It’s our most powerful treatment: a full ablative CO2 laser resurfacing that delivers the most dramatic skin transformation available outside of a surgical procedure — visibly tighter, smoother, younger-looking skin, often in a single session.
The Complete Reset
Deka CO2 Total Skin Renewal is our most powerful and comprehensive treatment — a full-ablative CO2 laser resurfacing on our Deka CO2 system that delivers the most dramatic skin transformation available outside of a surgical procedure. Designed for patients with deep wrinkles, significant skin laxity, severe sun damage, or those simply ready for a complete reset, this treatment goes deeper than any other option on our menu.
The results are transformative — visibly tighter, smoother, younger-looking skin that can take years off your appearance in a single session. Plan for approximately one week of downtime as your skin heals and renews itself from within.

Here’s What You Can Count On
Step 1: Consultation
Your first appointment is a personalized consultation. Because this is our deepest treatment, your provider evaluates your skin, goals, and health history to design your treatment and recovery plan.
Step 2: Treatment
On treatment day, we thoroughly numb the treatment area to keep you comfortable while your provider performs the full CO2 resurfacing.
Step 3: Follow-Up
We stay close throughout your recovery week and beyond, making sure your healing is on track and your results develop beautifully over the following months.
Get the Most From Your Treatment
-
Avoid sun exposure and tanning for at least 2 weeks before your appointment, and wear a broad-spectrum (UVA/UVB) SPF 30+ sunscreen daily.
-
Stop retinols and other products that may dry out your skin 2-7 days before treatment, as directed by your provider.
-
Discontinue all exfoliating products (scrubs, glycolic/salicylic acids, at-home peels) 1 week before treatment.
-
Avoid aspirin and blood-thinning supplements for 7 days prior, or as directed by your provider.
-
You must be off Accutane for at least 3 months (or as directed by your provider).
-
If you have a history of cold sores, let us know — we'll have you start an antiviral medication before your treatment.
-
If you're prone to hyperpigmentation, your provider may recommend pre-treating with a melanin-suppressing (brightening) agent twice daily for 2 weeks before your visit.
-
Arrive with clean skin — no makeup, lotion, or sunscreen on the treatment area.
-
Expect redness, swelling, and a strong sunburn sensation for the first 1–3 days. Sleep with your head elevated on a clean pillowcase to minimize swelling.
-
Keep the treated skin moist at all times with the healing ointment your provider recommends — do not let it dry out or scab.
-
Your skin will peel and flake during the first week as new skin comes in. Do not pick, rub, scrub, or exfoliate — let it shed naturally.
-
Cleanse gently as directed with a mild cleanser and lukewarm water, then blot dry and reapply your healing ointment.
-
Take any prescribed medications (including antivirals) exactly as directed.
-
Use a cool misting spray or a clean, cool compress (never ice) for comfort.
-
Avoid all sun exposure during healing. Once your provider clears you, wear a mineral (zinc/titanium) SPF 30+ every day — new skin is especially vulnerable to sun for several weeks.
-
Avoid exercise, sweating, saunas, and hot tubs for at least 1 week, or as directed by your provider.
-
No makeup until your provider clears you — typically after the first week, mineral-based only.
-
Avoid retinols, acids, and active skincare until cleared — usually 2 or more weeks.
-
Call us right away with any signs of infection, unusual pain, or concerns during your recovery.
