Aging is a privilege—but it doesn’t mean you have to settle for dull, tired skin. At Breck Aesthetics & Wellness, we believe in aging with intention. And when it comes to reversing visible signs of sun damage, fine lines, and textural changes, CO₂ fractional laser resurfacing remains one of the most transformative tools in our anti-aging arsenal.
In this video, Breck Muller, PA-C and Erin Shannon, PA-C sit down to walk you through what to expect from this powerhouse treatment—and how it can reveal a firmer, smoother, and brighter version of your skin.
💡 What Is a CO₂ Fractional Laser Treatment?
The CO₂ fractional laser uses advanced technology to create thousands of microscopic thermal channels in the skin. These tiny “injuries” stimulate your body’s natural healing response, boosting collagen and elastin production—the structural proteins responsible for skin firmness, bounce, and texture.
What sets CO₂ fractional resurfacing apart is that it treats only a fraction of the skin at a time, leaving surrounding tissue intact for faster healing and less downtime compared to fully ablative lasers.
✨ Three Passes, Total Transformation
At Breck Aesthetics, we personalize every CO₂ treatment in three strategic passes:
- Pass 1: Pigment Correction
Targets age spots, cherry angiomas, sun damage, and melasma for a more even skin tone. - Pass 2: Wrinkle Reduction
Softens fine lines and deeper creases by stimulating collagen remodeling in the dermis. - Pass 3: Global Glow
Rejuvenates the entire surface of the skin for overall smoothness, tone, and radiance.
Following treatment, we apply LED red and blue light therapy to further calm inflammation, promote healing, and reduce post-treatment redness. It’s the perfect finishing touch to support recovery and enhance results.
⏳ Let’s Talk Downtime
CO₂ laser is powerful, and with that power comes some healing time. Expect:
- Redness, swelling, and sensitivity for 3–5 days
- Peeling and flaking around days 4–7
- Full skin recovery typically within 7–10 days
- Collagen production continues for months, with ongoing improvements in skin texture and firmness
Our team provides detailed aftercare instructions to help you heal beautifully—and comfortably.
🔬 The Science Behind the Glow
Why does this work so well? When your skin is injured in a controlled, precise way, your body rushes to rebuild. The laser energy not only removes damaged outer layers, but it recruits fresh collagen, improves circulation, and enhances cell turnover. This means brighter, smoother, and younger-looking skin that’s truly yours—just renewed.
