What to Expect (Consultation to Recovery)
Step 1 — Consultation + Candidacy
We review your goals, medical history, skin type, and any history of pigmentation issues or cold sores. If CO2 isn’t the safest fit, we’ll recommend alternatives.
Step 2 — Treatment Plan + Depth Selection
We choose the right intensity for your goals and downtime comfort and review a clear recovery plan.
Step 3 —Comfort + Treatment
Topical numbing and comfort measures are used. Treatment time varies by area. If stronger comfort measures are planned, arrange a ride home.
Step 4 — Aftercare + check-ins
You’ll receive structured aftercare instructions and guidance on cleansing, ointment/moisture support, and sun protection.
Recovery Timeline (Typical, but Varies)
Days 1–3: redness, swelling, and a “sunburn” feeling are common (varies)
Days 3–7: dryness, flaking, and peeling as new skin forms (varies)
Days 7–14: many people feel more comfortable in public; skin is still sensitive (varies)
Weeks after: pink/red tone can linger; tone/texture continues improving (varies)
Months after: collagen remodeling can continue for additional refinement (varies)
If you have a major event, plan conservatively and schedule well in advance.

Avoid heat exposure and heavy sweating if instructed
Avoid makeup until your provider clears you (timing varies)

Safety Notes (Important)
CO2 resurfacing is effective, but it’s not a “no-risk” treatment. Risks can include infection, cold sore flare-ups, prolonged redness, pigment changes (darkening or lightening), and—rarely—scarring. A thorough consult, proper settings, and strict aftercare reduce risk.
If you experience severe pain, blistering, pus-like drainage, fever, unusual color changes, or concerning symptoms, contact the office immediately or seek urgent medical care.
