CO₂ laser is a treatment that refreshes your skin with less downtime than other lasers. It gently removes the top layer of skin that may be dull or damaged. This process also tells your body to make new collagen. Collagen helps smooth wrinkles, even out skin tone, and improve texture. At Skin Boutique, we offer laser skin resurfacing in Royal Oak, MI, with CoolPeel technology to give you natural results that make your skin glow and feel refreshed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, CO₂ laser using CoolPeel technology can adjust for different skin types. Because it uses controlled energy, it treats the surface without harming deeper layers. Your provider will look at your skin to make sure CO2 is the right fit for you.
You may be a good candidate for laser skin resurfacing if you:
- Are in overall good health
- Want to improve skin tone and texture
- Want to soften fine lines and wrinkles
- Prefer gentler laser treatment with little downtime
No, it shouldn’t hurt. Most clients find CO2 tolerable. Before treatment, your provider applies a numbing ointment to help you stay comfortable. During the session, you may feel a light warmth or tingling, but it’s usually mild and easy to tolerate.
Yes, but downtime with CoolPeel technology is minimal compared to older CO₂ lasers. After treatment, your skin may look pink or feel warm, like a light sunburn, for 4 to 7 days. You’ll need to avoid wearing makeup for the first 48 hours and keep your skin well-hydrated with Aquaphor or Glymed Cell Protection Balm. Some dryness or light roughness is normal as your skin renews.
Many clients notice a refreshed glow within the first week as their skin heals from treatment. As collagen production increases, results continue to build over the next few weeks. With each passing day, your skin looks smoother, brighter, and more even in tone. A series of 3 treatments can help you achieve long-lasting improvements.
Results from your laser skin resurfacing in Royal Oak, MI, with CO2 can last for several months as your skin continues to build new collagen. Many clients enjoy a smoother texture and brighter tone for up to six months or longer. With proper skincare and follow-up treatments as recommended by your provider, you can maintain your results for even longer.
