Benefits of CO2 Laser Resurfacing
Customizable
CO2 laser resurfacing is precisely adjusted to address individual skin concerns. This ablative laser skin treatment can be tailored in depth, allowing a focused approach that feels intentional and calm.
Safe and Effective
CO2 laser resurfacing is a revolutionary treatment because it can reach deeper than other treatments while causing minimal discomfort.
Long-Lasting
Once you’ve finished your resurfacing treatments, you can enjoy the full results for up to a year! After that, you’ll only need maintenance treatments as needed.
How It Works
The earliest forms of laser resurfacing were highly effective but caused significant skin damage.
After undergoing traditional laser resurfacing, individuals faced significant downtime and discomfort before their new complexion emerged. Pixel Perfect CO2 laser resurfacing in Fort Collins, CO, creates thousands of microscopic perforations while leaving the surrounding tissue intact. This allows for very rapid healing and shortens your treatment time without sacrificing its benefits.

What to Expect
When you arrive at your appointment, we’ll clean your face and apply a topical anesthetic to ensure you’re completely comfortable during your laser treatment. Your appointment could take up to 2 hours, depending on the concern you wish to address and the severity of your issues. After your treatment, your provider will give you aftercare instructions.

Pre-Treatment Instructions
To ensure your appointment goes smoothly, follow these pre-care instructions.
Stop These Medications
Stop taking monocycline, doxycycline, and other medications that cause photosensitivity 3 days before your appointment.
Sun Awareness
Avoid tanning beds and self-tanning products in the weeks leading up to laser resurfacing for acne scars or other concerns. SPF 30 or higher sunscreen is recommended when spending time outdoors.
Antiviral Support
If you have a history of shingles or herpes, we ask that you take antiviral medication 2 days before your appointment to prevent a breakout.
Post-Treatment Instructions
These instructions will hasten the healing process after your CO2 laser resurfacing in Fort Collins.
Gentle Care
After your ablative laser skin treatment, you may be asked to wait before showering and to follow specific cleansing and moisturizing steps. These instructions are designed to support the skin as it recovers.
Hands Off Approach
Try to avoid touching the treated area as it heals. If needed, cool compresses and over-the-counter options can be discussed to help with temporary discomfort after deep skin resurfacing.
Allow Time to Rest
Taking time to rest after laser resurfacing for acne scars or other texture concerns can support a smoother recovery. Light activity is usually preferred for a few days, allowing your skin to recover at a steady pace in the calm rhythm that reflects life in Fort Collins.
