CO2 laser resurfacing and chemical peels are effective treatments for reducing hyperpigmentation, improving skin texture, and addressing signs of aging.

While CO2 laser resurfacing is ideal for lighter skin tones, chemical peels offer excellent alternatives for patients with darker skin.

Key Benefits:
  • Reduces pigmentation and improves skin tone.
  • Smooths skin texture and minimizes fine lines.
  • Enhances overall skin vibrancy and youthfulness.
Treatment Overview:

Fractional CO2 laser resurfacing is an excellent option for reducing sun damage, tightening skin, and minimizing fine lines. It is best suited for lighter skin tones. The procedure requires 5–7 days of social downtime, and results improve over weeks. Patients with darker skin types are better candidates for treatments like chemical peels or microneedling, which also address pigmentation and texture concerns. Strict sun protection is essential for maintaining long-term results.
