Under the guidance of double board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Jeffrey R. Raval, patients in Cherry Creek and throughout Denver, Colorado, choose fractional CO₂ laser resurfacing to address deeper wrinkles, acne scars, and long-term sun damage.

What Is Fractional CO₂ Laser Resurfacing?

Fractional CO₂ laser resurfacing is an advanced nonsurgical treatment that improves skin quality by creating microscopic columns within the skin. These microinjuries remove damaged skin cells while leaving surrounding tissue intact, supporting faster healing.

As the skin repairs itself, new collagen forms beneath the surface, helping to smooth wrinkles, improve texture, and restore a more refreshed complexion. Because the treatment affects both the surface and deeper layers of the skin, it can address concerns that lighter treatments may not.

Who’s a Good Candidate for CO₂ Laser Skin Resurfacing?

Fractional CO₂ laser resurfacing is well suited for patients who want noticeable skin rejuvenation without surgery. Dr. Raval may also recommend CO₂ laser as part of a deep plane facelift for complementary skin renewal.

Our team uses VISIA® complexion analysis to evaluate your skin and determine whether laser resurfacing—alone or in combination with other surgical and nonsurgical treatments—is best for your aesthetic goals.

What Happens During Fractional CO₂ Laser Treatment?

During the laser treatment, a handheld device delivers controlled laser energy to the skin, creating micro-injuries that stimulate collagen production and skin renewal.

A topical anesthetic is usually applied beforehand to keep you comfortable. One of our skilled aestheticians then glides the device over the treatment area to precisely deliver this energy.

The treatment typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the treatment area.

What To Expect During Fractional CO₂ Laser Recovery

Following treatment, the skin typically appears red and feels sunburned for several days. Swelling and peeling are common as the skin heals, with intensity varying based on the depth of treatment.

Over the following weeks, patients often notice smoother texture, more even tone, and softening of fine lines as collagen continues to rebuild.

How Long Do Results Last?

Results can last for years with proper skin care and sun protection, though periodic maintenance treatments may help preserve long-term improvements.
