Refine your skin with precision laser technology

Overview

CO₂ laser resurfacing is a powerful, non-surgical treatment that uses fractional laser energy to target damaged skin at the surface and deeper levels. This advanced technology gently removes layers of dead or aged skin while stimulating collagen remodeling beneath the surface, revealing smoother, clearer, and more youthful skin.

At Nuance Aesthetics & Plastic Surgery, CO₂ laser treatments are performed and overseen by Dr. Jeannie Khavkin and Dr. Harry Ching, board-certified facial plastic surgeons with deep expertise in laser-based skin rejuvenation.

How It Works

The fractional CO₂ laser delivers focused energy into the skin in a controlled grid-like pattern. It creates microscopic channels that trigger the body’s natural healing and collagen production response, resurfacing the skin while minimizing downtime.

By precisely targeting both the epidermis and dermis, CO₂ laser treatments can address a wide range of skin concerns with noticeable improvement in both texture and tone.

What It Treats

CO₂ laser resurfacing is ideal for improving:

• Fine lines and deeper wrinkles
• Acne scars and other surface scarring
• Sun damage and pigmentation
• Uneven skin tone and texture
• Enlarged pores
• Skin laxity and crepey skin around the eyes or mouth

It is most commonly used on the face, neck, and décolletage but can also be effective for the hands and other areas of concern.

What to Expect

Treatment time is approximately 30–60 minutes depending on the area. Patients typically experience redness, warmth, and flaking for 5–7 days. A single session can offer significant results, though a series may be recommended based on your goals.

Downtime is moderate, but most patients resume light activity after a few days and see continued improvement over several weeks.
