What Is CO2 Laser and How Does It Work for Skin Resurfacing?
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.
