Our CO2 Laser System is a versatile, advanced solution designed to improve overall skin quality and restore a smoother, more youthful appearance. This treatment addresses a wide range of concerns, including skin laxity, crepiness, uneven texture, sun damage, pigmentation, fine lines, deeper wrinkles, benign pigmented lesions (AK/SK), scars, and stretch marks.
This treatment is best suited for Fitzpatrick skin types I–III.
Using a precision Micro-Thermal Zone Scanner, treatments are fully customizable—from a light microlaser peel for subtle skin refreshment to deeper resurfacing for more dramatic rejuvenation.
Our system also features SwiftScan Technology, a fully automated, FDA-cleared handpiece that ensures consistent energy delivery, enhanced precision, and improved patient comfort throughout the treatment.

What to Expect
CO2 laser resurfacing works by creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen production and cellular turnover. Treatment times vary depending on the area treated and the intensity of the procedure. A topical numbing agent is typically applied beforehand to ensure comfort.

Downtime & Recovery
- Downtime depends on the depth of the treatment:
- Light treatments (microlaser peel): 2–4 days of redness and mild peeling
- Moderate treatments: 5–7 days of redness, swelling, and peeling
- Deep resurfacing: 7–10+ days of recovery with more noticeable peeling and redness
Patients can expect continued improvement in skin texture and tone over several weeks as collagen rebuilds.
