What Is CO2 Laser Resurfacing?

CO2 Laser Resurfacing is a fractional ablative laser treatment that removes damaged skin cells on the surface while stimulating collagen in deeper layers. It works by creating microscopic columns of thermal injury, which trigger the body’s natural healing process to generate new, smoother, and firmer skin. This treatment is known for its dramatic, long-lasting results.

How CO2 Laser Resurfacing Works

Our advanced CO2RE laser targets precise depths of the skin based on your concerns. We customize the treatment using Observ skin imaging and a detailed skin consultation.

The laser resurfaces your skin by vaporizing damaged tissue and stimulating collagen production. Depending on your needs, we can treat the full face or target specific areas like the mouth, eyes, neck, or scars.

Frequently Asked Questions

Fractional CO₂ Laser Resurfacing – FAQs for Sparkle Lifestyle & MediSpa

What is Fractional CO₂ Laser Resurfacing?

Fractional CO₂ laser resurfacing is an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment that uses controlled carbon dioxide laser energy to create tiny microchannels in the skin. This stimulates powerful collagen remodeling, resurfaces damaged tissue, and improves texture, tone, and firmness. At Sparkle Lifestyle & MediSpa in Moncton, it’s one of the most effective solutions for significant skin renewal.

How does the Fractional CO₂ laser work?

The laser delivers precise beams of energy into the deeper layers of the skin while leaving surrounding tissue untouched. These micro-injuries prompt the body to naturally heal, producing new collagen and healthy skin cells. This process improves wrinkles, scarring, pigmentation, and overall skin quality.

What concerns can Fractional CO₂ treat?

Fractional CO₂ is ideal for:
– Deep and fine lines
– Acne scarring
– Textural scarring
– Crepey skin
– Sun damage and pigmentation
– Enlarged pores
– Skin laxity
– Uneven skin texture
Overall rejuvenation of the face, neck, chest, and hands

Who is a good candidate for Fractional CO₂ resurfacing?

Adults with moderate-to-severe signs of aging, significant texture concerns, or stubborn scarring are excellent candidates. It is best suited for lighter skin tones, although deeper skin tones may qualify depending on settings and goals. A consultation at Sparkle helps determine if CO₂ is the safest option for you.

Does the treatment hurt?

A topical numbing cream and/or local anesthetic are applied to ensure comfort. Most clients describe the sensation as warm with a prickling or pressure-like feeling. The procedure is very tolerable with proper numbing.

How long does the treatment take?

A full Fractional CO₂ session typically takes 45–90 minutes, depending on the areas treated and the depth of resurfacing.

What is the downtime after Fractional CO₂?

Downtime varies with treatment intensity:
Days 1–3: Redness, swelling, warm sensation
Days 3–7: Peeling, crusting, and texture changes
Days 7–14: Pink, healing skin that gradually smooths
Most clients feel comfortable resuming public activities within 5–7 days, depending on the strength of their treatment.

When will I see results?

You’ll begin to see smoother, brighter skin within 1–2 weeks, with collagen rebuilding for up to 6 months. Final results evolve gradually as the skin continues to strengthen and refine.

How many treatments will I need?

Many clients see transformative results with one treatment, especially at higher settings. Some may choose a series of 1–3 treatments spaced several months apart for enhanced improvement or maintenance.

Is Fractional CO₂ laser safe?

Yes. When performed by trained medical professionals, Fractional CO₂ is considered safe and effective. Sparkle Lifestyle & MediSpa uses medical-grade protocols, customized settings, and comprehensive aftercare instructions to support a comfortable and successful recovery.

Can Fractional CO₂ be combined with other treatments?

Absolutely. CO₂ resurfacing pairs beautifully with:
Potenza or Matrix Pro RF Microneedling
Skin boosters
PRP or exosome therapy
Gentle chemical peels
Nordlys Frax resurfacing (for maintenance)
Combination strategies can significantly enhance long-term collagen and skin rejuvenation.
