CO2 Laser Resurfacing in Princeton, NJ

Restore smoother, brighter, more youthful skin with advanced CO2 laser resurfacing at the Glasgold Group in Princeton, NJ. This innovative, non-surgical treatment uses the newest generation of CO2 laser technology to safely and effectively address fine lines, uneven skin texture, dull tone, and sun damage.

What Is CO2 Laser Resurfacing?

CO2 laser resurfacing is an advanced skin rejuvenation procedure that removes damaged outer layers of skin to reveal a smoother, more youthful complexion. The laser emits precise beams of light that are absorbed by water in your skin cells, gently vaporizing old or dull skin.

As your body naturally heals, new collagen and elastin fibers are produced, improving skin tone, texture, and firmness. The result is skin that looks refreshed, revitalized, and more even in color.

Our state-of-the-art CO2 laser allows your treatment to be precisely customized — from a gentle refresh with minimal downtime to a deeper resurfacing for more significant rejuvenation.

What Can CO2 Laser Resurfacing Treat?

CO2 laser resurfacing is highly effective in treating a wide range of skin concerns, including:

Fine lines and wrinkles
Uneven texture or rough skin
Dull or tired-looking skin
Sun damage and pigmentation
Enlarged pores
Acne scarring
Age spots and discoloration

Whether you want to rejuvenate your entire face or target smaller areas such as around the eyes or mouth, treatment plans are personalized for your specific needs.

Who Is an Ideal Candidate?

The treatment is most suitable for lighter skin tones, as darker complexions may carry a higher risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Darker skin types can still be treated but may require pre-treatment with a melanin-suppressing agent and modification of laser settings. During your consultation, our team will review your medical history, current medications, and skin type to ensure the safest and most effective approach for you.

What to Expect During Treatment

The length of your procedure depends on the size of the treatment area. A full-face and neck treatment usually takes 60 minutes. A targeted area treatment (such as around the eyes or mouth) is shorter.

A topical numbing cream can be applied to enhance comfort. Most patients find the treatment well-tolerated without the need for oral or IV sedation. However, CO2 laser resurfacing can also be combined with other surgical procedures performed under anesthesia if desired.

Recovery and Results

Recovery time varies depending on the depth and intensity of your treatment. Immediately after, your skin will appear red, warm, and slightly swollen — similar to a sunburn. The first night is typically the most uncomfortable.

Over the next 4–5 days, redness and swelling gradually subside as your skin begins to peel and renew. By one week, most patients feel comfortable returning to work and social activities, though healing times can vary from patient to patient.

Sun protection is essential for at least one month following treatment, as new skin is sensitive to UV exposure and prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Over the following weeks to months, your skin will look progressively smoother and firmer as collagen production continues.
