DEKA CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing

Deka CO2 Laser Q & A

What does the DEKA CO2 laser treat best?

The DEKA CO₂ laser is especially effective for:

• Fine lines and wrinkles (including around the eyes and mouth)

• Acne scars and other textural irregularities

• Sun damage and age spots

• Uneven skin tone and rough skin texture

• Enlarged pores

• Mild to moderate skin laxity

Because it targets deeper layers of the skin, CO₂ laser resurfacing provides more dramatic and longer-lasting results than non-ablative laser treatments.

What makes the DEKA CO2 laser different?

DEKA’s advanced fractional CO₂ technology allows for:

• Highly customizable treatment depth and intensity

• Precise targeting with controlled thermal delivery

• Improved collagen stimulation with optimized healing

• The ability to tailor treatments for both aggressive resurfacing or more conservative rejuvenation

This level of control allows us to customize the treatment to your skin type, concerns, and desired downtime.

What should I expect during the treatment?

Before the procedure, a topical numbing cream is applied to ensure comfort. During treatment, the laser is passed across the skin, delivering controlled energy to targeted areas. Most patients experience warmth and mild discomfort, which is generally well tolerated.

Treatment time typically ranges from 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the treatment area and intensity.

How many sessions are needed for best results?

Many patients achieve noticeable and lasting improvement with one DEKA CO₂ laser session, especially for moderate to advanced skin concerns. In some cases, lighter resurfacing treatments may be performed in a series for gradual improvement with reduced downtime.

Your provider will recommend a personalized treatment plan during your consultation.

What does recovery look like?

Recovery varies based on treatment depth:

• Days 1–3: Redness, swelling, and a sunburn-like sensation

• Days 3–7: Skin may darken, crust, or peel as old skin sheds

• 1–2 weeks: New skin emerges with visible improvement

• Up to 3–6 months: Continued collagen remodeling and skin tightening

Most patients return to normal activities within 7–10 days, depending on treatment intensity.

What are tips for optimal recovery?

To support proper healing and optimal results:

• Keep skin moisturized using post-procedure products provided

• Avoid sun exposure and wear broad-spectrum sunscreen daily

• Do not pick, scrub, or peel the skin

• Avoid makeup until approved by your provider

• Follow all post-treatment instructions carefully

Proper aftercare is essential for safe healing and beautiful results.

When will I see results?

Initial improvements are visible once healing is complete, usually within 1–2 weeks. However, collagen production continues for several months, meaning your skin will continue to improve in firmness, texture, and tone over time.

Who is a good candidate for DEKA CO2 laser resurfacing?

This treatment is ideal for patients who:

• Have visible signs of aging or sun damage

• Want significant improvement in skin texture or scarring

• Are seeking long-lasting skin rejuvenation

• Are able to accommodate a short recovery period

A consultation is required to determine candidacy and customize treatment settings.
