What Does CO2 Laser Resurfacing Treat?

This treatment can be used to effectively treat fine lines, wrinkles, texture, acne pock marks, and discoloration, as well as other effects of aging and sun damage. The laser beam is applied in a fraction pattern to create columns of thermal damage on the skin to stimulate new collagen. Columns are spaced out so that the remaining tissue is spared, resulting in faster healing.

What should I know prior to a CO2 treatment?

A consultation is required before booking an AcuPulse CO2 treatment to ensure you are a good candidate, explain pre- and post-procedure instructions, and discuss expectations. Any exfoliation or retinol products will need to be stopped a week before the treatment. Some patients will need to pre-treat with Hydroquinone, but this will be discussed in your consultation.

What Our
Patients Say

In general Northwestern Med Spa is a great place. It is the place where you definitely can trust the staff. They are always honest and very knowledgeable. Everyone is so, so professional. I’ve gone to the Med Spa more than 3 years now and I am always very happy with any of my treatments, from very simple like peels to advanced lasers. They just opened the new location in River North in Chicago. The location is beautiful, super clean, new, fresh. The decor is amazing. It makes you feel very comfortable and relaxed. If you go there, I highly recommend to make an appointment with Robyn. She is a great professional.”
