What is a CO2 Laser Resurfacing?
CO2 laser resurfacing is the most powerful ablative laser treatment, removing the outer layers of skin to dramatically improve deep wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, and texture. Because it works deeper than gentler lasers, it delivers the most significant results — with the most downtime.
Expect 5 to 10 days of redness, peeling, and oozing as the skin heals, followed by pinkness that fades over weeks. Most people need only one treatment for a major change, though milder fractional CO2 can be done in a light series.
CO2 carries a higher pigmentation risk for deeper skin tones, so an experienced provider and careful candidacy assessment are essential.
How much does a CO2 Laser Resurfacing cost in San Diego?
CO2 laser resurfacing in San Diego typically costs $1,800 to $4,800 per treatment, depending on whether it is a full ablative or lighter fractional CO2 and the area treated.

Frequently asked questions
How much does CO2 laser resurfacing cost in San Diego?
CO2 laser resurfacing in San Diego typically costs $1,800 to $4,800 per treatment. Lighter fractional CO2 sits at the lower end, while deep full-ablative resurfacing costs more.
How much downtime is there after CO2 laser?
Plan for 5 to 10 days of redness, peeling, and oozing as the skin heals, followed by pinkness that fades over several weeks. Full-ablative CO2 has more downtime than fractional CO2.
Is CO2 laser safe for darker skin?
CO2 carries a higher risk of pigment changes on deeper skin tones. It can sometimes be done safely with careful settings and pretreatment, but many providers recommend gentler options like Fraxel or Clear + Brilliant for darker skin. A consultation is essential.
How is CO2 laser different from Fraxel?
CO2 is more aggressive and delivers bigger results with more downtime, often in a single session. Fraxel is gentler with less downtime but usually needs a series. Your provider can match the laser to your goals and tolerance for recovery.
