Glossary CO2 Laser

uses concentrated light to resurface or remove skin tissue

A CO2 laser, or Carbon Dioxide Laser, is a type of laser treatment that uses a concentrated beam of light to remove or resurface skin tissue. It is commonly used in dermatology and cosmetic surgery to treat wrinkles, scars, warts, and other skin conditions by vaporizing the outer layers of damaged skin, promoting collagen production and new skin growth.
