Your skin reflects years of sun exposure, daily stressors, and the natural aging process. For many, these changes show up sooner than expected and can affect both confidence and overall skin health. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Mark Fisher offers advanced laser resurfacing with the DEKA Fractional CO2 system to help patients restore clarity, smoothness, and youthful radiance with minimal downtime. Read on to discover how this powerful treatment revitalizes the skin.
1. Fine Lines and Wrinkles
Lines around the eyes, mouth, and forehead tend to appear gradually but become more noticeable with time. CO2 laser resurfacing encourages collagen remodeling beneath the surface, creating firmer, smoother skin.
Common fine-line concerns patients often want to improve include:
- Crow’s feet
- Upper lip lines
- Forehead lines
- Early creasing around the mouth
2. Sun Damage and Pigmentation Irregularities
Years of UV exposure often leave behind dark spots, rough patches, and an overall dull quality. The DEKA Fractional CO2 laser targets damaged cells with precision, allowing healthier skin to emerge as the treated layers regenerate.
Patients often seek treatment for concerns such as:
- Brown spots
- Sun-induced discoloration
- Uneven pigmentation
- Overall loss of skin brightness
3. Uneven Skin Texture
Texture concerns such as roughness or patchiness can make the skin appear older than it is. CO2 laser resurfacing refines the skin surface by creating controlled micro-channels that trigger natural healing.
Common texture issues patients notice include:
- Rough or dry patches
- Dull or uneven surface
- Crepey areas
- Irregular skin thickness
4. Acne Scars
Acne scars can leave lasting marks even long after breakouts have resolved. Fractional CO2 resurfacing softens and reduces these scars by stimulating deeper collagen regeneration.
Patients often see improvement in:
- Shallow atrophic scars
- Rolling scars
- Boxcar scars
- Textural irregularities left behind from long-healed acne
5. Enlarged Pores
Pores that appear stretched or prominent can distract from an otherwise healthy complexion. By tightening the surrounding skin and promoting collagen renewal, CO2 resurfacing can minimize the visibility of enlarged pores.
Patients frequently seek treatment for concerns such as:
- Visibly enlarged pores on the cheeks
- Prominent pores around the nose
- Uneven skin quality related to pore size
- Pores that appear more noticeable with age
Ideal Candidates for CO2 Laser Resurfacing
Fractional CO2 resurfacing works best for patients with lighter skin tones, visible sun damage, fine lines, texture irregularities, or acne scarring. Those with active acne or certain medical conditions may not be ideal candidates due to a higher risk of post-treatment pigmentation. During your consultation, your skin type, concerns, and goals will be evaluated to determine whether CO2 resurfacing or a non-ablative alternative will deliver the safest, most effective results.
