CO2 Laser

CO2 skin resurfacing uses fractional or ablative carbon dioxide laser technology to improve skin texture, soften the appearance of fine lines, and address uneven pigmentation and sun damage. The treatment stimulates collagen production while removing targeted layers of damaged skin to support a smoother, more even complexion.

Treatment Time: approximately 30–60 minutes.

CO2 body resurfacing uses carbon dioxide laser technology to improve skin texture, tone, and the appearance of sun damage or other surface irregularities on the body. By removing targeted layers of damaged skin and stimulating collagen production, the treatment supports smoother-looking skin in the treated area.

Treatment Time: approximately 30–90 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area.

CO2 laser scar treatment targets scar tissue and stimulates collagen remodeling to improve the appearance of selected scars. The treatment can help soften uneven texture and reduce the visibility of certain surgical, acne, or traumatic scars over time.

Treatment Time: approximately 15–45 minutes, depending on the scar’s size, depth, and location.

CO2 laser treatment can be used to remove certain benign skin lesions after appropriate clinical assessment. The laser precisely targets the selected tissue, allowing a qualified provider to address specific raised or surface-level lesions while limiting treatment to the intended area.

Treatment Time: approximately 10–30 minutes, depending on the number, size, and location of the lesions.

CO2 laser treatment may be used as part of a treatment plan for fungal nail infections, targeting the affected nail area with controlled laser energy. Suitability depends on the severity of the infection, and results can vary; evaluation by a qualified healthcare professional can help determine whether laser treatment is appropriate.

Treatment Time: approximately 15–30 minutes, depending on the number of nails treated.

Although both chemical peels and CO₂ laser resurfacing focus on skin renewal, they work in different ways and can serve different purposes within a long-term treatment plan. CO₂ resurfacing is often chosen for more advanced concerns, while chemical peels may be used to maintain results, address surface-level imperfections, and support ongoing skin rejuvenation after recovery.

While CO₂ resurfacing primarily targets skin texture, wrinkles, scarring, and collagen remodeling, the Motus AZ+ laser can also address other concerns that contribute to an aged or uneven complexion. Depending on the treatment being performed, Motus AZ+ technology may help improve pigmentation concerns, vascular irregularities, unwanted hair, and overall skin quality.

The quality of your skincare routine before and after CO₂ laser resurfacing can significantly impact both healing and long-term results. Medical-grade skincare products help prepare the skin prior to treatment and provide ongoing support throughout the recovery process. Following treatment, carefully selected products can help maintain hydration, support barrier function, protect against environmental damage, and prolong the benefits of collagen remodeling.

RF microneedling stimulates collagen remodeling deep within the skin while improving firmness, elasticity, and overall texture with minimal downtime. Depending on your skin concerns and treatment plan, RF microneedling may be recommended before or after CO₂ laser resurfacing to enhance collagen production further, maintain long-term results, and support comprehensive skin rejuvenation.

Using growth factors derived from your own blood, PRP and PRF treatments may help improve skin texture and support tissue regeneration. Your provider can explain the differences between the treatments and whether either option may be appropriate alone or alongside another aesthetic procedure.

Exosome treatment uses extracellular vesicles containing signaling molecules that may support cellular communication and the skin’s natural repair processes. When incorporated into aesthetic treatments, exosomes may help support skin recovery, improve the appearance of texture, and promote a healthier-looking complexion. Treatment protocols vary depending on the product used and the patient’s skin concerns, and clinical evidence for aesthetic applications is still evolving.
