CO2RE Skin Tightening In Irvine, CA
CO2RE Laser Resurfacing Skin Treatment
CO2RE Skin Tightening is an advanced laser treatment designed to rejuvenate and tighten skin on the face and body. This treatment uses fractional technology to resurface the skin, making it a versatile option for those seeking improvement in skin tone, texture, and overall appearance. During the procedure, the CO2RE laser creates microscopic channels in the outer layer of the skin (epidermis) and penetrates the deeper dermis layer. The laser energy then converts to heat, triggering the body’s natural healing response. This process stimulates collagen production, which thickens and tightens the skin while also reducing the appearance of wrinkles, scars, and hyperpigmentation. At New Look Skin Center in Irvine, CA, CO2RE Skin Tightening is an effective solution for anyone looking to address signs of aging or skin imperfections without the need for invasive surgery.
CO2RE Skin Tightening in Irvine, CA, is ideal for individuals seeking to minimize wrinkles, smooth out skin texture, and reduce scars and pigmentation. The treatment suits various skin types and can be used on multiple areas, including the face, neck, and décolletage. Patients typically begin to see improvements within a few weeks, with full results developing over several months as collagen production continues. Results can last up to a year or more, depending on the individual’s skin and lifestyle. To maintain the best results, periodic touch-ups are recommended. If you’re considering CO2RE Skin Tightening, book an appointment today at New Look Skin Center in Irvine, CA, to explore how this treatment can help you achieve smoother, tighter, and more youthful-looking skin.
How does CO2RE Skin Tightening Work?
CO2RE Skin Tightening uses a fractional CO2 laser to create tiny microchannels on the skin’s surface. This laser technology penetrates the outer layer of the skin (epidermis) and reaches the deeper layer (dermis). When the laser energy enters the dermis, it is converted into heat, which triggers the body’s natural healing process. The body perceives this heat as a minor injury and responds by rapidly producing new collagen and elastin fibers to “repair” the skin.
This increased collagen production helps thicken and tighten skin, improving elasticity and texture while minimizing wrinkles, scars, and other imperfections. The microchannels created by the laser also stimulate cell renewal, which leads to smoother, more youthful-looking skin. The treatment is designed to deliver significant benefits while requiring minimal downtime, making it the right choice for people looking to rejuvenate their skin without surgery.
CO2RE is used to treat skin on the face and various areas on the body. It uses the latest in fractional technology to resurface the skin on the treatment areas. This isn’t ablative resurfacing where the laser energy removes a layer of skin. This is fractional resurfacing, where the laser energy creates hundreds of microscopic channels through the outer epidermis layer of the skin down into the second layer, the dermis. When the laser light energy enters the dermis, it instantly converts to heat. When the body senses heat in the dermis, it assumes there has been a wound. It responds with a wound healing response (even though the hundreds of tiny punctures heal completely within just a few hours) where collagen across the treatment area is instantly remodeled, and the production of new collagen and healthy skin cells is initiated to “heal” the wounds. This boost in collagen and cell production continues for a period of many weeks, thickening and tightening the skin, and diminishing the appearance of all kinds of skin damage, from deep wrinkles to areas of hyperpigmentation.

These treatments are ideal for anyone seeking younger-looking skin with the long downtime associated with conventional ablative laser skin resurfacing. Basically, anyone over the age of 40 could benefit from the increased collagen production and new skin cells that are produced after these treatments.
How many CO2RE laser resurfacing treatments will I need?
These fractional laser resurfacing treatments are meant to be single treatments. You’ll see dramatic skin improvement as the body responds to the hundreds (or thousands if you’re treating larger areas of the body) of microscopic wounds created in the skin.
How long is a CO2RE session?
These fractional laser resurfacing sessions usually take from 1 hour up to 3 hours, depending on the areas being treated.
Is there any downtime after a CO2RE treatment?
There really isn’t any downtime or need to change your activities. After your CO2RE treatment your skin will look as if you have a sunburn and it will feel a little tight. The fractional channels will fully heal within just a few hours. There is a possibility of some redness and swelling for a few hours after your treatment. You will likely have some light peeling across the treatment areas for a week to 10 days. This is simply the body shedding the old, dead skin and replacing it with new cells.
