Looking for CO2 laser resurfacing in Richmond Hill? It is our most powerful resurfacing treatment for acne scars, wrinkles and sun-damaged skin.
Fractional CO2 laser creates thousands of tiny treatment columns in the skin, removing damaged outer layers while leaving healthy skin in between to speed healing. The heat also tells deeper layers to build new collagen.
It is the strongest resurfacing option we offer, so it needs a careful skin assessment. Settings are tailored to your skin type, the area and how much downtime you can take.
CO2 is our strongest option within cosmetic dermatology. It anchors many acne scar plans and sun damage treatment. If you need less downtime or have darker skin, RF microneedling is often the better first step, and PRP can support healing.
Rolling and boxcar scars.
Including around the eyes and mouth.
Rough texture and uneven tone.
Overall smoother skin.
Treatment takes 30 to 60 minutes after about an hour of numbing cream.
We may start you on skincare and, if you get cold sores, an antiviral.
After numbing cream, the laser passes over the area in sections.
Skin is red and peels over about a week while new skin forms.
Your fractional CO2 laser treatment is planned and followed up by a dermatology clinic. Meet our team →
We adjust depth and density to your skin type and goals.
Antiviral and skincare prep reduce the risk of complications.

Who CO2 resurfacing suits, how to prepare, what happens on the day and how your skin heals.
A good fit if:
Talk to us first if:
Numbing cream is applied for about an hour. The laser then passes over the area in sections, and most people describe the feeling as warm snapping.
You will see smoother skin once peeling ends, and results keep improving for 3 to 6 months as collagen rebuilds. Sun protection helps keep them.
We go through the risks for your skin type at your consultation.

Most patients need about 5 to 7 days for redness and peeling to settle, with pinkness that fades over a few weeks.
Numbing cream is applied for about an hour first, and most people describe the treatment as warm snapping. Afterward the skin feels like a sunburn for a few days.
Many patients need 1 to 3 treatments, depending on the concern and how deep it is. Deeper acne scars may need more than one session, which we plan at your consultation.
Darker skin types have a higher risk of pigment change after CO2 laser. We assess your skin type carefully and may suggest a gentler option, such as RF microneedling, instead.
You need to avoid sun exposure before and after treatment, so many patients choose the fall or winter months. Whatever the season, daily sunscreen is needed while your skin heals.
The cost depends on the area treated, the depth of treatment and how many sessions you need. We confirm pricing at your consultation and give you a written plan and quote before treatment. Cosmetic treatments are not covered by OHIP.
CO2 laser can soften fine lines and wrinkles, including around the eyes and mouth, and results keep improving for 3 to 6 months. It does not stop new expression lines forming, so some patients also add Botox or Dysport.
Most patients can wear makeup once the skin has healed and pinkness is fading, usually in weeks 2 to 4. We confirm when it is safe at your follow-up.
Yes. CO2 laser is one of our main options for rolling and boxcar acne scars and anchors many acne scar plans. It is sometimes staged with RF microneedling for the best result.
Avoid sun exposure, picking or scratching the crusting, and skin irritants such as retinol for 7 to 10 days. Skip saunas and hard exercise for 1 to 2 weeks, and ask us before restarting your usual skincare.
We’ll assess your skin and give you a written plan and quote. Cosmetic treatments are not covered by OHIP.
