The Ablative CO2 laser treatment is widely considered the industries “gold standard” as it uses
powerful carbon dioxide to vaporize deep into the dermal layers of the skin to trigger significant
collagen production. By damaging the deep tissues of the skin, the body is signaled to
produce new, healthy skin which is void of wrinkles, scars, sun damage and skin laxity.

Candidates for Ablative C02

• Patients with deep lines and wrinkles
• Patients with acne scars and surgical scars
• Patients with severe sun damage
• Patients with sagging skin

About Ablative C02

The Ablative C02 laser treatment delivers dramatic long-lasting results that produce fresh, firm,
youthful skin. At Laser Aesthetics of Colorado, our Ablative C02 laser treats surgical and acne
scars while reversing severe sun damage. Patients report tighter skin and looking years
younger. Our laser can be used in any area of the body and most commonly used on the face,
neck and chest. Many patients choose to laser all three areas at the same appointment to
save time and money.

How Ablative C02 is Performed

The Ablative C02 laser treatment is performed with our state-of-the-art laser by passing over
the skin to ablate the deep layers of the dermis. This effective laser creates controlled wounds,
promoting the growth of new, healthy skin and tissue. At Laser Aesthetics of Colorado, our
Ablative C02 laser treatment eliminates scar tissue and hyperpigmentation, repairs severe sun
damage, and aged skin. This powerful laser treatment requires a longer recovery than milder
lasers but the results are well with it.
