patch test may be recommended for individuals at higher risk of pigment issues.
    • Arrange antivirals if you get cold sores; pause waxing, threading, depilatories, peels, microneedling.
  • 1–2 weeks before: Tell us all medications/supplements (photosensitizers, blood thinners). Do not stop prescriptions without approval.
  • 3–5 days before: Stop retinoids, AHAs/BHAs, benzoyl peroxide, scrubs; use a gentle cleanser and a bland moisturizer only.
  • 24 hours before: No alcohol or intense workouts; hydrate well; avoid new products.
  • Day of: Arrive clean and makeup-free; remove contacts if treating eyelids; plan for numbing and downtime; bring a hat/SPF. Reschedule if sunburned or ill.
  • Most patients experience a few days of social downtime after fractional CO₂ resurfacing.
  • Immediately after treatment, you can expect intense redness, warmth, and swelling; clear oozing and bronzing may follow in the first 24–72 hours.
  • Over days 3–7, the skin crusts and peels; pinkness can persist several weeks as new skin strengthens.
  • Common, temporary effects include tightness, itching, and small whiteheads (milia).
  • Less common but important risks include infection, cold sore reactivation, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, prolonged redness, scarring, and changes in skin tone.
  • We may use PRP and Special Peptide serum to speed up the healing for an extra cost
  • Plan time off work and avoid heat, sun, and active skincare until cleared. Contact the clinic promptly if you experience spreading redness, pus, blisters, or fever.
  • Treatment plans are individualized, but most people require one to two fractional CO₂ sessions for moderate texture, lines, and sun damage. Deeper acne or surgical scars may benefit from three or more staged treatments.
  • You’ll notice early improvement as the redness subsides in 7–14 days, with a smoother texture and more even tone.
  • The most significant changes build gradually as collagen remodels over 3–6 months, continuing to refine for up to a year.
  • Results for scars and texture are long-lasting; however, expression lines and pigment continue to age with time.
  • Therefore, maintaining your gains through daily mineral SPF 30–50, smart skincare, and occasional touch-ups is essential.
  • First 24–48 hours
    • Use cool compresses 10 minutes on/10 off (no ice directly on skin).
    • Keep skin moist/occluded with petrolatum/Aquaphor every 2–3 hours; don’t pick.
    • Cleanse gently with tepid water and a non-foaming cleanser; pat dry.
    • Sleep slightly elevated; clean pillowcase; keep pets off the face.
    • Pain: use acetaminophen as directed; take any prescribed antivirals/antibiotics.
  • Days 2–7
    • Expect redness, swelling, bronzing/crusting—let it shed naturally.
    • When oozing stops, switch to a ceramide-rich cream; reapply often.
    • Strict sun avoidance; wide-brim hat. Start mineral SPF 30–50 once skin is closed.
    • Avoid heat, heavy workouts, alcohol, and irritants (retinoids, AHAs/BHAs, scrubs, devices).
    • If instructed: diluted white-vinegar soaks (1 tsp/1 cup cooled sterile water) 5–10 min, 2–3×/day, then moisturize.
  • Days 8–14
    • Continue SPF and moisturizers; reintroduce gentle actives slowly when fully calm; mineral makeup when not weeping.
