What Is Full CO2 Laser?

Experience dramatic skin renewal with full CO₂ laser resurfacing, widely regarded as the gold standard in advanced skin rejuvenation. This powerful ablative laser treatment precisely removes damaged outer layers of skin while stimulating deep collagen remodeling within the dermis. By encouraging new, healthy skin cell growth, it significantly enhances overall texture, tone, and elasticity. Full CO₂ resurfacing is ideal for addressing deep wrinkles and fine lines, acne and surgical scars, sun damage, pigmentation irregularities, enlarged pores, and general skin laxity—offering comprehensive rejuvenation for those seeking visible, long-lasting improvement.

Typically performed as a single, intensive treatment, results from CO₂ laser resurfacing continue to develop and refine over the course of 3–6 months as collagen production increases. Depending on the depth and intensity of the procedure, downtime generally ranges from 7–14 days, allowing the skin to heal and reveal a smoother, firmer, and more youthful appearance. For patients ready to take a more transformative approach to aging or scarring, full CO₂ laser resurfacing delivers exceptional results, restoring a radiant complexion and renewed confidence.
