CO2 Laser Resurfacing New Jersey

CO₂ laser resurfacing is a skin treatment that uses a fractional carbon dioxide laser to remove layers of skin in a precise, fractionated method. The treatment works by targeting small columns of skin while preserving the surrounding tissue, which helps speed up the healing process and reduces recovery time.

This technique effectively reduces age spots, fine lines, wrinkles, scarring, uneven skin tone, and skin laxity, especially on the face, neck, and chest. It also stimulates collagen production, helping to improve skin texture and restore a youthful appearance.

Typically, one laser treatment with Fractional Laser Resurfacing is recommended. Occasionally, in an area that cannot be treated aggressively, we may need to do more than one treatment to optimize results. Ongoing maintenance treatments could be needed to preserve results, particularly if sun exposure isn’t minimized or proper skincare is not consistently followed.

To speed up healing after laser treatment, it’s essential to keep the skin moisturized, use a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily, and avoid direct sun exposure. Follow Dr. El-Attar’s instructions, and avoid scratching or peeling the skin to prevent further irritation. Gentle skincare and staying hydrated will also support the healing process.

At Derma Laser Center, our CO2 laser resurfacing costs $2,750.

Anyone who has sun damaged, aging skin, irregularly pigmented skin, wrinkles, sagging, irregular texture of the skin or other skin condition that could be expected to be improved with this treatment that understands the risks, costs and time necessary to achieve the full benefit of the procedure and who has realistic expectations of the ultimate outcome.

After a laser treatment, the skin typically heals within 7-14 days for most people, depending on the depth of the treatment. You may experience some redness, swelling, and peeling during the first few days, but the skin generally continues to improve over the next 2-4 weeks as it fully regenerates.

CO₂ laser treatment can be combined with other procedures, but we avoid treating the same areas on the same day. Commonly paired treatments include wrinkle relaxers like Botox to smooth out muscle-related wrinkles and dermal fillers to add volume in areas like the cheeks, lips, and under the eyes.

CO2 laser resurfacing results can last several years if you follow a proper skincare routine and protect your skin from the sun. Many patients in New Jersey choose this treatment for its long-term benefits, especially for reducing fine lines and improving overall texture. Regular maintenance treatments and professional guidance from experts in laser treatment for skin in New Jersey can help extend the results.

The best treatment depends on the severity of the damage and your skin type. CO2 laser in New Jersey is one of the most popular options because it can target deep sun damage, improve uneven tone, and smooth out rough texture. Your provider might also recommend a combination of resurfacing and non-ablative treatments for the best outcome. A consultation with an experienced laser specialist will determine the most effective plan for your skin.

Most patients see initial healing within 7 to 10 days, but full recovery can take up to 4 weeks, depending on the treatment depth and the area being treated. For delicate areas such as CO2 laser resurfacing for undereyes, cost and recovery time may vary. Book a one-on-one consultation with Dr. El-Attar today!
