Everything You Need to Know About CO₂ Laser Resurfacing
When it comes to skin rejuvenation, few treatments deliver results quite like a CO₂ laser. It’s one of the most effective ways to resurface the skin, smooth texture, and soften lines — all while stimulating deep collagen remodeling.
At The Skin Clinic, we love CO₂ because it can truly transform skin health and texture. It’s not about chasing perfection — it’s about restoring smoothness, brightness, and confidence in your skin.
What Exactly Is CO₂ Laser?
A CO₂ laser (carbon dioxide laser) uses light energy to gently remove damaged layers of skin, allowing fresh, healthy cells to appear. It also triggers your body’s natural healing response — boosting collagen and elastin production.
Think of it as a deep reset for your skin: it treats everything from fine lines and wrinkles to sun damage, pigmentation, texture, and scars.
The Two Versions We Offer
We use the DEKA CO₂ laser system, which allows us to completely customize your treatment — from full resurfacing to lighter, no-downtime options like CoolPeel.
Here’s a quick look at the difference between the two:
DEKA CO₂ (Traditional Fractional)
Depth: Treats deeper layers of the skin
Downtime: 5–7+ days of redness and peeling
Results: More dramatic improvement for deep wrinkles, scars, and advanced sun damage
Comfort: Requires numbing and a bit of recovery time
Best for: Clients wanting a more transformative, one-time treatment
CoolPeel CO₂
Depth: Works on the more superficial layers
Downtime: Only 1–3 days of mild redness or light flaking
Results: Subtle, refreshed tone and texture — great for maintenance or a quick glow
Comfort: Gentle and more comfortable, minimal downtime
Best for: Clients who want a lighter refresh with less disruption
