If you struggle with fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, or sun damage, laser skin resurfacing can help. Co2re (pronounced “core”) Fractional CO2 Skin Resurfacing at Advanced Body and Laser Center (ABLC) in Visalia is an advanced laser treatment that improves skin tone, texture, and elasticity by stimulating collagen production.
Unlike traditional resurfacing methods, Co2re uses fractional laser technology to precisely target damaged skin, revealing a smoother, more youthful appearance with minimal downtime. Whether you want to reduce wrinkles, fade discoloration, or improve skin laxity, Co2re delivers dramatic and long-lasting results.
Fractional CO2 laser resurfacing is a powerful skin rejuvenation treatment that uses laser energy to resurface the skin, improve texture, and stimulate collagen production. This advanced treatment helps address signs of aging, acne scars, and other imperfections without the need for surgery.
CO2 laser resurfacing is a skin renewal treatment that uses carbon dioxide (CO2) laser technology to remove the outer layer of damaged skin while heating the deeper layers. This triggers collagen production, leading to smoother, firmer, and healthier-looking skin.
Co2re Fractional CO2 Laser Resurfacing is FDA-approved and can treat a variety of skin concerns, including:
This treatment effectively resurfaces the skin, reducing imperfections while enhancing overall skin tightness and elasticity.
Co2re Fractional CO2 Laser Resurfacing works by delivering pulses of light energy to the skin, targeting both the outermost layer (epidermis) and the deeper layers (dermis). The laser energy is absorbed by water in the skin cells, causing controlled removal of damaged skin while stimulating new collagen growth.
As the skin heals, it becomes smoother, tighter, and more even in tone. Co2re’s fractional technology means that only small areas of skin are treated at a time, allowing for faster healing and minimal downtime compared to traditional CO2 lasers.
Co2re is a versatile skin treatment that addresses a wide range of concerns, including:
Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Reduces wrinkles around the eyes, forehead, and mouth by encouraging collagen production.
Skin Discoloration: Treats sunspots, age spots, and uneven skin tone for a more balanced complexion.
Acne Scars: Smooths out textured scars by resurfacing the skin and boosting collagen levels.
Skin Laxity: Tightens sagging skin, particularly around the jawline, neck, and under the eyes.
Enlarged Pores: Reduces the appearance of large pores, improving overall skin texture.
Stretch Marks: Helps fade and smooth stretch marks by rebuilding skin structure.
At ABLC in Visalia, we use Co2re laser resurfacing to treat multiple areas of the face and body. Our expert team customizes each treatment based on your unique skin concerns and goals.

CO2 laser resurfacing is a powerful anti-aging and skin renewal treatment, but it’s not suitable for everyone. Understanding who benefits most can help determine if Co2re is the right choice for you.
Co2re is ideal for individuals who:
1.) Want to reduce wrinkles, acne scars, or sun damage
2.) Have mild to moderate skin laxity
3.) Are looking for a non-surgical alternative to facelifts
4.) Have uneven skin texture or enlarged pores
5.) Are in good overall health and have realistic expectations
Co2re may not be suitable for individuals who:
1.) Have active skin infections or open wounds
2.) Are currently experiencing severe acne breakouts
3.) Have darker skin tones that are prone to hyperpigmentation
4.) Are pregnant or breastfeeding
5.) Have a history of keloid scarring
A consultation at ABLC will help determine if Co2re is the right treatment for you.
You will begin the Co2 laser treatment with a consultation with one of our ABLC practitioners. They will assess your skin and review your medical history to establish whether this treatment is the best option for you. You will discuss your aesthetic concerns and your beauty goals, and together, you will create a treatment plan that works for you.
The session lasts between 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the treatment area. A numbing cream and local anesthetic are applied to ensure comfort. The Co2re laser is then passed over the skin, delivering precise energy pulses that remove damaged skin and trigger collagen renewal.
After treatment, the skin may feel red, swollen, and sensitive, similar to a sunburn. Peeling typically occurs over the first 7-10 days, revealing fresh, new skin underneath. Full healing and collagen production continue for several months, with final results appearing within 3-6 months.
Most patients only need one session for significant improvement, but some may benefit from multiple treatments for deeper resurfacing.

The treatment time varies depending on the size of the area being treated and the depth of resurfacing required. Most Co2re sessions take between 30 minutes and 2 hours. Smaller areas, such as the under-eye region, may be completed more quickly, while full-face treatments or larger body areas take longer.
Patients may experience a warm, tingling, or stinging sensation as the laser energy is delivered. However, a topical numbing cream is applied before the procedure. For deeper treatments, a local anesthetic or sedative may be used. Any discomfort typically subsides quickly after the session.
Recovery from Co2re laser resurfacing usually lasts 1-2 weeks, depending on the depth of treatment. In the first few days, the skin may appear red, swollen, and sensitive, similar to a sunburn. Peeling and flaking are common as the skin regenerates. By the end of two weeks, most of the healing process is complete, though redness can persist for a few more weeks.
Initial improvements can be seen within 2-3 weeks as the skin begins to heal. However, the most significant results develop gradually over the next three to six months as collagen production increases. Skin continues to improve in tone, texture, and firmness over time.
Many patients see noticeable results after just one Co2re treatment. However, those with deeper wrinkles, severe acne scars, or significant sun damage may benefit from multiple sessions for optimal results. Your provider at ABLC will customize a treatment plan based on your skin concerns and goals.
Yes, Co2re is FDA-approved and clinically tested for safety and effectiveness. When performed by trained professionals, it is a safe and effective way to improve skin texture and appearance. Following aftercare instructions helps minimize any risks.
Co2re is most effective for lighter to medium skin tones. Those with darker skin tones may be at a higher risk for hyperpigmentation and may need specialized pre-treatment care. A consultation at ABLC will determine if Co2re is right for your skin type.
Co2re can treat multiple areas, including the face, neck, chest, hands, and other parts of the body with sun damage, wrinkles, or scars. It is commonly used for facial rejuvenation but is also effective for stretch marks and skin laxity on the abdomen or arms.
After a Co2re session, it’s important to avoid direct sun exposure, harsh skincare products, and picking or scratching the treated area. Patients should follow a gentle skincare routine and use broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect the healing skin.
Results from Co2re are long-lasting, especially when paired with proper skincare and sun protection. Many patients enjoy the benefits for several years, but natural aging will continue. Maintenance treatments every one to two years can help preserve results.
