Inside CO₂ Laser Resurfacing
…And why you need it!
Press Reset on Your Skin
CO₂ laser resurfacing is one of the most powerful and transformative treatments in medical aesthetics. Using advanced fractional carbon dioxide (CO₂) technology, we precisely remove layers of damaged skin while stimulating the body’s natural healing response. The result? Fresh, radiant new skin with smoother texture, even tone, and renewed firmness.
At HeLa, we’ve recently upgraded to the Lutronic eCO2 Plus™ - a next-generation resurfacing platform that offers enhanced precision, customizable treatment depths, and improved comfort. This advanced technology allows us to deliver dramatic results with more control, making the treatment safer and more effective than ever before.

The Experience
Your journey begins with a consultation and skin-prep regimen, often including medical-grade skincare to prime the skin. During treatment, a topical anesthetic (and sometimes additional numbing methods) is used for comfort. The eCO2 Plus™ laser creates controlled micro-channels in the skin, vaporizing damaged tissue and stimulating deep collagen renewal.
Immediately after, the skin feels warm and appears red, much like a sunburn. Over the next several days, the outer layer will gently peel away, revealing healthier, smoother skin beneath.
Downtime & Recovery
Downtime depends on the depth of your treatment:
Light resurfacing: 5–7 days of redness and peeling
Deeper resurfacing: 10–14 days of healing before skin normalizes
Results continue to build for weeks to months as collagen remodels under the surface.
FAQs
Is CO₂ resurfacing painful?
Thanks to the eCO2 Plus™’s advanced technology and our layered comfort approach (topical numbing, cooling, and post-care), most clients describe the sensation as warm or prickly but tolerable.
How soon will I see results?
Visible improvement begins once the skin heals (about 1–2 weeks), with continued improvements over 3–6 months as collagen rebuilds.
Am I a good candidate?
CO₂ resurfacing with the eCO2 Plus™ is best for clients with fair to medium skin tones seeking advanced rejuvenation. It may not be suitable for higher Fitzpatrick skintypes or those prone to hyperpigmentation, but alternative treatments are available.
How long do results last?
Results can last for years with proper sun protection and a supportive skincare regimen.
