What is CO2 Laser?
CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) Laser is a fractional ablative laser that delivers precise beams of light energy to create microscopic treatment zones in the skin. This controlled thermal damage triggers the body's natural healing response, stimulating collagen production and skin renewal.
The 10,600nm wavelength is highly absorbed by water in skin cells, making it exceptionally effective for resurfacing damaged skin, reducing scars, and improving overall skin texture. It's considered the gold standard for treating moderate to severe acne scars.

Skin Conditions We Treat
CO2 Laser is highly effective for treating a wide range of skin concerns. Dr. Pang will assess your specific condition and customize the treatment for optimal results.
Acne Scars
Effectively treats all types of acne scars including boxcar, ice pick, and rolling scars. The laser stimulates collagen remodeling to fill in depressed scars.
Enlarged Pores
Reduces the appearance of enlarged pores by tightening the skin and stimulating collagen production around pore structures for a refined, smoother complexion.
Rough Skin Texture
Resurfaces uneven skin texture caused by sun damage, aging, or environmental factors. Reveals smoother, more uniform skin with improved radiance.
Fine Lines & Wrinkles
Reduces fine lines and wrinkles by promoting collagen renewal and skin tightening. Particularly effective for perioral and periorbital lines.
Sun Damage & Pigmentation
Addresses sun-damaged skin, age spots, and uneven pigmentation by removing damaged outer layers and promoting fresh, healthy skin growth.
Surgical & Trauma Scars
Improves the appearance of surgical scars, injury scars, and stretch marks through controlled skin remodeling and collagen stimulation.
How Does CO2 Laser Work?
Understanding the science behind CO2 laser treatment helps you appreciate why it's considered the gold standard for skin resurfacing.
Fractional Delivery
The laser creates thousands of microscopic treatment zones (MTZ) in the skin, leaving surrounding tissue intact for faster healing.
Controlled Thermal Damage
The 10,600nm wavelength is absorbed by water in cells, creating precise thermal damage that triggers the body's healing response.
Collagen Remodeling
The healing process stimulates new collagen and elastin production, resulting in firmer, smoother, and more youthful skin.
Skin Renewal
Old, damaged skin is replaced with fresh, healthy tissue. Results continue to improve for months after treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions
We apply topical numbing cream before the procedure to ensure your comfort. Most patients describe the sensation as warm prickling. After treatment, you may experience sunburn-like discomfort for 1-2 days, which is easily managed with cooling products and over-the-counter pain relief if needed.
Most patients achieve optimal results with 3-5 sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks apart. The exact number depends on your skin condition severity and treatment goals. For mild concerns, 2-3 sessions may suffice; for deep acne scars, 4-5 sessions are typically recommended. Dr. Pang will assess your needs during consultation.
Expect 5-7 days of social downtime. Your skin will be red and swollen for the first 2-3 days, followed by peeling for another 3-5 days. Most patients can return to work after 7-10 days with makeup coverage. Complete healing and pinkness resolution takes about 2-4 weeks. We provide detailed aftercare instructions and products to support your recovery.
Yes, with proper technique and settings. Asian skin types (Fitzpatrick III-V) require careful parameter adjustment to minimize the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). Dr. Pang has extensive experience treating Asian skin and uses conservative settings with proper pre and post-treatment protocols to ensure safe, effective results.
Initial improvement is visible once the skin heals (2-3 weeks). However, the best results develop over 3-6 months as new collagen forms. After completing your treatment course, results continue to improve and can last for years. Many patients see 50-70% improvement in acne scars and significant texture refinement.
Before: Avoid sun exposure, retinoids, and chemical peels for 2 weeks.
Stop blood-thinning medications/supplements as advised.
After: Avoid sun exposure for 4-6 weeks, use SPF 50+ daily, no makeup
for 7-10 days, avoid swimming pools/saunas for 2 weeks, and follow the gentle
skincare routine we provide. No active ingredients (retinol, AHA/BHA) until cleared.
