What Is CO₂ Laser Resurfacing?

CO2 laser resurfacing is the gold standard in non-surgical skin rejuvenation. This ablative treatment precisely vaporizes damaged skin layers while triggering a powerful collagen response deep within your dermis—delivering dramatic improvements that gentler lasers simply can't match.

This is the treatment dermatologists trust for serious skin concerns: deep wrinkles, stubborn acne scars, significant sun damage, uneven pigmentation, and rough texture. If other treatments haven't delivered the results you wanted, CO2 laser resurfacing is designed for transformation, not just subtle improvement.

Book your consultation today and find out if CO₂ Laser Resurfacing is right for you. Our expert dermatologists are here to help you achieve the results you're looking for.

Why Choose CO2 Laser Resurfacing at Rejuvenation Oakville

One Treatment vs. Multiple Sessions

CO2 laser typically delivers transformative results in just one treatment. The difference is depth—CO2 penetrates deeper and removes more damaged tissue.

Dermatologist-Led Expertise

Every treatment at Rejuvenation is supervised by board-certified dermatologists with extensive laser experience. This medical-grade expertise ensures both safety and optimal results.

Collagen & Tissue Renewal

Because you're building new collagen and replacing damaged tissue, results can last for years with proper care. You're not covering up problems—you're correcting them at a cellular level.

Superior, Long-Lasting Results

One treatment and 7–14 days of healing can deliver a transformation that lasts 3–5 years. Some patients maintain visible improvements for 5–10 years, far outlasting the results of multiple, less effective treatments.

How CO2 Laser Resurfacing Works

The treatment uses microscopic columns of fractional laser light that penetrate deep into your skin:

  • At the Surface: Laser energy vaporizes the damaged outer layer, eliminating years of sun damage, scarring, and texture irregularities.
  • In the Dermis: The laser creates controlled heat injury at the cellular level, triggering your body's powerful healing response.
  • The Collagen Response: Over the following weeks and months, your skin produces fresh, healthy collagen—the structural protein that gives skin its firmness and smoothness. You're literally building new, healthier skin from within.
  • Fractional Advantage: The laser treats precise columns while leaving surrounding areas untouched, which accelerates healing and minimizes downtime.

The treatment takes 45-60 minutes. As your skin heals over 1-2 weeks, damaged layers are replaced with fresh, smooth skin. But improvements continue for 3-6 months as collagen rebuilds—meaning your results actually get better over time.

3. CO₂ Laser Resurfacing Treatment
4. Immediate Post-Treatment Care

We start by understanding your unique skin concerns and goals. Your dermatologist will assess your skin type, explain how the treatment works, and design a personalized plan that targets your specific needs.

FAQs:

Most patients need 1-3 CO₂ laser sessions, spaced 4-8 weeks apart, depending on their skin concerns and goals. During your consultation, we'll assess your skin and recommend the best treatment plan for you

Expect 7-14 days of healing time for fractional CO₂ resurfacing. Your skin will be red, swollen, and peeling during this time. Most patients can return to normal activities after 10-14 days, though mild redness may persist for several weeks.

CO₂ laser resurfacing works best on lighter skin tones (Fitzpatrick skin types I-III). Patients with darker skin may have a higher risk of pigmentation changes. During your consultation, our dermatologists will evaluate your skin type and determine if this treatment is safe and appropriate for you, or recommend alternative options.

CO₂ laser resurfacing penetrates deeper and delivers more dramatic, longer-lasting results compared to Fraxel or microneedling. While those treatments require multiple sessions with minimal downtime, CO₂ laser resurfacing typically requires just one treatment but with more significant downtime (7-14 days vs. 1-3 days). It's ideal for patients seeking transformative results for deep wrinkles, severe scarring, or significant sun damage.

Early improvements appear at 2-3 weeks as your skin heals. Your results will continue to improve over the next 3-6 months as collagen rebuilds. Results typically last 3-5 years, with some patients maintaining visible improvements for 5-10 years.

All CO₂ laser resurfacing treatments at Rejuvenation are supervised by our experienced, board-certified dermatologists. This ensures you receive the highest standard of care with medical-grade technology in a safe, professional environment.

The cost of CO₂ laser resurfacing varies based on the treatment area and the extent of resurfacing needed. During your consultation, we'll provide you with a detailed quote tailored to your specific treatment plan. We also offer financing options to make your treatment more accessible.
