Laser Resurfacing

Laser technology offers safe, effective solutions for a wide variety of skin concerns. At Carolina Skin Institute, we use advanced laser technology to deliver treatments tailored to your skin type and goals. Our Lumenis Ultrapulse CO2 laser is an effective way to improve skin tone, texture, and overall appearance. Using focused beams of light, this powerful laser gently removes damaged outer layers of skin and stimulates collagen production which results in smoother, firmer and more youthful looking skin. 

Skin Rejuvenation

CO2 laser resurfacing is an advanced skin rejuvenation technique used to precisely remove outer layers of damaged skin, triggering the body's natural healing response and stimulating new collagen production.

    • Tighten skin 

    • Reduce wrinkles and scars 

    • Even out skin coloring  

    • Remove certain skin lesions 

    • Improve scars  

    • Remove precancerous, damaged skin

  • Patients seeking to improve fine lines, wrinkles, and crepey skin as well as correct uneven pigmentation and sun damage are good candidates for laser resurfacing.

  • In general, laser resurfacing is performed in the office. Dr. Myracle uses a combination of topical numbing cream, nerve blocks and oral sedation for your comfort. You should expect to be in the office for about 2 hours for pretreatment, treatment and posttreatment care. You will go home with an occlusive ointment (ie: Aquaphor) applied to your face. Once home, you will cleanse the area 3-4 times a day and continue to apply occlusive ointment until all scabbing has resolved. 

  •  In general, treated areas will heal within 5-21 days, depending on the nature of the condition treated and the type of laser setting used. You should see an immediate difference in your treated skin. Depending on the strength of the treatment, your skin may stay pink for 2-3 months (but redness can persist for up to a year). Your skin will continue to improve for 6-12 months as new collagen is formed. Normal aging will eventually lead to new wrinkles and sunspots which can be treated with laser resurfacing again.
