CO₂ laser resurfacing is used to rebuild skin quality at a deeper level- stimulating collagen, improving texture, and restoring strength where aging, sun damage, or weight loss have compromised support. At The Injectables Lounge, treatments are planned with anatomy, skin health, and recovery in mind. Whether you’re looking for a meaningful reset or incorporating resurfacing into a broader, long-term care strategy. The focus is safe, effective improvement that supports healthier skin and lasting results.
CO₂ laser resurfacing creates controlled thermal injury to stimulate deep skin renewal and collagen remodeling. When exosomes and PDRN are applied immediately after laser treatment, they help guide and support the skin’s repair process- promoting more efficient healing, improved tissue quality, and a stronger regenerative response during recovery.
Exosomes enhance cellular communication after laser resurfacing, helping direct repair signals, calm inflammation, and support organized collagen rebuilding. PDRN works at the cellular level to encourage tissue regeneration, improve skin resilience, and support recovery in skin that may be thinner, hormonally affected, or slower to heal.
These add-ons are commonly selected by patients seeking enhanced outcomes, improved comfort during recovery, or added regenerative support
.
Use is optional and recommended based on skin condition, treatment goals, and recovery needs.
The CO₂ laser uses fractional energy to remove damaged outer layers of skin while stimulating deep collagen production. The result is smoother, firmer, younger-looking skin.
You’ll be numbed before treatment. Most people describe it as heat with tingling. Expect redness, swelling, and peeling for about 5–7 days. Full healing can take up to 2 weeks depending on intensity.
CO₂ laser is more aggressive and achieves faster, more dramatic results. Microneedling requires multiple sessions but has less downtime. Many patients do both at different stages.
Initial healing takes about a week, with pink skin that continues improving over 2–4 weeks. Makeup can usually be worn after day 7.
Yes—fractional CO₂ lasers can safely target hyperpigmentation by resurfacing the skin and encouraging new, even-toned skin cells.
Yes. Many patients combine CO₂ with Botox or filler for a full-face refresh, or with Morpheus8 for tightening and resurfacing benefits.
