[Call 801-437-7701](tel:+18014377701)[Request Appointment](/contact) 4.9 Stars · 436+ Reviews Board-Certified Surgeons Same-Day Consultations ## How CO2 Laser Resurfacing Works CO₂ laser technology delivers precise, controlled energy to the skin's surface, removing damaged outer layers while stimulating deep collagen production. As the skin heals, new collagen forms, resulting in smoother, firmer, and more youthful-appearing skin. The treatment can be customized in intensity from light resurfacing to deeper rejuvenation depending on skin type and treatment goals. ## What CO2 Laser Treats CO₂ laser skin resurfacing is effective for treating fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, acne scars, uneven pigmentation, and rough skin texture. Additionally, pre-cancer cells within the skin can be destroyed with CO2 treatment, making it both a cosmetic and preventive procedure. Results develop gradually as the skin heals, revealing smoother, firmer, and more youthful-appearing skin. Have Questions? Our team is happy to answer any questions and help you understand your options. [801-437-7701](tel:+18014377701) ## The Treatment Experience Topical numbing cream is applied before the procedure to ensure comfort. During treatment, the CO2 laser is precisely applied to the treatment area. Immediately following treatment, redness and pin-point bleeding are typical and expected. Over the following days and weeks, the skin heals and regenerates, revealing progressively improved texture and tone. ## Recovery & Results Timeline Recovery from CO2 laser resurfacing varies based on treatment depth. Most patients experience redness and peeling for 5-10 days. By 2 weeks, most patients see significant improvement in skin quality with continued improvement over the following months as collagen remodeling continues. A proper post-treatment skincare regimen is essential for optimal results. ## Your Consultation During your consultation, Dr. Sloan will evaluate your skin type, discuss your concerns and goals, and recommend the appropriate treatment depth. He will explain what to expect during and after the procedure and develop a personalized treatment plan. ## Why Choose Riverwoods?

Initial healing takes about 5-10 days with redness and peeling. Most patients look presentable with makeup by 2 weeks. Full results develop over 2-6 months as collagen remodeling continues. Is CO2 laser resurfacing painful? Topical numbing cream is applied before the procedure to ensure comfort. Most patients describe the sensation as a warm tingling. Post-procedure discomfort is generally mild and manageable. How many treatments do I need? Many patients achieve excellent results with a single treatment. However, depending on your skin concerns and goals, additional treatments may be recommended for optimal results. Who is a good candidate for CO2 laser? Good candidates have fair to medium skin tones and concerns about wrinkles, sun damage, acne scars, or uneven skin texture. Dr. Sloan will evaluate your skin type during consultation to determine if CO2 laser is right for you. Can CO2 laser be combined with other procedures? Yes. CO2 laser resurfacing is commonly combined with blepharoplasty, facelift, or other facial procedures to enhance overall results and address multiple concerns in a single treatment session. ### Schedule a Consultation We respond within 1 business day Service of Interest Wisdom Teeth Removal Dental Implants Bone Grafting Corrective Jaw Surgery Facial Trauma / Reconstruction Sleep Apnea Surgery TMJ Disorders Facial Cosmetic Surgery Rhinoplasty Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery) Face & Neck Lift Other / Not Sure Request Appointment or [Call 801-437-7701](tel:+18014377701) By submitting, you agree to be contacted regarding your request. ### Related Services - [Facial Cosmetic Surgery](/facial-cosmetic-surgery) - [Blepharoplasty](/blepharoplasty) - [Face & Neck Lift](/face-neck-lift) - [Brow Lift](/brow-lift) - [Before & After Results](/results) Ready to Get Started? ## Schedule Your Consultation Today Riverwoods Oral Surgery serves Provo, Orem, Pleasant Grove, and Springville.
