Resurface. Renew. Rebuild Collagen.
CO2 LASER SKIN RESURFACING IN WILLIAMSBURG, VA
CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing
CO₂ laser resurfacing is an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment designed to improvefine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, uneven texture, enlarged pores, acne scars, and overall skin quality.
The treatment uses controlled CO₂ laser energy to create microscopic areas of resurfacing within the skin, removing damaged surface skin while stimulating the natural production and remodeling of collagen.
The result is smoother, firmer, more refined skin with improvements that continue to develop over the weeks and months following treatment.
At AMMA in Williamsburg, Virginia, CO₂ laser treatments are customized to your skin, goals, and desired downtime. Choose from a lighter REFINE treatment series or a more intensive RESURFACE treatment.
You do not need to choose before your appointment. Schedule a skin consultation and will evaluate your skin and recommend the treatment intensity that makes the most sense for your goals.
CO2 REFINE
Series of 3 Lighter Treatments
REFINE is our lighter approach to fractional CO₂ resurfacing. It is designed for patients who want to improve skin quality and stimulate collagen with less downtime than a more intensive resurfacing treatment.
REFINE can help improve:
Fine lines
Enlarged pores
Rough or uneven texture
Mild sun damage
Early signs of aging
Mild acne scarring
Dull or lackluster skin
Overall skin quality
Because REFINE is performed as a series of three treatments, improvements build progressively as the skin renews and collagen remodels.
Expect temporary redness, warmth, dryness, or a rough texture following treatment. Social downtime is minimal; recovery varies based on individual skin response.
Best For: Patients who want gradual skin rejuvenation with a lighter treatment approach and minimal to mild downtime.
CO2 RESURFACE
Single More Intensive Treatment
RESURFACE is our more intensive CO₂ treatment for patients seeking greater correction from a single treatment.
This treatment creates a stronger resurfacing and collagen-remodeling response and may be appropriate for more advanced signs of skin aging or damage.
RESURFACE can help improve:
Moderate to deeper lines and wrinkles
Sun damage
Rough or uneven skin texture
Acne scarring
Enlarged pores
Crepey skin
More noticeable signs of aging
Most patients should plan for approximately 3–7+ days of social downtime following treatment. Redness or pinkness may persist beyond the initial healing period depending on treatment intensity and individual response.
Results continue to develop as new collagen forms and remodels over the following months.
Best for: Patients seeking more significant resurfacing who are comfortable with a longer recovery period.
What Areas Can Be Treated?
CO₂ laser resurfacing is most commonly performed on the face, but additional areas may be treated in appropriately selected patients. Treatment areas include face, neck, décolletage/chest, around the mouth, and around the eyes.
When Will I See Results?
Initial improvement becomes visible as the skin heals, but CO₂ resurfacing continues working beneath the surface. The treatment stimulates a natural wound-healing response and collagen remodeling, so improvements in texture and skin quality may continue to develop for several months. Results vary depending on treatment intensity, skin condition, age, lifestyle, and individual healing response.
A Customized Approach
More aggressive does not automatically mean better. CO₂ laser treatment can be adjusted based on the concern being treated, treatment area, skin characteristics, desired results, and acceptable downtime. Our goal is to use the appropriate level of treatment for your skin, balancing meaningful improvement with recovery and safety.
