What is Fractional CO2 Resurfacing?

Skin resurfacing with the Lumenis UltraPulse® fractional CO2 laser at Stalder Plastic Surgery is a noninvasive aesthetic procedure that uses pulsating beams of energy to exfoliate layers of damaged skin cells. The treatment is performed to correct facial wrinkles and lines and for improving skin irregularities, such as pigmentation, acne scars, and other issues. Sometimes referred to as a laser peel, fractional skin resurfacing is an effective facial treatment for patients desiring clearer, softer, youthful-looking skin. Depending on the condition of the patient's complexion, the treatment can be adjusted accordingly. There is some downtime associated with most laser skin resurfacing procedures. Any questions or concerns can be discussed with Dr. Mark W. Stalder during your consultation in New Orleans, LA.

How Does CO2 Resurfacing Work?

If you are scheduled for a more intense or deeper skin resurfacing session, you may be asked to use a retinoid cream for a few weeks before your laser procedure. This helps prep the skin for more effective results. Medication will be suggested prior to the procedure to help lessen any sensation for greater relaxation throughout your appointment. If your skin needs mild correction, a local anesthetic will be applied to numb certain areas of the face. Some type of sedation may be used for the whole complexion or more intense laser procedures. During the procedure, you can relax in our treatment chair while the laser handpiece glides over the skin, precisely targeting the designated surfaces for improvement. You may feel the warmth from the laser, followed by cold air from the built-in cooling system. The laser is designed to destroy damaged skin cells while also prompting new collagen production.

Is CO2 Laser Resurfacing worth it?

CO2 Fractional Laser is highly beneficial for patients with severe sun damage, deeper wrinkles, uneven skin tone and texture, and acne scars. It offers skin tightening, a smooth complexion, and a radiant glow, often visible after just one session.

How long does CO2 Laser Resurfacing take to heal?

Post-treatment, patients may experience minor redness similar to sunburn, which doesn't hinder normal activities. Makeup is permissible, and hydration is crucial. Improvements in skin appearance, including brighter and healthier skin, usually occur within a week or two.

Is CO2 Laser Resurfacing treatment painful?

CO2 Laser Resurfacing can cause mild discomfort, described by patients as a "pins and needles" sensation. However, measures are taken to ensure patient comfort throughout the procedure.

From the day I met Dr Stalder he always asked me what I wanted rather than force anything on me. I trusted the process from the start and in the course of a year, the work done to my body is unbelievable. The more I heal the more beautiful everything is. From him to his 5 star staff, they are truly some wonderful people. My breasts look amazing!!! I still can’t believe how it all came together! Anytime I had a question him and his team were there to provide the answers almost in the blink of an eye! I am so honored to have worked with Dr Stalder and his team. I will never forget you all as I continue on with my life. You all were a special part of my breast cancer journey. Waking up to Abby checking on me also warmed my heart. She’s such a sweetheart ! I love you all and pray you continue to do an amazing job with individuals dealing with cancer. You have restored my dignity and helped me to love myself again.

I have fully recovered from my Diep flap procedure and reconstructive surgery from Dr. Stalder. I could not be happier with the outcome! Initially I was nervous to go thru the surgery because my situation was a little different. I had a prophylactic mastectomy with implants about 10 years ago and after multiple implant replacement surgeries due to issues, I also had a breast implant associated lymphoma scare. I was recommended to and sought consult with Dr. Mark Stalder. Dr. Stalder was able to resolve ALL of my issues! I couldn't be happier and really have appreciated Dr. Stalder and his amazing Team, Jess and Abby! Not only do my breasts look and feel amazing, the areas where tissues was harvested also look amazing, a nice little perk :) Thank you Dr. Stalder, Abby and Jess for everything you have done for me!

I had considered having a rhinoplasty for several years but was nervous that I would come out looking like a completely different person. Additionally, I had a severely damaged septum making it difficult to breathe through one side of my nose. After meeting with Dr. Stalder and the exceptional team at Stalder Plastic Surgery I was convinced that I would be in capable hands. Dr. Stalder took the time to listen to my concerns and answered all of my questions. I am currently 6 weeks post op and I could not be happier! Dr. Stalder made the changes that I had wanted for so long while maintaining the integrity of my nose. The subtle changes didn't make me look like a different person but rather a better version of myself! I am thrilled with the results and would absolutely recommend Dr. Stalder and Stalder Plastic Surgery for all of your needs and especially if you are considering surgery. If you are looking for a plastic surgeon, you should absolutely meet with Dr. Stalder. Currently I receive Botox at Stalder Plastic Surgery and I am always pleased with the very natural looking results. The office is stunning and the staff are kind and helpful. While I am not ready for anything else right now, I know that I will not trust anyone else but Dr. Stalder for my future aesthetic needs.

I had Botox done by Dr Stalder and it has been the best Botox I’ve ever received. I’ve been to plenty of different kind of providers for Botox but Dr Stalder did the best I’ve ever had. He’s professional but also easy going and easy to talk to about what you’re looking for. Jess and the rest of the staff are great at taking care of you to help you get the appointment that works best for you and making sure you are happy with your results. I’m looking forward to more treatments here at Stalder Plastic Surgery!
