What Is CO₂ Laser Skin Resurfacing? Everything You Need to Know

If you’ve been noticing fine lines, uneven texture, or sun damage that your skincare routine can’t quite tackle, CO₂ laser skin resurfacing might be the reset your skin needs. This transformative treatment uses advanced laser technology to smooth, tighten, and rejuvenate your complexion — giving you that luminous, refreshed glow that feels like you, only more radiant.

At Uplift Skin and Body, we offer CO₂ laser resurfacing as part of our physician-led approach to skin health. Here’s everything you need to know before you book your treatment.

What Is CO₂ Laser Resurfacing?

CO₂ laser skin resurfacing is a fractional laser treatment that removes damaged outer layers of skin while stimulating collagen production underneath. Think of it as a deep rejuvenation for your skin’s texture and tone — targeting fine lines, acne scars, pigmentation, and sun damage in a single, powerful treatment.

Our team uses medical-grade precision to customize the depth and intensity of your CO2 laser treatment, ensuring safe, effective results that align with your unique skin goals.

What Does It Treat?

CO₂ laser resurfacing is ideal for patients looking to address:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles

  • Sun damage or age spots

  • Acne scars or uneven texture

  • Dullness or loss of firmness

  • Enlarged pores

Because the treatment works deep within the skin’s structure, results continue to improve for weeks as new collagen develops, revealing smoother, firmer, more even-toned skin.

What to Expect from Treatment and Recovery

Your skin will be thoroughly cleansed and prepped before treatment begins. Most patients describe the sensation as warm or tingly, similar to a sunburn. Afterward, you may experience a few days of redness and mild peeling — signs that your skin is renewing itself.

Downtime depends on the intensity of your treatment, but most patients return to normal activities within five to seven days. You’ll notice initial radiance soon after, with full results appearing as collagen rebuilds over the next few months.

At Uplift, we provide personalized post-care guidance and check-ins to ensure your skin heals beautifully and comfortably.
