By targeting the skin’s deeper layers, CO2 laser resurfacing stimulates the body’s own collagen production and removes damaged tissue, producing smoother texture, improved tone, and lasting rejuvenation that builds over time.
Shanon Crisp, MSN, APRN, FNP-C, offers these treatments at RX MD Solutions MedSpa in Plano, TX. With hands-on expertise and access to the industry-leading Alma Hybrid platform, RX MD Solutions brings clinical precision and a personalized approach to every CO2 laser treatment.
What is CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing?
CO2 laser skin resurfacing is one of the most effective treatments available for improving skin texture, reducing wrinkles, and correcting acne scars and sun damage. At RX MD Solutions in Plano, TX, we perform advanced fractional CO2 laser resurfacing using the Alma Hybrid platform to deliver powerful results with customizable precision.
Unlike traditional CO2 lasers that rely on aggressive resurfacing alone, Alma Hybrid combines ablative CO2 energy with non-ablative laser technology to stimulate deeper collagen remodeling while allowing for more controlled recovery. This means smoother skin, improved tone, and long-term rejuvenation with a personalized approach tailored to your goals.
Issues CO2 Laser Resurfacing Can Treat
CO2 laser resurfacing is ideal for patients looking to address:
-
Fine lines and wrinkles
-
Acne scars and surgical scars
-
Sun damage and uneven pigmentation
-
Rough skin texture
-
Enlarged pores
-
Skin laxity
-
Crepey or aging skin
How Alma Hybrid CO2 Laser Works
The Alma Hybrid platform allows us to customize the depth, density, and intensity of your treatment. The fractional CO2 component resurfaces the skin’s surface layers, while the non-ablative 1570nm laser penetrates deeper to stimulate collagen without fully removing tissue.
This dual approach allows us to:
-
Improve results
-
Customize downtime
-
Treat delicate areas with precision
-
Enhance long-term collagen remodeling
Every treatment begins with a consultation to evaluate your skin type, concerns, and lifestyle so we can design a treatment plan that aligns with your goals.
What to Expect During Treatment
CO2 laser resurfacing is performed in-office. We apply topical numbing prior to treatment and, for enhanced comfort, offer Pro-Nox nitrous oxide. Most treatments take 30 to 60 minutes depending on the area treated.
What Happens After Your CO2 Laser Appointment
After your CO2 laser skin resurfacing treatment, your skin will begin its natural healing and regeneration process. You can expect redness, warmth, and mild swelling similar to a moderate sunburn for the first few days. Depending on the depth of your treatment, you may experience light peeling or flaking as damaged surface cells shed and fresh skin emerges.
During this time, it is essential to follow your post-treatment care instructions, including gentle cleansing, hydration, sun protection, and avoiding active skincare products until cleared by your provider. As collagen production increases over the following weeks and months, patients typically notice smoother texture, improved tone, reduced fine lines, and continued skin tightening. Results continue to improve as the skin remodels beneath the surface.
How Many CO2 Laser Sessions Will I Need?
The number of CO2 laser resurfacing sessions needed depends on your skin concerns, treatment depth, and desired outcome. Some patients achieve noticeable improvement after a single, more intensive treatment. Others may benefit from a series of lighter treatments spaced several weeks apart to gradually build collagen and minimize downtime.
During your consultation at Rx MD Solutions in Plano, TX, we evaluate your skin condition, scar depth, and overall goals to determine the appropriate treatment plan. Because Alma Hybrid allows for highly customized settings, we can tailor both intensity and frequency to align with your lifestyle and expectations.
