CO2 Laser Resurfacing in Douglas and Ocilla, GA
CO2 laser resurfacing is an advanced skin treatment that can improve the appearance of wrinkles, scars, sun damage, and uneven skin tone. At Women's Health Clinic, our laser-trained provider offers CO2 treatments for skin rejuvenation, texture improvement, anti-aging, and feminine wellness.
What Is CO2 Laser Resurfacing?
CO2 laser resurfacing is a cosmetic procedure that uses a concentrated beam of light to remove the top layer of skin. This can improve the look of wrinkles, scars, and sun damage.
How Does It Work?
The laser vaporizes the top layer of skin, creating a controlled injury that triggers your body's natural healing response. As the skin heals, it produces new collagen, which can improve the appearance of wrinkles and scars.

Who Is a Good Candidate?
CO2 laser resurfacing is a good option for many people who want to improve the appearance of their skin, but it is not right for everyone. People with certain conditions, such as active acne or a history of keloid scarring, may not be good candidates. Your consultation will help determine whether it is right for you.
Risks to Know About
CO2 laser resurfacing is a safe and effective procedure when performed by a trained provider, but there are some risks, including infection, scarring, and changes in skin pigmentation. We review these with you before treatment.
What to Expect After Treatment
After treatment, your skin will be red, swollen, and tender. These effects usually improve within a few days. Protecting your skin from the sun afterward is very important.
