CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing in Studio City
CO2 laser treatment targets wrinkles, scars, and discoloration by removing damaged skin layers and stimulating collagen renewal for smoother, more even-toned skin.
Renew Your Skin with CO2 Laser Resurfacing
CO2 laser resurfacing is a powerful skin rejuvenation treatment that uses precise laser energy to remove damaged outer layers of skin and trigger deep collagen remodeling.
It’s ideal for improving the appearance of fine lines, deep wrinkles, acne scars, surgical scars, and sun damage. By creating controlled micro-injuries, the treatment encourages the body to replace old skin with healthier, tighter, and more even skin over time. For gentler resurfacing options, we also offer chemical peels in Studio City, BioRePeel microneedling and microneedling with PRP.
While the results can be dramatic, the procedure is customizable, allowing for lighter treatments with minimal downtime or deeper treatments for more intensive repair. The outcome is firmer, smoother skin with improved texture and clarity. If you prefer the lighter end of that spectrum, ask about CoolPeel CO2 with minimal downtime, or pair your treatment with Endolift skin tightening for added lift.

FAQ
CO2 laser treatment is a type of skin resurfacing procedure that uses a high-energy beam of laser light to remove damaged skin cells and stimulate collagen production, resulting in smoother, more youthful-looking skin.
The CO2 laser emits a wavelength of light that is absorbed by water in the skin cells, causing them to vaporize. This process removes the outer layers of damaged skin and promotes collagen remodeling, leading to skin tightening and rejuvenation.
CO2 laser treatment can effectively improve the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, uneven pigmentation, sun damage, and skin laxity.
Discomfort during CO2 laser treatment can vary depending on the individual’s pain tolerance and the depth of the treatment. Topical anesthesia or local anesthesia may be applied to numb the skin and minimize discomfort during the procedure.
The downtime after CO2 laser treatment can range from several days to a couple of weeks, depending on the depth of the treatment and individual healing factors. Patients may experience redness, swelling, and peeling during the recovery period.
Here’s a detailed breakdown of the downtime per day following CO2 laser resurfacing:
Day 1:
Immediately after the CO2 laser treatment, you’ll likely experience significant redness, swelling, and a sensation similar to a sunburn in the treated area. The skin may also ooze or weep, and there might be some discomfort.
Your healthcare provider may apply a soothing ointment or dressing to the treated area to help alleviate these symptoms. It’s crucial to keep the skin clean and moist with aquaphor or vaseline and avoid touching or picking at the treated area to prevent infection.
Day 2-3:
Redness and swelling may peak on the second or third day post-treatment. You may notice some crusting or scabbing forming over the treated skin as it begins to heal. It’s essential to keep the skin moisturized and hydrated during this time to promote healing and prevent excessive dryness or tightness.
You may also need to continue applying prescribed ointments or aquaphor to the treated area as directed by your healthcare provider.
Day 4-7:
By the fourth to seventh day, the majority of the swelling and redness should start to subside, although some residual pinkness may persist. The treated skin may continue to feel tight, dry, or itchy as the outermost layers peel or flake off. It’s essential to resist the urge to pick or scratch at the peeling skin to avoid scarring or complications. You may be advised to use gentle cleansers and moisturizers specifically formulated for post-laser skin care to support the healing process.
Beyond a week:
Beyond the first week, your skin will continue to improve gradually, with optimal results typically becoming apparent within several weeks to months post-treatment.
The new skin that emerges will be smoother, firmer, and more even in tone and texture.
It’s crucial to protect your skin from sun exposure by wearing sunscreen and avoiding direct sunlight, as newly healed skin can be more susceptible to damage.
Follow any post-treatment instructions provided by your healthcare provider and attend follow-up appointments as recommended to monitor your progress and ensure proper healing.
Good candidates for CO2 laser treatment are generally healthy individuals who have realistic expectations about the results and understand the potential risks associated with the procedure. It’s essential to consult with a qualified provider to determine if CO2 laser treatment is right for you.
The results of CO2 laser treatment can be long-lasting, especially with proper skincare maintenance and sun protection. However, additional treatments may be recommended periodically to maintain the desired results over time.
Patients are typically advised to wait until the skin has fully healed before applying makeup after CO2 laser treatment. This may take several days to a week, depending on the depth of the treatment and individual healing factors. On average we ask patients to wait one week before make up application.
These are some common questions and answers about CO2 laser treatment. It’s important to consult with a qualified healthcare provider or dermatologist to discuss your individual needs and determine if CO2 laser treatment is the right option for you.

I had my CO2 laser treatment at Toniik today and had such a great experience! MJ made me feel completely relaxed and comfortable throughout the entire process. I’m already super excited to see my results. I truly love this place — everyone that works here are incredibly sweet and welcoming. The space itself is trendy, cute. I always enjoy coming here and highly recommend Toniik! Love you MJ see you soon

Not only do my fillers and Botox always look exactly how I want, but my skin looks healthier than it ever has. I never wanted to do micro-needling because of the downtime I always had to deal with but MJ suggested using the C02 Carboxy mask right after my session and some time under the red light and I couldn’t believe how little redness and puffiness there was after. I use the Carboxy mask once a week now and my skin feels so good after. So grateful for MJ and her staff!

This is long over due and MJ deserves more than 5 stars. She has been amazing for the past few years ever since I found her on IG. I've had laser treatments, peels and she provided me with the most amazing skin care that have helped keep my melasma away. I started with the sunscreen which I do apply every 2 hrs when I'm outside or on vacation.

Let me start off by saying that I am an avid, beauty and wellness procedure consumer. I started my journey 10 years ago with fillers, botox, kybella, cool scultp, morpheus8, peels, microneedling and so on. I met MJ about 3 years ago and I was absolutely impressed by her professionalism, her knowledge and technique. When she opened her own beauty Med Spa, TONIIK, I ran over there to get the Best procedure possible, the CO2/COOL peel laser facial resurfacing.

MJ has recommended skin profucts for me, such as the Alpharet clearing serum and the skinbetter peel pads, and it has transformed my skin! My skin looks and feels amazing! She is the only person I trust with my face, even when it comes to injections/botox. I would highly recommend her to anyone and everyone!!!

I have done Morpheus and Botox. I have great results. They called to ask me how my procedures are doing instead of me calling they call me. Everybody is respectful and kind which is needed for people to feel comfortable and more at ease. I was also, given a product that helps my pores on my nose decrease which is a great product. MJ cares about her clients.

I’ve been a client of MJ for the past year and she has helped evolve my facial balancing as well as addressing skin aging and helping with my health goals. I have referred family and my closest friends to her knowing they are in the best hands. Recently MJ was out of town and went to someone else and it was a terrible mistake! I told her I would never cheat on her again!! She had to correct what another injector messed up and it’s been a process.
