CO₂ laser resurfacing is an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment that uses targeted laser energy to vaporize damaged outer skin layers while stimulating deep collagen remodeling. This powerful technology addresses significant skin concerns that other treatments cannot resolve, including deep wrinkles, severe sun damage, pronounced textural irregularities, surgical and acne scars, age spots, and precancerous lesions. At Koda Plastic Surgery, our incredible Aesthetician works with Dr. Sergey Turin to perform CO₂ laser treatments with surgical precision, delivering dramatic transformation for patients seeking comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

Why Choose CO₂ Laser Resurfacing?
CO₂ laser technology delivers the most dramatic skin transformation available through non-surgical means. The laser’s precision allows us to target specific depths and areas, removing damaged tissue while triggering robust collagen production that continues improving your skin for months. Unlike superficial treatments, CO₂ laser creates real structural change in your skin. Here’s why this treatment delivers unparalleled results:
- Dramatic wrinkle reduction: Significantly diminish deep lines, creases, and folds that resist other treatments.
- Comprehensive scar improvement: Substantially improve the appearance of surgical scars, acne scars, and traumatic scars.
- Reversal of sun damage: Remove years of accumulated photodamage, age spots, and uneven pigmentation.
- Skin tightening effects: Stimulate massive collagen remodeling that firms and lifts sagging skin.
- Textural transformation: Smooth rough, uneven surfaces and refine large pores for polished skin.
- Long-lasting outcomes: Results can last 5-10 years or more with proper skincare and sun protection.
- Flexibility: Treatments are totally customizable in terms of downtime and power - we can very aggressive to maximal results with longer downtime or do a very light and gentle treatment like a "lunchtime peel"
CO₂ Laser Treatment Options
CO₂ Face
CO₂ Face treatment targets the full facial area, addressing wrinkles, sun damage, scars, and textural concerns from hairline to jawline. This comprehensive approach treats forehead lines, crow’s feet, cheek texture, mouth lines, and overall facial skin quality. The treatment creates uniform improvement across the entire face for balanced, natural-looking rejuvenation.
This foundational service is ideal for maintaining well-groomed brows, correcting overgrown or unruly brows, creating defined arches that enhance your bone structure, and achieving a clean, polished appearance.
CO₂ Face + Neck
The CO₂ Face + Neck treatment extends coverage to include the neck area, which often shows significant aging but is frequently neglected. This combination addresses facial concerns while also improving neck texture, horizontal neck lines, crepey skin, and pigmentation. Treating face and neck together creates harmonious results without a visible line between treated and untreated areas.
CO₂ Face/Neck/Décolleté
Our most comprehensive option treats the face, neck, and chest area (décolleté) for complete upper body rejuvenation. The décolleté frequently shows sun damage, age spots, wrinkles, and texture issues that can reveal your age. This full-coverage treatment is ideal for patients who want thorough rejuvenation of all visible skin areas and those with significant sun damage extending to the chest.
CO₂ Scar Revision
CO₂ laser excels at improving the appearance of scars by breaking down fibrous scar tissue and stimulating new, healthy collagen formation. We offer scar revision treatment for varying sizes:
- Small Areas: Individual scars or small sections (e.g., single acne scar, small surgical scar)
- Medium Areas: Multiple scars or larger sections (e.g., cluster of acne scars, moderate surgical scar)
- Large Areas: Extensive scarring (e.g., widespread acne scarring, large surgical or traumatic scars)
Dr. Turin will assess your scarring and develop a treatment plan tailored to your specific situation.
Is CO₂ Laser Right for You?
Answer a few quick questions so we can understand your skin concerns and prepare the most helpful consultation for you
What to Expect From Your CO₂ Laser Treatment
On treatment day, the procedure is performed either with topical lidocaine for comfort and Pronox (laughing gas) or for the deeper treatments, we can also offer full lidocainel anesthesia with sedation. Treatment times vary by coverage area:
- CO₂ Face: 1-2 hours
- CO₂ Face + Neck: 2-3 hours
- CO₂ Face/Neck/Décolleté: 3-4 hours
- CO₂ Scar Revision: 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on area size
During the procedure, your provider treats the planned areas with the CO₂ laser, carefully controlling depth and coverage. You’ll be closely monitored throughout, and bandages or specialized dressings will be applied post-treatment. Detailed aftercare instructions and follow-up appointments will be scheduled to ensure proper healing.
Most facial resurfacing is a single comprehensive treatment. Scar revision typically requires multiple treatments spaced several months apart for optimal improvement.
Recovery That's Worth It for Lasting Rejuvenation
CO₂ laser resurfacing requires the most substantial recovery of any non-surgical skin treatment, but delivers the most dramatic results. Understanding the healing timeline helps you plan appropriately and ensure optimal outcomes.
- CO₂ Face: 10-14 days of significant downtime, 2-3 weeks until makeup can be applied
- CO₂ Face + Neck: 14-21 days of significant downtime, 3-4 weeks until makeup can be applied
- CO₂ Face/Neck/Décolleté: 14-21 days of significant downtime, 3-4 weeks until makeup can be applied
- CO₂ Scar Revision: 7-14 days depending on area size and depth treated
Expect significant swelling, redness, and oozing in the first 3-5 days. Your skin will crust and peel over 7-10 days. Redness gradually fades over 4-8 weeks, improving to pink and then blending with normal skin tone. You’ll need to remain out of direct sun exposure and follow a specific skincare regimen during healing.
Remarkable transformation:
Initial improvement is visible once swelling subsides, with continued enhancement as collagen remodels over 3-6 months.
Long-lasting rejuvenation:
Results typically last 5-10 years or longer with proper sun protection and skincare. Many patients consider this a one-time investment in their appearance, though some opt for touch-up treatments years later.
CO₂ Laser FAQs
How Much Downtime Does CO₂ Laser Require?
Plan for 10-21 days of significant social downtime depending on the treatment area. During this time, your skin will be red, swollen, and peeling. Most patients take 2-3 weeks off work and avoid social engagements. Residual redness continues for 4-8 weeks but can be covered with makeup after the initial healing period completes.
Is CO₂ Laser Painful?
The procedure itself is not painful as you’ll be under anesthesia or deep sedation. During recovery, you’ll experience discomfort similar to a severe sunburn for the first few days. We will prescribes pain medication to keep you comfortable during the initial healing phase for patients undergoing the more aggressive treatments. Most patients find the discomfort manageable and well worth the remarkable results.
Who Is a Good Candidate for CO₂ Laser?
Ideal candidates have significant skin concerns including deep wrinkles, substantial sun damage, or scarring that they want to dramatically improve. You should be in good health, have realistic expectations, and be able to commit to the recovery period and post-treatment care. CO₂ laser works best on lighter skin tones, though Dr. Turin can assess your specific situation during consultation.
