CO2 Laser in Abbotsford
Fractional CO2 laser resurfacing for Abbotsford clients. Treats deep wrinkles, acne scars and sun damage, often in one session.
Our fractional CO2 laser resurfacing treats deep wrinkles, long-standing acne scars and sun damage that milder treatments can’t fully reach. It removes thin layers of damaged skin and heats the layer beneath to rebuild collagen, so many people see a significant change from a single session.
Our Fractional CO2 Laser Treatment
The laser treats thousands of tiny columns of skin and leaves healthy skin between them, which helps you heal faster than older full-surface CO2 lasers. As the treated skin peels away, smoother new skin replaces it, and collagen keeps rebuilding for months.
CO2 Laser Resurfacing in Abbotsford: What We Treat
- Deep wrinkles around the mouth, eyes and forehead
- Long-standing acne scars
- Sun damage and uneven texture
- Enlarged pores with textural irregularities
- Early to moderate crepey, loose skin
CO2 Laser Recovery
- During treatment: numbing cream is applied first. Most people describe heat and pressure rather than sharp pain. Sessions take 30 to 60 minutes.
- Days 1 to 10: redness, swelling and peeling. Most people plan about a week at home.
- Weeks 1 to 2: new skin shows as peeling finishes.
- Months 2 to 3 and beyond: texture and tone keep improving as collagen rebuilds. Mild pinkness can last for weeks after the skin has healed.
Some concerns need a second session several months later.
CO2 Laser and Darker Skin
CO2 laser needs more caution on medium and deeper skin tones, because of a higher risk of healing with darker pigmentation. About 30% of Abbotsford residents are South Asian (2021 Census), so this matters for many of our clients. After assessing your skin, we may recommend Morpheus8 or XERF instead, both of which carry lower pigment risk.
