Co2 Laser skin resurfacing is a tried and true approach to skin rejuvenation, precisely removing layers of skin to correct fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars and smooth skin, soften pucker marks, and repair skin discoloration. The results of laser resurfacing are generally quite dramatic and long-lasting.
