Deep rejuvenation. Dramatic results.
Some skin concerns require more than a surface-level solution. Deep wrinkles, significant sun damage, acne scarring, and advanced skin laxity need a treatment that works below the surface — and CO2 laser resurfacing is the gold standard for delivering exactly that. At Aura Aesthetics & Wellness in Greenville, SC, CO2 laser resurfacing offers the most powerful non-surgical skin renewal available, delivering transformative results that continue to improve for months after a single treatment.
CO2 laser resurfacing uses a carbon dioxide laser to precisely remove damaged outer layers of skin while simultaneously delivering controlled heat energy deep into the dermis. This dual action triggers an intensive collagen remodeling response — new collagen forms, old damaged tissue is removed, and the skin that emerges is noticeably smoother, tighter, and more youthful in quality and appearance.
CO2 is considered the most powerful resurfacing laser available, capable of addressing concerns that lighter treatments simply cannot reach. At Aura Aesthetics & Wellness, we use advanced fractional CO2 technology that delivers results with greater precision and a more manageable recovery than older ablative CO2 systems — giving you the dramatic outcomes of CO2 resurfacing with a more controlled healing process.
CO2 laser resurfacing is one of the most comprehensive skin rejuvenation treatments available. At our Greenville, SC med spa, we use it to address:
It is particularly well suited for clients with moderate to severe skin concerns who want the most significant, long-lasting improvement possible from a non-surgical treatment.
Both CO2 and erbium lasers resurface the skin and stimulate collagen, but they differ significantly in depth, intensity, and recovery. CO2 laser penetrates more deeply and delivers more aggressive tissue removal and collagen stimulation — making it the better choice for deeper wrinkles, significant laxity, and more advanced scarring. The tradeoff is a longer, more involved recovery period.
Erbium laser resurfacing is a more moderate option — highly effective for mild to moderate concerns with a faster, gentler recovery. For many patients, the right answer depends on the severity of their concerns and how much downtime they can accommodate.
During your free consultation at Aura Aesthetics & Wellness, Mandy will evaluate your skin thoroughly and give you an honest recommendation — whether that’s CO2, erbium, or a combination approach — based on your goals and your lifestyle.
Your CO2 laser resurfacing journey at Aura Aesthetics & Wellness begins with a comprehensive consultation and skin assessment. We’ll review your skin concerns, medical history, and lifestyle to confirm CO2 is the right treatment for you and prepare a personalized protocol.
Before treatment: We may recommend a pre-treatment skincare regimen to prepare your skin and optimize results. Depending on your skin tone, pre-treatment with certain topical agents may be recommended to minimize the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
During treatment: A topical numbing cream is applied prior to your session for comfort. The CO2 laser is passed precisely over the treatment area, removing damaged skin and stimulating the deeper layers simultaneously. Treatment times vary depending on the size and complexity of the area being treated.
After treatment: CO2 laser resurfacing involves a meaningful recovery period — typically 7–14 days of redness, swelling, and peeling as the skin heals. This is a normal and expected part of the process. We’ll provide comprehensive aftercare instructions and recommend medical-grade skincare products to support your healing and protect your results. Sun protection is essential during recovery and beyond.
Results: Initial improvements are visible once the skin has healed, typically within 2 weeks. Results continue to develop significantly over the following 3–6 months as deep collagen remodeling progresses. Most clients experience the full impact of their treatment 3–6 months post-procedure — and those results can last for years with proper skincare and sun protection.
Unlike lighter treatments that require a series of sessions, many clients achieve their desired results with a single CO2 laser resurfacing treatment. For very advanced concerns or specific areas like deep acne scarring, a second treatment may be recommended after the skin has fully healed. During your consultation, Mandy will outline a realistic plan and timeline based on your specific goals.
CO2 laser resurfacing is an excellent option for adults who:
CO2 laser resurfacing works best on lighter skin tones. Patients with darker skin tones may be better suited to erbium laser resurfacing or other treatment modalities to minimize the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. During your consultation, Mandy will make an honest assessment of whether CO2 is the safest and most effective choice for your specific skin.
