CO2 Laser Resurfacing
A deeper refresh for tone and texture.
Smooth the look of facial wrinkles, acne scars and sun-related changes with CO2 laser resurfacing. This more intensive treatment pairs skin renewal with a carefully planned recovery.
Book NowFresh skin at the surface. New support beneath.
CO2 laser treatment removes layers of surface skin and encourages collagen renewal underneath. As your skin heals, wrinkles and some scars can look smoother.

Resurface the skin
After skin preparation and comfort measures, your provider treats the planned area with the CO2 laser.

Heal, then see the renewal

IMPORTANT TREATMENT INFORMATION
Read about recovery, side effects and who should avoid treatment in the questions below. We’ll also talk through these details before your appointment.
What can CO2 resurfacing improve?
It can soften facial wrinkles, improve some acne-scar texture and address sun-related surface changes. Your skin type, history and goals help determine whether it is the right treatment. CO2 and Erbium are different laser technologies.
How much recovery time should I allow?
Recovery depends on the area and depth of treatment. Expect a visible healing period and follow your aftercare closely. XO will explain the likely timeline before you book.
Is IPL a lighter version of CO2?
No. IPL is a different light-based technology with different uses and recovery considerations. Compare the actual procedures rather than treating them as levels of one service.
Can I book before a special event?
Tell us your date first. CO2 resurfacing needs time for healing, and redness can last beyond the first recovery stage. We’ll help you decide whether the timing makes sense.
How do light, medium and deep options differ?
These are the treatment levels listed in XO’s menu. The team will explain what each means for the procedure, area and recovery before recommending one. A deeper option is not automatically the best choice for your skin.
Who should avoid treatment, and what are the risks?
Laser resurfacing can involve pain, swelling, redness, pigment changes, infection, burns, scarring and other complications. Recovery depends on the specific procedure and your skin. Discuss skin tone, scarring history, cold sores, medicines and relevant health conditions. Obtain a clear aftercare and follow-up plan before proceeding.
