Your skin will be cleansed, and a topical numbing cream may be applied to minimize discomfort, though it is not always necessary depending on individual tolerance. During the actual treatment, a specialized CO2 laser delivers precise, short pulses of light energy to gently ablate the skin’s surface. Patients may experience mild sensations like tingling or warmth, comparable to a light rubber band snap. The entire treatment typically takes 5-30 minutes, with a cooling device used to enhance patient comfort and minimize discomfort.
After the treatment
The treated area may be red, swollen, and tender for a few days. You may experience some mild discomfort, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication. You should avoid exposing the treated area to the sun and wear sunscreen with a high SPF to protect your skin.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many laser resurfacing treatments will I need?
The number of treatments depends on your skin concerns, the condition being treated, and the results you hope to achieve. Some patients see noticeable improvement after a single treatment, while others benefit from a series of sessions. During your consultation, we’ll recommend a treatment plan based on your skin evaluation and long-term goals.
When will I start seeing results after laser resurfacing?
Your skin continues to improve as it heals. Initial improvements may become noticeable within the first few weeks, while collagen remodeling continues over the following months, helping improve skin texture, tone, and overall appearance.
Can laser resurfacing be combined with other cosmetic treatments?
Yes. Laser resurfacing is often incorporated into a customized treatment plan alongside other aesthetic services when appropriate. Combining treatments can address multiple concerns at once while maintaining a personalized approach to your skin rejuvenation goals.
Is laser resurfacing safe for every skin type?
Laser resurfacing is suitable for many patients, but not every laser is appropriate for every skin type or skin condition. A consultation allows us to evaluate your skin, discuss your medical history, and determine whether laser resurfacing is the best treatment option for you.
How should I prepare for my consultation?
Your consultation is an opportunity to discuss your skin concerns, previous treatments, medications, and desired results. We’ll examine your skin, explain your treatment options, review what to expect before and after the procedure, and answer any questions so you can make an informed decision.
How long do laser resurfacing results last?
Results vary depending on the treatment performed, your skin condition, and how well you protect your skin afterward. Following your provider’s recommendations, maintaining a good skincare routine, and using daily sun protection can help prolong your results.
