What Is CO2 Laser Resurfacing?

CO2 laser resurfacing is one of the most effective treatments for reducing wrinkles, scars, and sun damage. The fractional CO2 laser by Cutera removes damaged outer skin while stimulating collagen production beneath the surface, revealing smoother, more youthful skin.

Unlike older resurfacing methods, fractional technology treats only a fraction of the skin at a time, allowing for faster recovery and less discomfort while maintaining impressive results.

Why Patients Choose Auveau

CO2 laser resurfacing requires precise calibration based on skin type and concerns. Chrissy Gray Lim, PA-C, adjusts depth and intensity for each treatment zone, ensuring optimal results with the shortest possible recovery.

The fractional CO2 laser can be combined with other Auveau treatments for comprehensive facial rejuvenation. We discuss every option during your consultation.
