Advanced Skin Resurfacing with CO2 Laser Technology
CO2 laser treatment is an advanced ablative skin resurfacing procedure designed to improve skin tone, texture, and overall appearance. By using a concentrated beam of carbon dioxide light that is highly absorbed by water in the skin, the CO2 laser precisely removes damaged outer skin layers while stimulating deep collagen regeneration.
