CO2 DOT Laser Resurfacing

CO2 DOT Laser Resurfacing

Experience the ultimate in skin rejuvenation with CO2 Dot Laser Resurfacing, a fully ablative laser treatment designed to dramatically improve skin texture, tone, and overall appearance. This advanced procedure effectively addresses deep wrinkles, severe sun damage, acne scars, and uneven pigmentation by precisely removing the outer layers of damaged skin, allowing fresh, healthy skin to emerge.

Unlike fractional treatments, like the CoolPeel®, fully ablative CO2 resurfacing provides the most significant skin renewal by delivering intense thermal energy to resurface the skin and stimulate deep collagen remodeling. The result is smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin with long-lasting improvements in elasticity and clarity. Because of its powerful effects, this treatments requires a longer recovery period, with redness, peeling, and downtime expected as the skin heals and regenerates. 

Who is CO2 DOT Laser Resurfacing Best For?

Ideal for those seeking dramatic skin transformation, CO2 DOT Laser Resurfacing is best suited for individuals ready for a more intensive approach to anti-aging and skin correction. Our expert providers will guide you through the process, ensuring optimal results tailored to your skin’s needs.

Long-Term Results

CO2 DOT Laser Resurfacing is typically a one-time treatment due to its intensity and effectiveness, though some patients with deeper wrinkles or significant scarring may benefit from a second session after full healing. Results continue to improve over the following 3-6 months as collagen production increases, leading to firmer, more youthful skin. The effects can last for years, especially with proper skincare and sun protection, making this a long-term solution for advanced skin rejuvenation.

What is the downtime and recovery like?

Since this is a fully ablative treatment, downtime is more intensive that fractional laser options. Expect 7-14 days of redness, swelling, and peeling as the skin heals. The first few days may involve oozing and crusting, followed by peeling as fresh skin regenerates. Most patients can apply makeup after 10-14 days, but redness may persist for several weeks to months, gradually fading over time. 

The best candidates are those with moderate to severe skin concerns who are willing to undergo downtime for dramatic, long-lasting results. This treatment is not ideal for darker skin tones due to risk of hyperpigmentation, but our providers can recommend alternative laser treatments for more inclusive skin types. 

Results from CO2 DOT Laser Resurfacing can last for years, especially with proper skincare, sun protection, and maintenance treatments like BBL®Heroic™ or Moxi®. Since the treatment stimulates long-term collagen production, improvements continue for 3-6 months post-treatment.
