What is the Deka CO2 Laser?

The Deka CO2 laser is a fractional ablative laser that precisely targets the outermost layers of skin to stimulate collagen production and resurface damaged tissue. It is widely considered the gold standard for deep skin rejuvenation, especially for addressing concerns such as:

Fine lines and wrinkles
Acne scars and surgical scars
Hyperpigmentation and sun damage
Skin laxity and uneven texture

By using controlled microbeams of light, the Deka CO2 laser triggers your body’s natural healing response, encouraging healthy new skin to emerge while minimizing downtime compared to traditional resurfacing lasers.

What to Expect During Deka CO2 Laser Treatment

Before your treatment, a topical anesthetic will be applied to ensure comfort. Once your skin is numb, the provider will glide the Deka CO2 laser handpiece over the targeted areas. The treatment typically takes 30–60 minutes, depending on the size and number of areas treated.

During the procedure, you may feel a warm or prickling sensation. Following the session, your skin will appear red and slightly swollen, similar to a sunburn, which is expected as your skin begins to heal.

Deka CO2 Laser Recovery and Results

Most patients experience 5 to 7 days of visible recovery. During this time, the skin may flake or peel as the old, damaged surface gives way to fresh new skin. Redness may persist for 1 to 2 weeks but is easily managed with post-care instructions and camouflage makeup if desired. Results begin to appear as soon as the skin heals, with continued improvements in texture and tone for several months as new collagen forms. With proper skincare and sun protection, results can last for years.

Can I wear makeup after Deka CO2 laser treatment?

Is the Deka CO2 laser safe for darker skin tones?

This laser is best suited for lighter skin types due to the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. However, we offer alternative treatments that may be more appropriate for patients with deeper skin tones.

How far in advance should I plan treatment before a major event?

We recommend scheduling your treatment at least 4 to 6 weeks in advance to ensure your skin has time to fully heal and reveal optimal results.

Will I need more than one treatment?

Many patients achieve their desired results with a single treatment, but depending on your skin condition and goals, a series of sessions may be recommended. Your provider will guide you based on your unique case.

Are there any medications I should stop before treatment?

You may be advised to pause certain medications or supplements that increase bleeding risk, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or fish oil. Always consult your provider before stopping any medications.

Does the procedure require any special skin prep?

Yes, you may be asked to use a specific skincare regimen in the weeks leading up to your treatment to optimize results and reduce complications. This may include avoiding sun exposure and using prescribed topical products.

Can the Deka CO2 laser be combined with other treatments?

Absolutely. This laser is often part of a broader aesthetic plan and can be safely combined with injectables, microneedling, or other technologies to enhance your outcome. Ask your provider about creating a tailored plan.

Is there an age limit for Deka CO2 laser treatments?

There is no strict age limit. While many patients are in their 30s to 60s, younger or older individuals may benefit depending on their skin health and goals. A consultation will help determine your candidacy.
