Fractionated CO2 laser resurfacing is especially effective to remove surface wrinkles of the face and neck, and common treatment areas include the fine wrinkles around the eyes, pucker lines around the mouth, and surface creases of the entire face and neck.

This treatment is performed using a “super-pulsed” carbon dioxide (CO2) laser, which scans hundreds of precise, tiny micro-beams over the skin’s surface. These tiny laser spots heal quickly and allow shrinkage of the skin through the regeneration of collagen, which smooths wrinkles and provides a fresh, new skin surface.

CO2 Laser Resurfacing is often used in combination with eyelid surgery or facelift.
