CO2RE Laser Skin Resurfacing Explained
How Does CO2RE Work?
CO2RE laser resurfacing uses heat to vaporize damaged tissue, which tightens and refreshes your skin. The laser penetrates no deeper than half the thickness of a human hair, triggering your skin’s natural healing process. It removes old, damaged layers while stimulating collagen production—the key to firm, youthful-looking skin.
What Can I Expect from Treatment?
You can target specific areas like the eyes or mouth or go for a full-face treatment. Depending on the area to be treated, the procedure can take about 45 minutes to 1.5 hours. We use topical and local anesthesia like lidocaine to keep you comfortable. Healing time is typically 7-14 days.
How Soon Can I See the Results?
CO2RE works like a deep peel, removing the top layer of your skin. After the treatment, you should expect a wound similar to a severe burn which needs 10-14 days to heal. Your skin will stay pink for a few weeks.
After the Treatment, You Should:
- Avoid direct sunlight for a few weeks.
- Keep your face covered if you are going out.
- Cover the pink skin with makeup only two weeks after the treatment.
- Use ointments like Aquaphor to keep your skin hydrated.
The procedure is minimally invasive, which means you can return to work or your normal routine within one week after the treatment.
CO2RE laser resurfacing has been perfected for reversing sun damage, smoothing wrinkles, and restoring healthy skin. It's a sought-after skin care and wrinkle treatment for those who love staying out in the sun.

How It Works
Consultation
We start with a one-on-one consultation to understand your skin concerns and goals. After examining your skin thoroughly, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan and walk you through the process so you feel confident.
Treatment
To keep you comfortable, we apply a local anesthetic like lidocaine first. The CO2RE laser precisely removes damaged skin layers while boosting collagen production. The procedure takes 45-90 minutes, depending on the treatment area.
Recovery
Expect some redness and peeling for about 7-14 days. Your skin will gradually tighten and improve over the next few weeks. Makeup can be worn after two weeks, and we’ll schedule follow-ups to ensure the best results.
Frequently Asked Questions
How Long Does It Take to See Results?
You’ll start noticing smoother, tighter skin within 2-3 weeks, but full results might take around 3-6 months to appear as collagen continues to rebuild.
How long is the downtime after CO2RE treatment?
Expect 7-14 days of recovery, with redness and peeling similar to a deep peel. You can return to your normal routine within a week and wear makeup after two weeks.
Is CO2RE laser resurfacing painful?
We apply a local anesthetic like lidocaine before the treatment. You may feel mild heat or a tingling sensation during the procedure, but most patients find it tolerable.
How many treatments do I need?
Many patients see good results after just one session. But you may need more sessions to remove deeper wrinkles or scars.
How do I take care of my skin after the procedure?
Keep your skin hydrated with our recommended aftercare products , avoid sun exposure, and follow all post-care instructions. We recommend a high-SPF sunscreen once healing begins to protect your results.
Can I Combine It with Other Treatments?
It’s safe to combine CO2RE laser with other cosmetic treatments. Feel free to discuss your goals with our experts during your consultation.

The absolute best!! I feel totally comfortable and myself! They bring out the best of me!
Came to see my most favorite person, Dr. Nadel, and staff today! I started coming to see Dr. Nadel in 2022. She helped me immensely with my lips, which had been filled incorrectly for a long, long time! I come to her, only, because she is a wealth of knowledge and her bedside manner is spectacular! One of the nicest and most honest people I have ever met! Her staff is also incredible - so friendly and professional. Always go above and beyond to help. You won’t go wrong coming to see them. You will be thrilled! ❤️
I had an amazing experience at Totality Med Spa! I received Botox and filler from Sarah, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. She made me feel so comfortable, and the results look incredibly natural—exactly what I was hoping for. The entire team was so sweet and professional, and the atmosphere of the spa was warm and welcoming. Highly recommend Totality Med Spa for anyone looking for top-notch care and beautiful results!
