Downtime
How CO2 Laser Resurfacing Works
The DEKA CO2 laser works by gently vaporizing tiny columns of damaged skin to trigger the body’s natural repair process. As new collagen forms, the skin becomes tighter, smoother, and more even in tone and texture.
At Beauty Rehab, we customize every DEKA CO2 treatment to your skin’s needs and your lifestyle:
- Medium CO2: Ideal if you’re new to lasers but ready for big change. This treatment targets wrinkles, sun damage, and rough texture for a visible reset with moderate downtime.
- Deep CO2: Best for experienced patients or those with advanced sun damage, deep wrinkles, or significant texture concerns. It rebuilds the skin from the ground up for the most dramatic, long-lasting transformation.
The Best Results Don’t Come from Laser Resurfacing Alone
The DEKA CO2 laser delivers powerful, lasting results, but great results start with great skin prep. If you’ve never done a laser before, we may recommend medical-grade skincare or a few chemical peels first to strengthen your skin barrier. When the skin is balanced and healthy, it heals faster, responds better to laser energy, and maintains its results for longer.

What is CO2 laser resurfacing?
CO2 laser resurfacing uses concentrated beams of light to remove layers of damaged skin to stimulate collagen remodeling beneath the surface. This process replaces dull, sun-damaged cells with fresh, healthy skin. DEKA’s SmartXide technology allows us to precisely control depth and density for personalized results.
Is CO2 laser resurfacing safe?
Yes. The DEKA SmartXide laser is a medical-grade device trusted worldwide for its precision and safety. At Beauty Rehab, every laser treatment is performed exclusively by a licensed medical professional.
What should I expect after a CO2 laser treatment? What is the healing process and timeline?
Your healing timeline depends on how deep we go. Immediately after your treatment, expect redness, warmth, and swelling for a few days, followed by noticeable peeling as the damaged layer sheds away.
Medium resurfacing typically requires 5–7 days of social downtime, while deep resurfacing can take 7–10 days. We recommend planning for a full two weeks of social downtime, just to be safe.
Your face is essentially an open wound during this healing period, so it is ESSENTIAL that you avoid sweating, exercise, skiing, saunas, hot tubs, and sun exposure to prevent infection, irritation, or further damage.
After the initial healing phase, your skin may feel dry or scaly for another week or two, and mild redness (called erythema) can persist for several weeks. This is completely normal as your body continues to build new, healthy skin cells.
Most patients are fully healed within 4–6 weeks, with peak results visible around three months after treatment as collagen remodeling completes.
Don’t let the healing process scare you: our clients consistently tell us that CO2 laser resurfacing is the most life-changing treatment they’ve ever tried.
In order to minimize downtime, we recommend prepping the skin with medical-grade skincare or a series of chemical peels first to strengthen your skin barrier.
Can CO2 laser resurfacing help with wrinkles or sun damage?
Absolutely. If you want a major improvement in your wrinkles, fine lines, skin laxity, or sun spots, this is it. Most wrinkles come from sun damage, and DEKA CO2 laser resurfacing treats that damage directly by removing the unhealthy layer and triggering new collagen formation. The result is tighter, stronger, smoother skin that looks years younger. Aside from medical-grade skincare, it’s the single best investment you can make in your skin’s long-term health.
How is CoolPeel different from DEKA CO2 laser resurfacing?
CoolPeel is a lighter, no-heat CO2 laser that only resurfaces the skin’s top layer. It’s great for beginners or pre-event glow, whereas DEKA CO₂ laser resurfacing reaches deeper layers to correct more advanced damage and deliver longer-lasting transformation.
Can CO2 laser resurfacing help with acne scars?
Yes. DEKA CO2 laser resurfacing is highly effective for treating acne scars because it targets the damaged collagen beneath each scar. By removing the rough, uneven surface layer and triggering new collagen production, it smooths textural scars and fades the dark spots (PIH) left behind by old breakouts. Over time, the skin becomes noticeably smoother in tone and texture.
