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 quality care, tailored to your skin, supporting long term improvement.

CO₂ laser resurfacing creates controlled thermal injury to support 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- which may help support the skin's healing process, tissue quality, and regenerative response during recovery.
Exosomes are used to enhance cellular communication after laser resurfacing. PDRN is used to help support tissue regeneration, skin resilience, and 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.
