CO2 Laser Treatment Before & After

Why CO2 Laser Is the Gold Standard for Skin Resurfacing

CO2 laser resurfacing works by delivering concentrated light energy that is absorbed by water in skin cells, precisely vaporizing the damaged outer layers while simultaneously heating the dermis to stimulate new collagen production. Modern fractional CO2 technology has dramatically improved the safety profile and recovery time compared to older fully ablative techniques, while maintaining the powerful results that made CO2 the gold standard for skin rejuvenation.

The treatment produces real, structural improvements to the skin — not just surface changes. New collagen production continues for months after treatment, with results that improve progressively and last for years with proper sun protection and skincare.

Skin Concerns Treated With CO2 Laser at BHSkin Glendale

Deep facial wrinkles — forehead lines, perioral wrinkles, and crow’s feet unresponsive to Botox alone

Acne scars — particularly boxcar and rolling scar types that require dermis-level remodeling

Severe sun damage and photoaging on the face, neck, and chest

Skin laxity and crepey texture

Actinic keratoses — precancerous lesions cleared as part of resurfacing

Enlarged pores and sebaceous hyperplasia

Surgical, traumatic, or burn scars

Overall skin quality improvement for patients with advanced photoaging

Dr. Mehrabi uses CO2 laser resurfacing for patients with significant skin concerns that require more than surface-level treatment:

Frequently Asked Questions

Ideal candidates for CO2 laser resurfacing are patients with Fitzpatrick skin types I–III (fair to medium skin), significant sun damage, wrinkles, or acne scarring, who are willing to commit to the recovery period and follow post-treatment care instructions carefully. Patients with darker skin tones, active inflammatory skin conditions, or unrealistic expectations about recovery may not be ideal candidates. Dr. Mehrabi will provide an honest assessment at consultation.
Yes. CO2 laser resurfacing is frequently combined with Botox (administered several weeks before or after, not simultaneously) and dermal fillers (typically performed months before resurfacing). For comprehensive facial rejuvenation, a treatment plan may include CO2 for surface quality, Botox for dynamic wrinkles, and fillers for volume loss — addressing all three components of facial aging.
Traditional ablative CO2 laser treats the entire surface uniformly, producing dramatic results but requiring weeks of recovery and carrying higher complication risk. Fractional CO2 treats a grid of microscopic columns while leaving intervening skin intact, allowing much faster healing while still delivering significant collagen stimulation and surface improvement. BHSkin uses fractional CO2 technology for the best balance of results and safety.
CO2 laser resurfacing is priced based on the area(s) treated and the extent of treatment required. Dr. Mehrabi will provide a detailed cost estimate at your consultation. As a medical procedure performed by a physician, CO2 laser at BHSkin reflects the level of expertise and equipment involved. Financing options may be available.
