The Missing Piece: Benefits of CO2 Laser Resurfacing
Injectables address movement and volume, but they don’t resurface the skin itself. CO2 laser skin resurfacing treats the skin directly and can address:
- RSun-damaged skin and liver spots
- RFine lines around the eyes and mouth
- RCrepey, aged skin
- REnlarged pores and uneven tone
- RAcne and chickenpox scars
- RCustomizable treatment modes with the Lumenis UltraPulse®
CO2 Laser Resurfacing: Who Is a Candidate?
Ideal candidates are in good overall health, have good skin elasticity and do not have healing-related scarring issues. They often include those who:
- RAlready get Botox or filler but still aren’t happy with their skin
- RHave sun damage, fine lines or crepey skin
- RAre not pregnant or breastfeeding and have no active skin infections in the treatment area

FAQs: CO2 Laser Resurfacing in St. Petersburg
I already get Botox and filler. Why would I need a laser?
Botox can smooth your forehead and filler can restore volume, but neither treats the surface of the skin. CO2 laser resurfacing targets sun damage, fine lines, crepey texture and uneven tone, so it complements injectables rather than replacing them.
What laser do you use?
Anthony Aesthetics uses the Lumenis UltraPulse® CO2 laser, known for delivering high-precision, controlled ablation with minimal thermal damage to surrounding tissue. It offers four distinct treatment modes that can be customized from superficial concerns like fine lines and pigmentation to deeper wrinkles and scars.
What happens during a CO2 laser treatment?
The treatment area is cleaned and you’ll wear protective goggles. Local anesthesia with sedation may be used for certain patients. The laser handpiece is then passed over each treatment area, emitting controlled laser energy.
What is recovery like?
Temporary redness, dryness and bruising are common, and peeling is a natural part of healing. Redness diminishes over time. You’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions, and it’s important to wear SPF 30 or higher and avoid prolonged sun exposure.
How should I prepare?
Apply sunscreen consistently for the month leading up to treatment, temporarily stop supplements or medications that may inhibit blood clotting as directed, and avoid smoking, which can impede healing.
Is financing available?
Yes! Anthony Aesthetics offers financing through Cherry for qualifying applicants.
