What is CO2 Laser Resurfacing?
CO2 laser skin resurfacing uses a carbon dioxide (CO2) ablative laser to gently remove damaged outer layers of skin. This starts your skin’s natural renewal process and encourages new collagen, which helps keep skin smooth and firm.
As your skin heals, fine lines and wrinkles can appear softer, rough texture can become smoother, sun damage and discoloration can look more even, and skin can appear firmer and refreshed.
At Urbane Beauty Co., each treatment is personalized to your skin, concerns, and goals by our highly trained CO2 laser professionals.

Whether you want to soften visible lines, refine pores and acne scars, smooth uneven texture, or improve the appearance of sun damage and discoloration, your treatment plan is thoughtfully customized to reveal smoother, firmer, more refined-looking skin.
Frequently Asked Questions About CO2 Laser Resurfacing
After CO2 laser treatment, it usually takes about 1 to 2 weeks for your skin to recover. Your skin will be very sensitive during this time. Your nurse will give you detailed guidelines to help your skin heal up best.
With good skin care (sunscreens, skin-care products, moderation in sun-exposure, etc.) improvement will last for years. Remember: the clock starts again after your procedure – do your best to take good care of your skin and preserve your improvement!
Although some patients report discomfort during treatments, this discomfort is still mild enough that only topical prescription numbing cream is required. No “knockout” anesthesia is needed, and patients are awake for the session.
Any part of the face, jawline, and neck can be resurfaced. Most patients want full face, peri-oral (around the mouth), or peri-orbital (around the eyes) resurfacing; or specific treatment of traumatic or acne scars.
Immediately following the surgery, your nurse will apply an ointment to your skin. Some swelling and “crusting” of the skin is expected and normal. Ointments will keep skin supple and will be applied for ten days following the surgery. The redness of the new skin that persists after the initial healing phase will usually fade in about 4 to 6 weeks. Avoidance of direct sun and extremes in temperature or any activities that would cause stress to the healing skin should be avoided. It is imperative that you follow the post-procedure-care instructions.
