What is CO2 Laser Resurfacing
Advanced Fractional Technology for Dramatic Results
CO2 laser resurfacing uses advanced fractional carbon dioxide laser technology to create precise microscopic treatment zones in the skin, stimulating your body's natural healing response and collagen production. Unlike traditional laser treatments that affect the entire skin surface, our fractional approach delivers dramatic results with reduced downtime. At Skën, we apply Swedish-inspired precision to laser medicine, ensuring each treatment is customized to your unique skin profile and aesthetic goals. This advanced technology addresses the deeper layers of skin damage that other treatments simply cannot reach.

What Our Clients Say
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about CO2 laser resurfacing treatment, recovery, and results.
How painful is CO2 laser resurfacing?
We apply topical numbing cream before treatment to ensure your comfort. Most clients describe the sensation as similar to a rubber band snapping on the skin. Post-treatment discomfort is typically compared to a sunburn and manageable with our comprehensive aftercare plan.
How long is the downtime after CO2 laser treatment?
Plan for 7-14 days of healing time. The first 3-5 days involve redness and swelling, with gradual improvement. Most clients can return to work with makeup after one week, though individual healing varies.
When will I see my final CO2 laser results?
You'll notice immediate improvement in skin texture, with continued enhancement over 3-6 months as new collagen forms. The most dramatic results are visible at 3 months, with ongoing improvements for up to a year.
How much does CO2 laser resurfacing cost?
Treatment cost varies based on the size of the area treated and your specific needs. We provide detailed pricing during your consultation and offer financing options to make treatment accessible.
Am I a good candidate for CO2 laser treatment?
Ideal candidates have realistic expectations, significant skin concerns like deep wrinkles or scarring, and can commit to proper aftercare. We'll evaluate your skin type and medical history during consultation to ensure this treatment is right for you.
Can CO2 laser be combined with other treatments?
Yes, we often combine CO2 laser with PRP/PRF therapy to enhance healing and results. The timing and sequencing of combination treatments is carefully planned based on your individual needs and goals.
How long do CO2 laser results last?
Results typically last 5-10 years, though individual factors like sun exposure, genetics, and skincare routine affect longevity. Many clients choose maintenance treatments or complementary procedures to extend their results.
What should I avoid before CO2 laser treatment?
Avoid sun exposure, tanning, retinoids, and certain medications for 2-4 weeks before treatment. We'll provide a comprehensive pre-treatment checklist during your consultation to ensure optimal results and safety.
