CO2 laser resurfacing uses a carbon dioxide laser to remove damaged outer layers of skin while heating the deeper layers beneath — triggering your body to rebuild smoother, tighter, more even-toned skin as it heals. Our CO2 laser is highly customizable allowing our providers to increase or decrease the level of ablation based on the concerns being treated.
Because this treatment works at a deeper level than microneedling or light-based facials, it’s performed at Tone under the oversight of a board-certified facial plastic surgeon. Our team collaborates to determine the safest, most effective treatment depth and density for your specific skin type and goals.
The experience
01
We evaluate your skin type and concerns to determine the right treatment depth and settings for your goals, downtime tolerance and schedule your treatment.
02
Topical numbing and lidocain injections are administered for comfort – you also have the option to add Nitronox for $150. The laser is then passed over your treatment area — the full appointment typically take 60-90 minutes.
03
You’ll go home with a full recovery skincare kit and clear instructions, with a follow-up check-in as your skin heals over the following week. Results begin to show around 3 months with full results visible around the 6 month mark.
why tone
CO2 laser depth and density have to be calibrated to your specific skin type to get dramatic results without unnecessary risk. At Tone, treatment settings are determined collaboratively with our expert providers under Dr. Tyler Okland’s surgical-level understanding of skin healing, so you get the most effective treatment your skin can safely handle.

Expect redness, swelling, and peeling for about 5 to 7 days, with residual pinkness that can be covered with makeup for a couple of weeks after. We send every patient home with a full recovery skincare kit and directions.
Results can last 1 to 3 years or more with proper sun protection and skincare, since the treatment stimulates lasting collagen remodeling rather than a temporary surface effect. Results can also be maintained with LaseMD Ultra laser treatments.
Many patients see dramatic results from a single treatment. Patients with more significant sun damage or scarring may benefit from an additional treatment.
SkinPen microneedling improves acne scarring, texture, and fine lines by stimulating your skin’s own collagen response. Most patients see the best results from a series of 3, spaced about 4–6 weeks apart.
Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries to stimulate collagen with minimal downtime, while CO2 laser resurfacing uses heat to remove damaged surface layers for more dramatic, longer-lasting results, with a longer recovery. Learn more about microneedling.

CO2 laser resurfacing is an advanced skin-rejuvenation treatment that delivers targeted beams of light energy to create microscopic thermal zones in the skin. This fractionated process vaporizes damaged outer layers while penetrating deep into the dermis to stimulate rapid collagen production. At Tone Medical Aesthetics, we utilize this technology to safely address fine lines, acne scarring, and uneven texture for Denver patients who want real, long-lasting skin correction.
The ideal candidate is anyone looking to reverse visible signs of aging, stubborn sun damage, or structural skin irregularities. While traditional, fully ablative CO2 lasers were limited to specific skin types, modern fractionated technology offers customizable settings for greater safety. A personalized consultation at our Denver clinic is required to evaluate your skin type, medical history, and aesthetic goals to ensure a laser setting tailored strictly to your needs.
The cost of CO2 laser resurfacing in Denver typically ranges from $1,500 to $3,500 per session. The final investment depends entirely on the size of the target area and the depth of treatment required to achieve your goals. Full-face rejuvenation generally falls on the higher end of the spectrum, while targeted areas like the eyes or mouth are lower. We provide completely transparent, exact pricing during your initial skin assessment at Tone.
CO2 laser recovery generally takes 7 to 10 days. Because Denver’s high altitude and low humidity can rapidly dehydrate healing tissue, keeping the skin protected is critical. During days 1 to 3, your skin will feel like a severe sunburn with minor swelling. By days 4 to 7, peeling and flaking will actively peak as old skin sheds. By days 8 to 10, fresh, vibrant new skin emerges, which can safely be covered with medical-grade mineral makeup.
Colorado’s intense UV exposure requires absolute sun avoidance during your 10-day healing window. You must apply a broad-spectrum, physical mineral sunscreen (zinc oxide or titanium dioxide) daily and wear a wide-brimmed hat for any outdoor transit. Our Denver provider team will supply you with a specialized, medical-grade barrier cream to lock in vital moisture and shield your skin from the dry Mile High air.
Yes, your results will look entirely natural because the treatment relies on your body’s organic cellular renewal. While you will notice a smoother, brighter complexion within the first 2 weeks after peeling finishes, the most dramatic changes evolve over 3 to 6 months. As new collagen matures, it naturally tightens the skin and softens deep lines from within, giving you a refreshed appearance without looking “overdone.”
