CO₂ Laser Resurfacing

CO₂ Laser Resurfacing

true correction, not just maintenance

Ablative CO₂ Laser Resurfacing

Ablative CO₂ laser resurfacing is one of the most advanced treatments available for improving deep wrinkles, acne scars, and significant skin damage. Patients seeking less aggressive treatment options may also consider Tetra Pro CoolPeel®, RF Microneedling, or Chemical Peels.

What Is Ablative CO₂ Laser Skin Resurfacing?

Ablative CO₂ laser skin resurfacing works by removing the outer layers of damaged skin while delivering controlled heat into deeper layers to stimulate collagen production.

This dual action allows for:

  • Significant skin resurfacing

  • Deep wrinkle reduction

  • Improved skin firmness and elasticity

  • Long-term collagen remodeling

What to Expect During Your Treatment:

  • Treatment time: 60–90 minutes depending on area

  • Numbing applied for comfort

  • Downtime: typically 7–14 days of redness and healing

  • Skin will peel and renew over several days

  • Results continue improving over weeks to months as collagen builds

Is Ablative CO₂ Laser Right for Your Skin?

Ablative CO₂ laser resurfacing is designed for deeper correction—targeting advanced skin concerns and restoring smoother, healthier-looking skin.

Areas Ablative CO₂ Laser Treat

Ablative CO₂ can be customized for multiple areas:

  • Face: Improve overall skin texture, reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and visible signs of aging.

  • Neck: Tighten and smooth sagging skin for a more youthful, contoured appearance.

  • Décolletage: Minimize sun damage, hyperpigmentation, and fine lines on the delicate chest area.

  • Hands: Rejuvenate the hands by addressing age spots, discoloration, and skin laxity.

  • Abdomen: Enhance skin tone and texture, particularly for stretch marks or post-pregnancy.

  • Acne Scars: Reduce the appearance of acne scars, surgical scars, or other skin irregularities on the body or face.

Who is the Ablative CO₂ Laser For?

Want significant improvement in wrinkles or skin texture and have not achieved desired results with Facials & Skin Treatments, Chemical Peels, or less aggressive resurfacing procedures.

Then this treatment is ideal if you:

  • Want significant improvement in wrinkles or skin texture

  • Have acne scars or advanced sun damage

  • Are looking for a more aggressive, long-lasting solution

  • Are willing to have downtime for more dramatic result

Why Choose Ablative CO₂ Laser?

Unlike lighter treatments that require ongoing maintenance, ablative CO₂ offers:

  • More dramatic, visible improvement

  • Long-lasting results

  • Fewer treatments needed

  • Full skin renewal rather than surface refresh

 

Depending on their goals, many patients combine ablative CO₂ laser resurfacing with Botox & Xeomin, Radiesse Biostimulator, Medical Grade Skin Care, and RF Microneedling to address wrinkles, improve skin firmness, stimulate collagen production, and maintain long-term skin health and rejuvenation.

What’s the Difference Between Ablative CO₂ & CoolPeel?

Both Ablative CO₂ and CoolPeel® utilize the same advanced laser technology—but the depth of treatment and results are very different.

CoolPeel®

CoolPeel® is ideal for those wanting gentle resurfacing with little to no downtime and progressive skin improvement

  • Light, controlled resurfacing

  • Minimal to no downtime

  • Gradual, subtle skin improvement

  • Ideal for maintenance and early signs of aging

Ablative CO₂

Ablative CO₂ is designed for more advanced correction, delivering deeper resurfacing and more significant, long-lasting results

  • Deep, intensive resurfacing

  • More downtime, but significantly more correction

  • Targets wrinkles, texture, and sun damage

  • Best for advanced skin rejuvenation and transformation

I’m not one to usually leave reviews but this place has helped me a lot lately. My wife bought me a wellness membership here, and I laughed thinking why at a women’s medspa? But I was wrong, and I’m glad I was.. don’t tell my wife I admitted to being wrong, she’ll run with that LOL anyways, this place has so much to offer, I have a membership for their cryotherapy chamber, red light bed and vitamin IVs. If you’ve never been in a cryotherapy chamber, then you need to give it a whirl! I also came in for a post work out IV, and they had me feeling ready to show up to the Arnold (lol). Anyways, what I’m trying to say is these places are just for women, they are for us men too, thanks Revive!

This is my favorite little health sanctuary! The outside might look small, but the inside is full of everything you’ll ever need for health and beauty. I see Maggie for my weight loss journey and it has been the best experience of my life, it’s not like going to any doctor, it feels like you’re part of the family from start to finish! They also have IV therapy and I got a brain boost solution last week and I have never felt better!! If you’re looking for a personal approach to your health and wellness, I couldn’t recommend this place enough! The entire staff is amazing!!!

I have been going to Revive for several months specifically for red light therapy. I have arthritis and have found the red light therapy to lessen inflammation and discomfort. After taking off for several weeks I was convinced that the therapy was working. I am thankful for the relief. Best of all the staff is amazing and friendly!

Every time I'm in Powell, Ohio, I make it a point to visit Revive Wellness & Beauty for a facial with Taylor. She is absolutely amazing! From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is relaxing, welcoming, and the perfect place to unwind. Taylor is knowledgeable, professional, and always leaves my skin looking and feeling incredible. My complexion has never looked better! If you're looking for a place to pamper yourself and get outstanding skincare, I highly recommend Revive Wellness & Beauty—and be sure to book with Taylor. You won't be disappointed!

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Reception
What is the Tetra Pro Aggressive Ablative Fractional Laser?

The Tetra Pro Aggressive Ablative Fractional Laser is a high-intensity skin treatment that uses fractional CO2 laser technology to perform deep skin resurfacing. It targets severe skin concerns such as deep wrinkles, extensive pigmentation, and significant textural issues by delivering intense laser energy to the deeper layers of the skin.

How does the Tetra Pro Aggressive Ablative Fractional Laser work?

This laser treatment works by creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin with fractional CO2 laser energy. These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural healing process, leading to the production of new collagen and elastin. The result is significant skin resurfacing, which helps to smooth out deep wrinkles, improve skin texture, and correct severe pigmentation.

How many sessions are needed to see results?

The number of sessions required varies based on the severity of your skin concerns and desired outcomes. Most clients achieve noticeable results after 1 to 2 sessions of the Tetra Pro Aggressive Ablative Fractional Laser. Treatments are generally spaced several weeks apart to allow for adequate healing and optimal results.

Is the Tetra Pro Aggressive Ablative Fractional Laser safe?

 

Yes, the Tetra Pro Aggressive Ablative Fractional Laser is safe when performed by trained and experienced professionals. It is a well-established treatment with a strong safety profile. However, because it involves more intensive resurfacing, it is important to consult with a skincare specialist to ensure it is appropriate for your specific skin type and condition.

 

What should I expect during and after the treatment?

During the treatment, you may experience a sensation of heat and discomfort as the laser energy is applied. Afterward, expect some redness, swelling, and peeling, which are common and typically resolve within a few days to a week. Due to the aggressive nature of the treatment, there will be a longer recovery period compared to milder options.
