The length of your session will depend on the size of the treatment area. For small areas, we can usually complete your session in 30 to 60 minutes. For larger areas, we may take up to 2 hours to make sure we evenly administer the laser over every area.

Enjoy a Multi-Layered Approach to Skincare
Your skin is subjected to all kinds of wear, ranging from sun exposure to gravity to acne and more. Over time, these factors can leave their mark, aging your skin and impacting your confidence.
The Cosmetic Plastic Surgery and Wellness Club of Maryland is here to help with our innovative SmartSkin CO2 laser skin resurfacing. With our CO2 laser in Baltimore, we can reverse the signs of aging and address concerns deep within the skin, all without invasive surgery or prolonged downtime.
What CO2 Skin Resurfacing Treatments
How CO2 Skin Resurfacing Works
Our SmartSkin laser is an ablative laser, meaning that it removes the outermost layer of skin to reveal the fresh inner layers. Simultaneously, the heat from the laser stimulates the production of skin-tightening collagen within your body.
Over time, this fresh skin and increased collagen work to clear up your complexion and tighten it to relieve wrinkles and improve your tone.

Our Process
-
Before your treatment, you’ll meet with our expert team to discuss your skincare goals and make sure that our CO2 laser in Baltimore is right for you.
-
For your session, we’ll start by applying a topical numbing cream. Once the cream has taken effect, we will administer the laser evenly over your treatment area.
-
You may experience some mild discomfort after your session, but this should dissipate soon after treatment. Throughout your treatment plan, your skin will gradually improve in the weeks following your sessions.

Preparing for treatment
Minimize your sun exposure and avoid tanning beds in the weeks leading up to treatment.
Stop taking any medications that cause photosensitivity (with prior approval from your primary care provider).
Let us know if you have any questions about your treatment.
After your session
Avoid harsh cleansers and skin exfoliation in the days following your session to help your skin heal as quickly as possible.
Get plenty of rest and refrain from irritating your skin as it heals from the CO2 laser.
Refrain from any strenuous activity or exercise for several days after your session.
