When the CO2 beam of light comes in contact with the epidermis, it heats and vaporizes the skin. This instantly removes the superficial layers of the skin, improves scars and wrinkles, and smoothes out the surface of the skin. Skin remodeling occurs with new skin and collagen growth. This laser peel results in the improved appearance of sun-damaged and aging skin. It can also improve some skin blemishes and superficial scars. Improvements from CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing in St. Louis can be seen for many years after treatment. Results can be prolonged with diligent use of SPF, avoided sun exposure and with the correct at-home skincare.

CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing is a swift and comfortable laser procedure designed to improve the overall appearance of your skin. It can be tailored to address specific skin conditions and achieve your desired look.
CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing treatments use a tiny non-ablative laser beam to treat specific areas of the skin, promoting rapid healing. This stimulates collagen production, resulting in a firmer, more voluminous, and smooth appearance.
Ablative lasers remove the top and deeper layers of skin to address severe skin concerns, requiring longer recovery. Non-ablative lasers stimulate collagen production without removing the outer skin layer, suitable for treating milder conditions and requiring shorter recovery.
CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing can treat various areas including the face, neck, decolletage, chest, abdomen, hands, and legs.
Results vary by patient, and your laser specialist will personalize a treatment plan. Combining CO2 Laser treatments with other procedures may enhance results.
Most patients find CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing comfortable. A topical numbing cream is available to ensure a pleasant experience during treatment.
While some tightening may be noticeable immediately, full benefits will appear 4 to 6 months after treatment as collagen production begins.
Complete healing occurs within a few days, with most patients comfortable enough to return to work and apply makeup within 1-2 days. Swelling subsides within several days.
Clients should avoid direct sun exposure until the treatment area has healed and use sunscreen with a high SPF to protect the skin. Specific aftercare instructions will be provided by the provider.
