Smoother, Younger-Looking Skin

What is CO2 laser?

CO2 laser is an advanced skin resurfacing treatment that uses fractional laser technology to target and remove damaged skin layers. By creating controlled micro-injuries, our CO2 laser stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin, promoting smoother, tighter, and healthier skin.

This treatment addresses various skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, uneven texture, and pigmentation. It’s a popular choice for those seeking significant rejuvenation without the need for invasive surgery.

Transformative Skin Rejuvenation

What is the CO2 laser procedure like?

During your CO2 laser session, Dr. Segura cleans the skin and applies a topical numbing cream for comfort. The laser device then delivers precise, controlled energy to the treatment area. This process removes damaged skin cells and stimulates collagen production, improving skin texture and tone.

The procedure typically takes 30–60 minutes, depending on the size and condition of the area being treated. While you may experience some warmth or tingling during the session, most patients find the process comfortable and tolerable.
