Advanced Skin + Body Aesthetics offers a new fractional CO-2 Acupulse laser by Lumenis. This laser treatment is the new gold standard for skin tightening and resurfacing, producing dramatic results in a single session. It combines 3 lasers in one device for improved efficiency. Collagen consists of nutrients that keep the skin looking and feeling its best. Over the years due to lack of collagen, we start to notice visible skin imperfections that cannot organically repair themselves, such as dark spots and deep wrinkles. The sudden triggering of collagen-producing cells by the CO-2 laser makes for tight, youthful skin.

The AcuPulse can treat the following problems:

  • skin damage
  • uneven texture
  • deep wrinkles
  • sun spots
  • pigmentation irregularities
  • acne scars
  • warts

Skin Boosters

Skin regeneration has entered a new era with the introduction of PN (Polynucleotide) and PDRN (Polydeoxyribonucleotide) therapy—an advanced add-on treatment derived from salmon DNA known for its exceptional compatibility with human skin.

It works by stimulating tissue repair, reducing inflammation, and promoting collagen production, making it a powerful ally in skin rejuvenation and recovery. Each session builds upon the last, as collagen remodeling continues over time, leading to smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin.

Why PN & PDRN Skin Boosters?

  • Accelerated Healing: Enhances cellular repair and shortens downtime after procedures.
  • Deep Hydration: Improves moisture retention and elasticity for supple, glowing skin.
  • Inflammation Reduction: Soothes redness and irritation following treatments.
  • Collagen Stimulation: Supports long-term dermal remodeling and firmness.
  • Brighter Complexion: Refines texture and restores luminosity.

These advanced formulations are now available as add-ons following microneedling and laser treatments, enhancing recovery and results.

These boosters provide a comprehensive approach to skin restoration—Rejuran for deep repair and VAMP for surface revitalization. Ask about adding Rejuran or VAMP to your next appointment. Experience the next level of skin rejuvenation with these powerful boosters—your skin will thank you.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many Laser Fractional Resurfacing sessions are needed to achieve maximum results?

The number of sessions needed for AcuPulse Skin Resurfacing to achieve maximum results can vary depending on the individual’s skin condition and the specific concerns being addressed. Generally, significant improvements can be seen with just one session, especially for moderate skin issues. However, for more severe conditions like deep wrinkles or extensive sun damage, multiple sessions may be necessary. Each session can further enhance the skin’s appearance, with cumulative results leading to a more dramatic overall improvement. During the initial consultation, your skincare professional will assess your skin and discuss a tailored treatment plan that specifies the number of sessions needed to meet your aesthetic goals.

How long after Laser Fractional Resurfacing do you have to stay out of sun exposure after a session?

After undergoing an AcuPulse Skin Resurfacing treatment, it’s crucial to minimize sun exposure for at least 4 to 6 weeks. This precaution is important because the skin is particularly sensitive and vulnerable to damage as it heals and regenerates new tissue. Sun exposure during this period can lead to complications such as hyperpigmentation, prolonged redness, and other unwanted side effects. To protect your skin, use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher daily, wear protective clothing, and avoid peak sunlight hours. Following these guidelines will help ensure the best possible results from your treatment and prevent damage to the newly sensitized skin layers.

Can you resume wearing make up after Laser Fractional Resurfacing?

During the first few days post-treatment, it’s crucial to keep the skin clean and protected to avoid infection and support the healing process. Once your skin has sufficiently recovered and with the approval of your healthcare provider, you can begin to use makeup again, ideally starting with mineral-based products that are less likely to irritate sensitive skin.

Halo vs Co2 laser?

Halo is a hybrid fractional laser that uses ablative and non-ablative wavelengths. It targets surface and deeper layers of the skin but primarily surface. It does offer less downtime. May require more treatments since not going as deep.

Acupulse Co2 is a fully ablative laser that removes skin layers more aggressively. It requires more downtime but also provides dramatic results. Less treatments since going deeper.

Both target skin tone, texture, sun damage, etc. However Co2 may work better for more severe cases.

How can I speed up healing after CO₂ laser?

To enhance the healing process after CO₂ laser resurfacing, follow these care instructions:

  • Keep the skin moisturized with a gentle, fragrance-free skin care product.
  • Avoid sun exposure, as it can delay healing and cause skin damage sun.
  • Use a mild cleanser and avoid scrubbing the top layer of skin.
  • Stay hydrated and eat foods rich in collagen elastin to support skin rejuvenation.
  • Follow post-treatment guidelines, including avoiding excessive sweating and heat exposure.
How long after CO₂ laser will I see results?

Results typically appear within 1-3 weeks as the skin surface heals, with full improvements in skin tone, skin texture, and reduction of fine lines visible after 3-6 months. The fractional laser skin treatment stimulates collagen elastin, so improvements continue over time.

 

What is CO₂ laser treatment?

A CO₂ laser treatment is a type of ablative laser resurfacing that removes the top layer of skin to treat wrinkles fine lines, acne scars, deep facial wrinkles, and sun damage. It is one of the most effective laser resurfacing treatments for skin rejuvenation and anti-aging.

Does CO₂ laser hurt?

Yes, but discomfort varies. Since the ablative laser removes layers of skin, patients typically experience a warm, stinging sensation. Fractional lasers reduce discomfort compared to traditional CO₂ laser resurfacing. A numbing cream or local anesthesia is often used during the laser treatment.

Does CO₂ laser tighten skin?

Yes! CO₂ laser skin resurfacing stimulates collagen elastin production, leading to firmer, tighter skin. Over several months, the deep layers of the skin surface regenerate, reducing wrinkles fine lines and skin concerns.

When to wash face after CO₂ laser?

Wait at least 24 hours before gently cleansing your skin with a mild, non-irritating cleanser. Follow post-treatment care instructions to avoid disrupting the healing process.

How long after CO₂ laser can I wear makeup?

Most patients can wear makeup after 7-10 days, depending on how quickly their skin heals. Avoid applying makeup too soon, as it can interfere with the healing process and irritate the skin surface.

 

Is CO₂ laser safe?

Yes, CO₂ laser resurfacing is considered safe when performed by a qualified provider. However, there are potential side effects, including temporary redness, swelling, and sensitivity. Proper skin care and care instructions help minimize risks.

 

What should I expect for the CO₂ laser treatment?

You may be prescribed prescription medications to use prior to your treatment to prevent infection and hyperpigmentation depending on your skin type. When you arrive for your procedure a topical numbing cream will be applied to the treatment area to minimize any discomfort. During the treatment, most patients experience a moderate heat sensation as the applicator is passed over the surface of the skin. Cool air is also applied during the procedure for comfort. The full treatment generally can be expected to last around 60 minutes. Immediately following treatment, your skin will be warm and may be red and swollen, depending on your customized treatment settings. Patients will be sent home with a topical moisturizer to be worn for 3-5 days and nothing else. Most patients are able to resume their daily activities within one week. While your skin is recovering from the treatment, it is best to avoid exposing the treated area to direct sunlight or any other irritants which could interfere with skin regeneration.
