HOW CO2 LASER WORKS

Fractional Micro-Ablation

The CO2 laser creates microscopic columns of controlled thermal injury in the skin. These micro-injuries remove damaged cells while leaving surrounding tissue intact, which speeds up healing.

Vaporization of Damaged Skin Layers

The laser precisely vaporizes rough, aged, or scarred skin on the surface. As the outer layer sheds, new regenerated skin replaces it, resulting in a smoother and more even complexion.

Deep Collagen Remodeling

Heat penetrates the dermis, stimulating collagen and elastin production. Over time, the skin becomes tighter, firmer, and more lifted, improving wrinkles and texture concerns.

Controlled Depth Customization

The provider adjusts intensity based on the concern — gentle for mild texture, deeper for scars and wrinkles, allowing personalized outcomes with predictable recovery timelines.

BENEFITS OF CO2 LASER

Dramatic Texture Improvement

CO2 laser is one of the most effective treatments for smoothing acne scars, lines, and rough texture. It promotes significant resurfacing and rejuvenation.

Reduction of Pigmentation & Sun Damage

It reduces brown spots, UV damage, and crepey skin caused by years of sun exposure.

Skin Tightening & Collagen Boost

The heat from the laser stimulates deep dermal collagen production, resulting in improved firmness and reduction in fine to moderate wrinkles.

Long-Lasting Rejuvenation

Once healing completes, results can last years with proper skincare and sunscreen use.

Dr. Le is super knowledgeable and talented. It makes a huge difference to have a physician with ample dermatology, anatomy and surgery knowledge, perform a procedure like this one. Why would anybody have an aesthetician do this or any cosmetic procedure if you can have an experienced medical professional? I’ve done lasers before, but this was by far the best. My skin looks amazing.

I had a positive experience and highly recommend Dr. Le. I found him to be quite professional and a pleasant man. Upon arriving, I was put under a local anesthetic … I have circled it in my “after” photo. As you can see, I had no swelling, minimal bruising and no real discomfort to speak of. I did not require anything for pain.

Kennin was amazing! She really takes pride in her work. The entire staff was very friendly. A great clinic. Go!!!

Dr Le is very knowledgeable. He gave me the advice I need to achieve the goals I want. I look forward to coming back. The nurse was very sweet!
