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.

CO2 laser treatment is one of the most advanced and effective solutions for tackling deep wrinkles, scars, stretch marks, and glycation. Unlike light-based treatments, the CO2 laser penetrates deeper into the skin, providing dramatic, long-lasting results. However, this powerful treatment requires a longer downtime, typically up to 7 days, making it ideal for those ready to commit to transformative skin rejuvenation.
At Sparkle Lifestyle & MediSpa, we customize every CO2 laser treatment to your unique needs and combine it with medical-grade skincare for optimal results. Here’s everything you need to know about this game-changing treatment.
What is CO2 Laser Treatment?
CO2 laser, also known as carbon dioxide laser resurfacing, uses a precise laser beam to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This stimulates collagen production and encourages the skin to regenerate, resulting in smoother, tighter, and more youthful-looking skin.
Unlike less aggressive treatments like PicoWay or IPL, CO2 laser treatment is ideal for addressing deeper skin concerns, such as:
- Deep wrinkles and fine lines
- Scars (acne, surgical, or trauma-related)
- Stretch marks
- Glycation (stiff, sugar-damaged skin)
- Uneven texture and tone
How Does CO2 Laser Work?
The laser creates tiny perforations in the skin’s surface, triggering the body’s natural healing process. This helps remove damaged skin while stimulating collagen and elastin production. The result? Smoother, tighter, and more radiant skin.
CO2 laser can be used on multiple areas of the body, including:
- Face: For wrinkles, fine lines, and skin texture.
- Neck and Décolletage: To tighten and smooth crepey skin.
- Body: Effective for stretch marks and scars on areas like the abdomen, arms, and legs.
Is CO2 Laser Right for You?
CO2 laser is best suited for individuals with:
- Deep wrinkles and fine lines
- Scars and stretch marks
- Sun-damaged or glycation-affected skin
- Uneven skin texture requiring deep resurfacing
During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your skin concerns and goals. You’ll also meet with our doctor to ensure you understand the procedure and its downtime.
Downtime and Recovery
CO2 laser treatment requires downtime of up to 7 days. You may experience:
- Redness and swelling: Similar to a sunburn.
- Peeling and flaking: As your skin sheds old, damaged cells.
- Post-treatment sensitivity: Your skin will need extra care and sun protection.
While this downtime is longer than less invasive treatments, the results are often worth it, with most clients needing only one session to see dramatic improvements.
Why Combine CO2 Laser with Skincare?
At Sparkle Lifestyle & MediSpa, we always combine CO2 laser treatments with medical-grade skincare. This enhances healing, improves results, and supports long-term skin health. Additionally, most clients will benefit from adding complementary treatments like:
- PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma): To boost collagen production.
- Mesotherapy: For added hydration and nourishment.
- PicoWay Resolve or Potenza RF: To further refine and rejuvenate the skin.
What to Expect During the Procedure
Before your treatment, a numbing cream is applied to ensure your comfort. The procedure typically takes 60–90 minutes, depending on the treatment area. Afterward, your skin may feel warm and tight, similar to a mild sunburn. We’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions to help you recover quickly and achieve the best results.
Results You’ll Love
CO2 laser results can be life-changing, especially for those with deep skin concerns. Here’s what you can expect:
- Smoother skin texture
- Reduction in wrinkles and scars
- Tighter, firmer skin
- Improved skin tone and elasticity
While one session is often enough, additional treatments or complementary procedures may be recommended to further enhance your results.
