What Is Laser Skin Resurfacing?

Fully ablative CO2 laser resurfacing is a surgical procedure that uses a high-energy laser to remove the damaged outer layers of skin completely. Unlike fractional lasers, which treat only portions of the skin, this technique addresses the entire treatment area for comprehensive rejuvenation. The process stimulates collagen production, tightens the skin, and corrects deep imperfections such as wrinkles, scars, and uneven tone.

At SF Bay Area Plastic Surgery, we utilize the latest CO2 laser technology to achieve precise results tailored to your unique skin concerns. This procedure offers unparalleled skin rejuvenation, delivering results that are not only transformative but also long-lasting.
