CO2 Laser Resurfacing Q & A
What is CO2 laser resurfacing?
CO2 laser resurfacing uses a cutting-edge carbon dioxide laser to precisely remove damaged skin layers without damaging the surrounding tissues. It can eliminate an array of skin concerns that are hallmark signs of aging, revitalizing your skin with a healthy glow. CO2 lasers use short-pulsed light energy or continuous light beams to stimulate new cell growth.
Transform Austin Med Spa is the only spa in Austin to offer innovative Helix CO2 laser resurfacing.
Which skin concerns can CO2 laser resurfacing treat?

- Scarring

- Birthmarks
- Warts
- Photodamage
- Enlarged oil glands
Laser technology can help treat both non-cancerous and cancerous skin conditions.
Am I a candidate for CO2 laser resurfacing?
To determine the aesthetic treatments that will best help you achieve your goals, an expert at Transform Austin Med Spa discusses your desired results, reviews your medical history, and examines your skin.
The practice also offers chemical peels, microdermabrasion, Botox®, dermal fillers, and more to achieve results. You might be a candidate for more than one treatment.
What happens during CO2 laser resurfacing?
Before the procedure, your provider numbs the area and offers a sedative to help you relax. They direct intense light energy beams at targeted tissues to destroy outer skin layers and heat underlying tissues to boost collagen production and smooth the treatment area. Laser resurfacing often lasts 30 minutes to two hours, depending on the size of the areas treated.
What should I expect after CO2 laser resurfacing?
After the procedure, your skin may be temporarily itchy, red, swollen, or scabbed. Your provider applies an ointment and a non-stick dressing.
Ice the treated tissues, take a pain reliever as directed, and keep the treatment areas clean. Avoid using cosmetics or other products that irritate your skin during healing, and always protect your skin from the sun.
Full healing may take several weeks, and any redness might last a few months. Your provider lets you know when it’s okay to begin wearing makeup or use other skincare products.
