CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing Overview

Take years off your skin with CO2 laser skin resurfacing in Beverly Hills. This rejuvenating laser treatment encourages the production of collagen and healthy new skin cells while enhancing the skin's tone and texture.

What is CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing?

CO2 laser skin resurfacing is a procedure that involves the use of carbon dioxide (CO2) and a skin resurfacing laser (ablative laser) to remove fine lines and wrinkles, scars, sun damage, texture problems, and other skin conditions. It also offers the benefits of skin tightening, a smoother and more even complexion, and a youthful glow with just one session.

Fractionated CO2 laser treatments are considered to be the most invasive of laser treatments, with an average downtime of 5-10 days. CO2 laser is regarded as a safe and effective treatment to address signs of aging on the face and body for most skin types; however, due to the prolonged period of healing and risk for post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, it is not recommended for darker skin tones.

How Long Until I See Results?

You will see results 3-4 weeks after your treatment, with the most benefit becoming more apparent 3-6 months after your treatment. This depends on the severity of your skin condition before the procedure, and how many treatments you will need to get your desired result.

How long do results from CO2 laser resurfacing typically last?

Is CO2 laser resurfacing worth it compared to other skin treatments?

CO2 laser resurfacing is often considered one of the most effective treatments for deeper wrinkles, scars, and texture issues because it delivers more dramatic, long-lasting results than non-ablative treatments. However, it also requires more downtime, so the decision depends on your goals and tolerance for recovery.

What is the best age to start CO2 laser resurfacing?

There is no specific age requirement, but most patients consider CO2 laser resurfacing in their 30s to 60s when signs of aging, sun damage, or scarring become more noticeable. The best time depends on your individual skin concerns rather than age alone.

Can CO2 laser resurfacing be combined with other treatments?

Yes, CO2 laser resurfacing is often combined with treatments like injectables or skincare regimens to enhance overall results. A customized treatment plan can address multiple concerns at once, improving both skin quality and facial rejuvenation outcomes.
