CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing
CO2 laser resurfacing uses focused laser energy to remove damaged outer layers of skin while heating the deeper layers to stimulate new collagen, improving fine lines, sun damage, acne scarring, and uneven texture over a series of treatments. Dr. Fabio offers both fractional (shorter downtime) and fully ablative (more dramatic, single-session) approaches depending on your goals.
What This Procedure Can Address
- Smooths fine lines and wrinkles, especially around the mouth and eyes
- Improves sun damage, age spots, and uneven pigmentation
- Softens the appearance of acne scarring
- Tightens mildly lax skin through new collagen production
- Fractional and fully ablative options depending on downtime and goals
Technique & Recovery
Fractional treatments typically involve 3 to 5 days of redness and peeling, with a full series of 3 sessions spaced about a month apart for cumulative improvement. A fully ablative treatment delivers more dramatic results in one session but requires 7 to 10 days of more involved downtime with diligent sun protection for several months afterward, since new skin is temporarily more sun-sensitive. Full collagen remodeling and final results continue to improve for up to 3 to 6 months after treatment.
