When it comes to rejuvenating your skin, few treatments have earned the gold-standard title like CO2 laser resurfacing. Whether you’re battling acne scars, sun damage, or just want your glow back, this powerhouse laser is the skin refresh you didn’t know you needed: until now. At Aesthetic Island NYC, we’re bringing high-tech with high-touch, delivering results that turn heads without sacrificing comfort or care. Here’s everything you need to know about CO2 laser treatments, straight from the experts.
What Is a CO2 Treatment, and How Does It Work?
Think of the CO2 laser as the ultimate skin reset button. This technology uses carbon dioxide energy to remove the outermost layer of damaged skin while gently heating the deeper layers. That heat stimulates your body’s natural collagen production, resulting in a smoother texture, firmer tone, and a radiant glow that says, “I invest in myself.”
What Can Patients Expect During a CO2 Treatment Session?
First, we cleanse your skin and apply a numbing cream to make sure you’re comfortable throughout the session. The laser treatment itself usually takes 45–60 minutes, depending on the area being treated. You might feel a warm, sunburn-like sensation, nothing too intense. Post-treatment, your skin will be red and tight, which is a good sign: that’s collagen kicking into gear.
How Many Treatments Are Typically Needed to See Results?
Some clients see transformative results after just one session. If you’re targeting deeper lines, acne scars, or more stubborn concerns, you may need up to three treatments spaced out over time. The best part? The results get even better in the weeks and months following your session as your skin continues to regenerate collagen.
