What Co2 Resurfacing Technology do we use?

Lumenus Ultrapluse Alpha

Made by Lumenis, the ULTRApulse® Alpha is considered the “holy grail” of non-surgical laser skin resurfacing treatments. This CO2 laser system relies on short, concentrated beams of light energy to transform the tone and texture of the skin. A versatile laser that can address a broad range of skin concerns, ULTRApulse® Alpha offers many different capabilities and includes treatment with ActiveFX, DeepFX, TotalFX, and SCAAR FX.

Whether the health and texture of your skin have been disrupted by acne scarring, wrinkles, unsightly scars, laxity, large pores, or other unfavorable skin conditions, treatment with the ULTRApulse® Alpha laser is customized to the exact depth and modality necessary to achieve your goals.

This powerful laser not only stimulates new collagen production — ensuring the effects are still noticeable long after your treatment — but ULTRApulse® Alpha also transforms your complexion by significantly improving:

  • Scars
  • Acne scarring
  • Syringomas
  • Drooping eyelid skin
  • Stretch marks
  • Rough/uneven skin tone or texture
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Discoloration and hyperpigmentation

How Co2 resurfacing Laser Works: Revolutionary Resurfacing For Skin Renewal

A CO2 resurfacing treatment delivers pulses of light to the epidermis while it sends heat to the deeper layers of skin to stimulate longer-term collagen growth. We frequently combine CO2 Resurfacing laser with other treatments to offer outstanding results but with fewer treatments than if either option were used alone. If you desire a similar but less aggressive treatment, we offer a variety of chemical peels that are three to five times less intense than our CO2 Resurfacing treatment.

What Can I Expect From My Co2 Treatment?

During the procedure your clinician guides the CO2 laser over your skin. The laser simultaneously sends heat to the deeper layers of skin to provide longer-term collagen-stimulating benefits. On day five to seven skin will peel or slough off revealing new, healthy and vibrant skin underneath. In a short time, patients will notice overall skin clarity, smoothness and softness. The treatment can take anywhere from an hour to three hours depending on the areas being treated.

What Are The Side Effects?

CO2 resurfacing is considered a controlled burn. Your skin will be red, tender and in need of moisture and good skincare. We will provide you with all products to take care of your skin for your first month of recovery. You will continue the application of recommended healing products for approximately seven to ten days after your treatment. We will advise you when to resume your at-home skin care routine. For a few days following the treatment, you will need to wear protective clothing and limit sun exposure. You can start wearing make-up when your skin is clear and no longer sloughing.

What Is The Social Downtime?

Downtime is the time spent recovering from a procedure. We recommend a full seven to ten days of recovery. During this time you will need to avoid the sun and follow the full skin care regime we provide. This insures the best results possible.

How much does Co2 laser cost?

The cost of laser skin resurfacing with the ULTRApulse® Alpha laser ranges from $2,000 to $8,000 based on unique details of a patient’s treatment regimen, including:

  • The extent of your concerns
  • The areas treated (face, neck, décolletage, hands, etc.)
  • The number of sessions required to achieve your goals
  • The type of treatment performed (ActiveFX, DeepFX, TotalFX, etc.)

It is impossible to provide a personalized cost estimate without examining your concerns in person, but rest assured that our team will give you a breakdown of the total costs before treatment. We accept plastic surgery financing through CareCredit® and Alphaeon for qualified patients, ensuring individuals in West Palm Beach have access to affordable skin rejuvenation treatments.
