CO₂ Laser
Advanced Laser Skin Renewal at Lasair
CO₂ Laser is an ablative fractional laser designed to resurface the skin by removing damaged outer layers while stimulating deep collagen remodeling. It is used to address wrinkles, scarring, sun damage, and more advanced texture concerns. Compared to more superficial treatments, CO₂ Laser provides a higher level of correction, with downtime that varies based on treatment depth and individual skin response.
How Lasair Uses the Fractional CO₂ Laser
CO₂ Laser is used for deeper correction of advanced signs of aging, acne scarring, pigmentation changes, and more significant texture concerns. It is most appropriate for patients seeking a higher level of improvement in overall skin quality. By using ablative fractional energy, the treatment removes damaged skin layers while stimulating collagen production within deeper tissue structures.
Treatment intensity and downtime vary depending on depth, with recovery ranging from several days to over a week based on the treatment plan. CO₂ Laser is used selectively within a comprehensive approach for patients requiring deeper correction. Healing and collagen response are monitored over time to guide future treatments, ensuring results remain balanced and aligned with long-term skin goals.
A Strategic Investment in Skin Health
Treatment begins with an evaluation of skin condition, treatment history, and desired level of correction. During the procedure, ablative fractional laser energy is applied to resurface the skin and stimulate collagen production. As healing progresses, results are monitored and follow-up care is provided to support optimal outcomes and guide future planning.

Before & After Your Visit
Before your CO₂ Laser treatment, avoid excessive sun exposure and arrive with clean skin free of makeup, lotions, or skincare products. Inform your provider of any medications, medical conditions, prior laser treatments, or history of pigmentation concerns, and follow all instructions regarding prescribed medications or topical anesthetics before your appointment.
After treatment, redness, swelling, warmth, oozing, dryness, and a sunburn-like sensation are common during the healing process. Mild crusting, itching, acne flare-ups, or temporary skin darkening may also occur as the skin recovers and regenerates. Keep the treated area clean, moisturized, and protected from sun exposure, and follow all post-care instructions carefully to support healing and reduce the risk of scarring or pigmentation changes. Healing and redness may continue improving gradually over several weeks.

I’ve been coming here for a few months now and have had a few different services done and I’d just like to say how pleased and satisfied I am with the amount of professionalism this office has shown. Not only did they make me feel absolutely confident in the work that was being presented they are very knowledgeable and up to trend. Devanny is amazing!!! I’ll definitely continue to come here.
Dr. Parker is amazing - in her knowledge, execution and restraint! Her recommendations are spot on and she knows how to keep you looking like yourself only looking younger and refreshed. Truly impressed and will not go anywhere else.
I have had various treatments at Lasair over the years and have always been happy with the results. Looking to freshen my look for my daughter's upcoming wedding, I naturally turned to Dr. Parker. She recommended an UltraClear treatment for my entire face and I couldn't be happier!! The brown spots, redness, fine lines, dull skin and oversized pores on my face have DISAPPEARED! My skin looks great without makeup but when using it, it goes on more evenly and looks more natural. Two months since the treatment and I am still getting comments to the effect that I am glowing! (and at 60 that seems remarkable) I couldn't get over the quick turnaround time either. Thank you Dr. Parker!!
Marisal and the team at Lasair were amazing! The facility is super clean and beautiful. I had microneedling done and I can honestly say that the procedure was totally painless. Marisal is an expert and my skin is absolutely glowing!
Been coming here for a few years and really love this place. I initially started with Botox here because I appreciated that the clinic gives back to the community and continued coming because of the range of services offered and the talent of my provider . I appreciate how they are always including the newest techniques. Devanny is skilled at what she does and is also knowledgeable in every area of the clinics offerings and so she gives great advice about what would be best for me to try next.
I love Dr. Parker and her staff. I am so happy that I found Lasair a few years ago and I wish I had found them sooner. I trust Dr. Parker. She tells you like it is and she is truly expert in her craft. I always feel prettier and happier after seeing her. I love the new location, too! Highly recommend!
