I’ve been to a number of different places for face treatments in California and really liked Fractional CO2 laser resurfacing I received with my dermatologist many years ago. I went in for a consultation at SMooth Solutions Medspa and met with the owner. I was very quickly impressed by her knowledge, not only of the treatments, but the underlying mechanics of the machines. We spoke about what I was looking for and she provided a treatment unique to my needs. I am about 1 week post-treatment and I can already see some improvements. To be fair tho, this stuff really takes multiple months to really see the benefits, but it is already noticeably better than when I had treatments at LaserAway.

your personalized co2 results
Anyone can benefit from a fractional CO2 laser treatment as it can be tuned to the right depth and intensity to treat a number of different concers.
Acne & surgical scars
CO2 laser treatment is highly effective for improving the appearance of acne and surgical scars by resurfacing the skin and promoting deep collagen remodeling. The laser creates controlled micro-injuries in the scarred tissue, which triggers the body’s natural healing response and encourages the formation of new, healthy skin. Over time, this process smooths uneven texture, softens raised or indented scars, and reduces redness or discoloration, leading to a more refined and even complexion.
Fine lines and deep wrinkles
The CO2 laser treatment works to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, promoting firmer, more youthful skin. With continued improvement over time, CO2 laser resurfacing helps you maintain a timeless, radiant appearance.
SUN DAMAGE
CO2 laser treatment is a powerful and effective solution for reversing sun damage by precisely removing damaged outer layers of skin and stimulating the body’s natural healing process. Using a focused beam of carbon dioxide laser energy, the treatment targets sun-induced issues like rough texture, fine lines, wrinkles, and pigmentation irregularities. As the laser vaporizes damaged skin cells, it also heats the underlying dermis, triggering collagen production and skin remodeling. The result is smoother, firmer, and more evenly toned skin with significantly reduced signs of photodamage. CO2 laser is especially effective for treating areas with deep wrinkles and extensive sun exposure, such as the face, neck, and chest.
Skin laxity & sagging
CO2 laser treatment helps improve skin laxity and sagging by delivering controlled heat deep into the dermis, which stimulates collagen production and tightens existing collagen fibers. This thermal effect triggers the skin’s natural remodeling process, resulting in firmer, more lifted skin over time. As new collagen forms, the skin becomes tighter, smoother, and more youthful in appearance, making CO2 laser an effective non-surgical option for addressing mild to moderate sagging in areas like the face, neck, and jawline.
ENLARGED PORES
CO2 laser treatment helps minimize the appearance of enlarged pores by resurfacing the skin and stimulating collagen production around the pore walls. As the skin heals and regenerates, it becomes smoother and more refined, leading to tighter, less visible pores and an overall improved skin texture.

CO2 laser treatment is one of the most advanced and effective skin resurfacing procedures available, delivering dramatic improvements in skin tone, texture, and overall appearance. By using precise, fractionated laser energy, it removes damaged outer layers of skin while stimulating deep collagen production to promote long-term rejuvenation. This makes it highly effective for treating fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, enlarged pores, and skin laxity. With proper aftercare, CO2 laser results are long-lasting, revealing smoother, tighter, and more radiant skin.
Our difference? fractionated technology, highly skilled approach.
At SMooth Solutions Medspa, we like to inform our clients about the different technologies we have available and allow them to make an informed choice.
Traditional CO2 laser treatments are known for having significant downtime post procedure, so our clinic chose to add a fractionated CO2 laser to our treatment list. This technology is far superior and uses controlled microbeams, creating “fractional” columns of treatment. By delivering these microbeams, the laser removes damaged skin layers in a more precise and efficient way, which speeds up healing and reduces downtime compared to traditional CO2 lasers.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does CO2 laser resurfacing work?
CO2 laser treatment uses fractional carbon dioxide laser technology to remove damaged outer layers of the skin, stimulate collagen production deep within the dermis and promote regeneration of healthy new skin cells.
Who is a good candidate for CO2 laser treatment?
CO2 laser resurfacing is a great option for those who have visible signs of aging, scarring, or sun damage. It is a great solution for patients seeking significant skin texture and tone improvement. CO2 laser resurfacing is best suitable for lighter skin tones but fractional treatments can be tailored to asian, latin, and Indian skin types as well. For darker skin types, we offer alternative laser resurfacing treatments such as the HALO and LaseMD Ultra. CO2 laser resurfacing is also not recommended for women who are pregnant and those that have active cystic acne and breakouts.
Is CO2 laser resurfacing painful?
All laser skin resurfacing treatments will have some degree of discomfort. Prior to your CO2 laser treatment, topical numbing will be applied on your skin for a duration of 45 minutes to 1 hour to minimize any pain or discomfort you may feel.
How long does recovery from a CO2 laser treatment take?
Depending on the depth of your CO2 laser resurfacing treatment, recovery can take anywhere from 3 to 10 days. Full re-epithelialization of the epidermis may take up to 2 weeks for a deep resurfacing treatment. Redness, swelling and peeling should be expected while the skin is healing. Post-care products that are safe to use after a CO2 laser resurfacing treatment, will be provided to you at no cost by our clinic.
What should be avoided after a CO2 laser treatment?
Following your CO2 laser resurfacing treatment, post-procedure products will be provided to you by our clinic. You will be instructed to avoid direct sun exposure for a few weeks. While the skin is healing, we recommend not picking or scrubbing the treated areas. Harsh skincare products with active ingredients should be avoided as well as strenuous activity that may cause sweating.
How long do CO2 laser resurfacing results last?
The longevity of your results from a CO2 laser treatment will vary based on your individual concerns and skin type. We recommend doing a series of 3 treatments optimally spaced out for deep wrinkles, laxity, deep acne scars, deep fine lines and more. Improvements are long-lasting, often several years and maintenance will vary on the use of proper skincare and sun protection. Most clients return annually for maintenance treatments. Based on your specific concerns, the right treatment recommendations will be made to ensure you are satisfied with the outcome.
Is CO2 laser resurfacing safe?
Yes, CO2 laser treatments are safe when performed by trained and experienced professionals. At our clinic, all laser resurfacing treatment recommendations are reviewed by a medical provider (supervising physician). With proper after care and the use of correct post procedure products that are safe to use following a CO2 laser treatment, the skin can healing optimally and quickly with no side effects. Redness, swelling and short term pigment changes may occur, but will be resolved quickly with the use of correct after care as advised by our providers.
