What Is the eCO2 Fractional CO2 Laser?

The eCO2 laser is an ablative fractional CO2 laser system that resurfaces the skin with exceptional precision. By removing damaged skin in microscopic columns while stimulating new collagen production in deeper layers, eCO2 effectively smooths wrinkles, improves skin tone, and tightens lax areas — all in a single session. It’s ideal for rejuvenating skin on the:

Face
Neck
Chest
Hands

This treatment is especially effective for individuals looking to reduce visible signs of aging, sun exposure, or acne scarring.

What Can eCO2 Treat?

Fine lines and deep wrinkles
Sun-damaged or leathery skin
Uneven tone and pigmentation
Acne scars and texture irregularities
Enlarged pores
Mild to moderate skin laxity
Surgical or traumatic scars

How eCO2 Laser Resurfacing Works

The eCO2 laser works by creating micro-ablative columns (MACs) — small zones of controlled injury within the skin that trigger your body’s natural healing response. These tiny channels penetrate both the epidermis and dermis, prompting collagen and elastin regeneration while removing damaged skin layers.

What sets eCO2 apart is the ability to customize depth and density of treatment based on your individual skin type and goals. The result? More youthful, smoother skin with improved firmness and clarity.

What to Expect During Treatment

Treatment Time: 30 to 60 minutes, depending on area
Anesthesia: Topical and local anesthetic; deeper treatments may include mild sedation
Comfort: Well-tolerated with numbing and optional cooling
Post-Treatment: Redness, warmth, and mild swelling similar to a sunburn

Recovery & Results

Downtime: Typically 3 to 7 days, depending on treatment depth
