What is CO2 laser skin resurfacing?
CO2 laser skin resurfacing is an FDA approved laser treatment that removes the outermost sun damaged skin layer and tightens the deeper collagen layers. Treatment is delivered as an outpatient procedure with sedation resulting in a smoother younger and healthier skin appearance. CO2 laser skin resurfacing turns back the clock on your skin for five to fifteen years in most patients.

Who should consider CO2 laser skin resurfacing?
CO2 laser skin resurfacing is right for all fair skin type patients who are interested in dramatically improving the appearance of wrinkles, pigmentation, sun damage or scarring anywhere on the face.

How important is it that a physician perform the treatment?
Dr. Khan has been performing CO2 laser skin resurfacing since 1995, has written several CO2 laser skin resurfacing treatment book chapters, given national and international lectures, and been interviewed for a national medical newsletter (click here for link ) on CO2 laser skin resurfacing. He uses a variety of methods to ensure uniform and consistent effect with minimal discomfort. Patients who have been to other doctors or non-physicians have noticed the difference! If you are not satisfied with your current treatment, don’t give up on CO2 laser skin resurfacing…let us show you the difference that years of experience can make in your results!

How expensive is CO2 laser skin resurfacing?
Treatment costs vary depending upon the area treated and amount of drug used. On average, treatment is $1500 to treat both crow’s-feet, or wrinkles around the mouth - plus about 30% operating room and anesthesia charges. Full face treatment is $4200.00 including operating room and anesthesia charges.

Will I experience any discomfort or downtime during the treatment?
CO2 laser skin resurfacing has a 10 – 14 day down time before the new skin grows in. After that, the new skin is pink but can be covered with concealer and you may resume your usual social activities. Most people experience minimal discomfort that is diminished with an ice pack. Initially, you may feel a mild sunburn sensation of the skin for 12 hours. The procedure can be completely painless when intravenous sedation is used.
