The ablative CO2 laser is absorbed by your tissues regardless of pigmentation or vein condition because its target of interaction is water. The depth of penetration is a function of its wavelength and can be customized to the problem being treated by changing energy; the number of passes and by using super pulsed or ultra-pulsed technology.

Ablative lasers are the very first lasers used in cosmetic laser dermatology. The ablative CO 2or Erbium YAG laser beam energy is absorbed by your tissues regardless of pigmentation or vein condition because its target of interaction is water. The depth of penetration is a function of its wavelength and can be customized to the problem being treated by changing energy; the number of passes and by using super pulsed or ultra-pulsed technology.

Vaporizing your top layer of skin removes all damage to it while heating the deeper layer to stimulate collagen production resulting in a smoother, cleared and firmer skin.* This procedure is indicated for advanced skin damage with fine and deep wrinkling, discolorations, and sagging. The procedure requires about 7–10 days recovery time but the rewards are worth it.

For the aggressive correction with the CO2 resurfacing laser the one time cost range from $1200–$3200 depending on the size of the area treated. In this case you will be able to return to work in 1–2 weeks.
