Laser Resurfacing - UltraPulse Fractional CO2
Reduce Wrinkles and Tighten Skin
If you’re looking for a powerful way to improve skin texture, wrinkles, scars and signs of aging, UltraPulse fractional CO2 laser resurfacing offers long-lasting results. At Contour Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery Center, we use the UltraPulse fractional CO2 system for advanced skin resurfacing and rejuvenation.
Customized Treatments for You
The UltraPulse Fractional CO2 is one of the most advanced and flexible CO2 laser systems available today. It offers fractional resurfacing with two interchangeable handpieces, allowing your provider to tailor the depth and intensity of treatment to your specific needs. We offer various treatment options:
- ActiveFX: This option is best for targeting fine lines, mild wrinkles, uneven skin tone, enlarged or clogged pores and blackheads.
- DeepFX: The Lumenis Deep FX is designed for deeper concerns such as pronounced wrinkles, folds and scars.
- TotalFX: A combined approach that blends both ActiveFX and DeepFX to treat concerns at multiple skin depths for more comprehensive rejuvenation.
- MaxFX: Similar to traditional CO2 resurfacing but less aggressive, MaxFX is effective for correcting more significant discoloration, deeper wrinkles and scarring.

What to Expect During the Treatment
Before your session, you’ll have a consultation with our team to help determine your goals and develop a treatment plan. Your UltraPulse procedure is performed by our experienced dermatology team using advanced safety protocols. To enhance your comfort, a topical numbing or local anesthesia is applied.
You may feel warmth or a prickling sensation as the laser passes across your skin. Most sessions last 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the area being treated.
Recovery and Healing Timeline
There are some recovery stages you need to know about:
- Week one: Expect red, swollen skin due to your body’s natural inflammatory response, followed by peeling and skin shedding as the resurfacing process reveals new, healthier skin.
- Week two: While the deeper layers heal, your skin will remain pink or red after the initial peeling stage. Your skin may be tight and sensitive and require intense sun protection to promote healing.
- Weeks three to four: The redness will fade, and you may be able to apply makeup at this point as collagen production and deeper healing continue.
- Weeks four to six: Most of the redness will subside, while your skin may still feel slightly tender.
Patients may want to resume social activities or return to work within one to two weeks while the initial healing stages take place.
When Will I See Results?
While some patients notice improvement within a few weeks, more dramatic results continue to develop over the next three to six months as new collagen forms.
UltraPulse CO2 results are long-lasting, especially when paired with sun protection and a customized skincare regimen. Some patients only need one treatment, while others may benefit from touch-up sessions depending on the severity of their concerns.
