What is SmartLase CO2 Laser Resurfacing?

SmartLase CO2 is a fractional CO2 laser treatment that gently removes the outermost layers of damaged skin while simultaneously stimulating the deeper dermis to produce new collagen. This dual action results in smoother, firmer, and more evenly toned skin. By targeting both superficial and deep layers, SmartLase effectively rejuvenates the skin with precision and minimal downtime.

What to Expect During SmartLase CO2 Laser Resurfacing

Your SmartLase CO2 treatment will begin with a thorough consultation and skin analysis with Dr. Hovsepian. On the day of your procedure, a topical anesthetic will be applied to maximize comfort. The laser is then precisely guided over the targeted areas, resurfacing the skin and initiating the healing response. Depending on the size and number of areas being treated, the procedure typically takes 30 to 90 minutes.

Recovery and Results

You can expect some redness, swelling, and flaking for several days following your treatment, which is part of the skin’s natural renewal process. Most patients resume normal activities within one week. As collagen continues to rebuild in the weeks following your session, your skin will become noticeably smoother, tighter, and more radiant. Final results appear gradually and can last for years with proper skincare.

SmartLase CO2 Laser Resurfacing FAQs

Can SmartLase CO2 be used on darker skin tones?

It is generally advised to avoid direct sun exposure for at least 4 to 6 weeks post-treatment and to use strong sun protection daily to preserve results and prevent pigmentation.
