CO2 laser skin resurfacing is one of the most powerful, clinically proven treatments for improving skin tone, texture, and overall skin quality. Using advanced technology from DEKA, this treatment targets deep skin concerns such as wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, and pigmentation while stimulating long-term collagen regeneration.
Whether you’re looking to refresh aging skin or correct visible imperfections, DEKA CO2 laser resurfacing delivers dramatic, long-lasting results with precision and control.
DEKA’s CO2 laser technology uses fractionated carbon dioxide laser energy to resurface the skin by creating microscopic treatment zones. These controlled micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural healing response, promoting:
Because the laser treats only a fraction of the skin at a time, recovery is more manageable compared to older fully ablative CO2 lasers, while still achieving impressive results.
DEKA CO2 laser resurfacing is highly effective for addressing:
This makes it an excellent option for patients seeking comprehensive skin rejuvenation rather than surface-level improvements.
Many patients see noticeable improvement after a single treatment, with continued enhancement over several months as collagen rebuilds.
CO2 laser resurfacing can be performed on multiple areas, including:
Treatment plans are customized to address your specific concerns and skin type.
Skin resurfacing with a CO2 laser is one of the more powerful tools available for addressing texture, tone, fine lines, and sun damage, but it is also a procedure where the outcome depends heavily on patient selection, proper technique, and honest expectations. We believe that last part matters most.
Dr. Jiles holds membership on the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery and the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery, and applies her clinical judgment to every treatment decision with the same care she brings to surgical procedures. Her approach to skin rejuvenation is guided by the same philosophy that defines her other work: delivering improvements that look natural, suit the individual, and do not overpromise what can be achieved. The goal of CO2 laser treatment is healthier, more refined skin, not a dramatic overnight change.
During your consultation, we evaluate your skin type, your specific concerns, and your medical history to determine whether CO2 laser resurfacing is genuinely the right option for you. If a different approach would serve you better, we will say so. This commitment to honest, clinically grounded guidance is something patients consistently recognize as a defining feature of our practice.
Recovery from CO2 laser resurfacing takes time, and we make sure you understand what that process looks like before you proceed. We also stay engaged with you through that recovery period, because good outcomes depend on good follow-through on both sides. Patients traveling from Bradenton, Tampa, St. Petersburg, and throughout the Sarasota region will find a team that is accessible, communicative, and genuinely invested in your results.
A thorough consultation is performed to assess your skin type, specific concerns, and aesthetic goals. During this initial evaluation, your provider will review your medical history and determine the most appropriate laser settings for your unique needs. In the weeks leading up to your session, a pre-treatment skincare regimen may be recommended to optimize your results and prepare your skin for the procedure. This often includes products that promote cell turnover and strengthen the skin barrier. On the day of treatment, a numbing cream and/or local anesthesia is typically applied to the treatment area to ensure your comfort throughout the session.
The laser is applied to the skin in a controlled, fractional pattern, targeting microscopic columns of tissue while leaving the surrounding skin intact. This approach stimulates the body’s natural healing response and encourages the production of fresh collagen and elastin. Treatment time varies depending on the size of the area being addressed and the intensity of the settings used, but most sessions range from 15 minutes to an hour. Throughout the procedure, most patients describe the sensation as warm or prickling, similar to tiny pinpoints of heat against the skin. Your provider will monitor your comfort level and adjust as needed to ensure the best possible experience.
In the hours and days following your treatment, redness, swelling, and a sunburn-like sensation are completely normal and expected. These effects are signs that your skin’s healing process has begun. Over the next several days, the skin will begin to flake or peel as new, healthier skin emerges from beneath the surface. It is important to keep the treated area moisturized, avoid direct sun exposure, and follow your provider’s aftercare instructions carefully to support proper healing. Downtime varies depending on the depth and intensity of the treatment, ranging from a few days for lighter sessions to a week or more for deeper resurfacing. As your skin continues to heal over the following weeks and months, you can expect to see gradual improvements in tone, texture, and overall radiance.
Recovery time depends on how aggressively the laser is used:
During recovery:
Your provider will give detailed aftercare instructions to ensure safe healing and optimal results.
Most patients notice:
Results can last years with proper skincare and sun protection, making CO2 laser resurfacing one of the most effective anti-aging treatments available.
You may be a good candidate for DEKA CO2 laser resurfacing if you:
A consultation is required to determine if this treatment is right for your skin type and goals.
Compared to treatments like microneedling, IPL, or non-ablative lasers, CO2 laser resurfacing offers:
While downtime is greater, the results are often unmatched for patients seeking transformative skin renewal.
The practice has some of the most competitive pricing you can find in the Florida area. There is a $100 consult fee, which is added to the total cost of the procedure, if one is scheduled. In addition, she offers flexible payment solutions, such as financing options through CareCredit and Cherry.
If you’re ready to improve wrinkles, scars, pigmentation, and overall skin quality, DEKA CO2 laser skin resurfacing may be the ideal solution.
