The laser removes damaged surface skin in precise columns while heating the layers beneath, prompting your skin to rebuild with fresh collagen. Wrinkles soften, sun spots lift, scars smooth, and tone evens — correction, not camouflage.
Palmetto Bay’s Quiet Answer to Visible Aging
South Florida is generous with its sunshine and unsentimental about what it does to skin. If years of boat days, ballfields, and backyard afternoons have begun to show — etched lines, sun spots, a texture makeup no longer smooths — CO2 laser resurfacing in Palmetto Bay is the treatment that reverses it rather than temporarily disguising it. Skin Plus Beauty sits minutes away in neighboring Pinecrest, where our licensed specialists perform every treatment on the Deka CO2 platform — precise, adjustable, and chosen for one reason: results our neighbors can see.
One Laser, Three Levels of Renewal
Not every face needs a full reset, and we would never prescribe one that doesn’t. The Deka CO2 platform lets us calibrate depth to your skin and your calendar. For fine lines, dullness, and early sun damage, a gentle CoolPeel session delivers real CO2 resurfacing with little to no downtime. For deeper wrinkles, acne scarring, and pronounced sun damage, our Total Skin Renewal treatment works at full ablative depth. And when you want meaningful change without clearing your calendar, Fusion pairs surface resurfacing with deep collagen remodeling in a single visit. Curious about the deepest option? Our CO2 Laser Resurfacing in Pinecrest page walks through full renewal in detail.

Here’s What You Can Count On
Step 1: Consultation
Your specialist maps your skin’s sun history and texture concerns, then recommends the right depth — CoolPeel, Fusion, or full renewal — with honest guidance on downtime.
Step 2: Treatment
Numbing cream and a carefully controlled Deka CO2 pass; deeper treatments take under an hour, and your comfort is managed throughout.
Step 3: Recovery & Reveal
We send you home with a complete recovery plan and stay in touch. As healing finishes, fresh collagen keeps improving your results for 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 while your skin heals; once your specialist clears you, daily SPF 30+ is non-negotiable after your CO2 laser resurfacing in Palmetto Bay appointment.
-
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on depth. A CoolPeel needs little to none. Fusion asks for a day or two of pinkness. Full Total Skin Renewal is a genuine reset — about a week of social downtime while new skin surfaces. We tell you exactly what to expect before you commit.
Different tools for different goals. Significant scarring and deep wrinkles respond best to full-depth work; earlier sun damage often resolves beautifully over a series of lighter sessions. Your consultation settles it honestly.
We numb thoroughly before every treatment. Most clients describe deep resurfacing as intense warmth rather than pain, and lighter treatments as a prickling heat. Your comfort is managed the entire visit.
Once peeling finishes, you’ll see brighter, smoother skin within the first two weeks — and because collagen rebuilds slowly, results keep improving for three to six months after your session.
Minutes away, in neighboring Pinecrest — most Palmetto Bay clients reach us in under ten minutes. Closer than a causeway drive downtown, with far easier parking.
Many clients reach their goal in a single full-depth session, while others prefer a short series of lighter treatments. After reviewing your skin, we recommend only what will actually move the needle — never more.
