About This Treatment

What Is CO2 Laser Resurfacing?

CO2 laser resurfacing is widely regarded as the most effective non-surgical treatment for reversing visible signs of aging, sun damage, and scarring. Using fractional carbon dioxide laser energy, the procedure creates thousands of microscopic treatment zones in the skin, triggering a powerful natural healing response that produces new, healthy collagen and elastin.

At IRIS Aesthetics in Longmont, CO, Dr. Adrianna Jensen performs all CO2 laser treatments personally using the advanced Helix platform. Unlike many practices where technicians operate the laser, having a board-certified oculoplastic surgeon at the controls means precise energy delivery tailored to your unique skin anatomy, concerns, and goals.

The result? Dramatically smoother, firmer, more even-toned skin that continues improving for months after treatment as new collagen forms beneath the surface.

About CO2 laser resurfacing in Longmont, CO

CO2 laser resurfacing uses fractional carbon dioxide laser energy to remove damaged outer layers of skin, stimulating collagen production and revealing smoother, younger-looking skin. It's the most effective non-surgical option for wrinkles, scars, and sun damage.
CoolPeel is a gentle, fractional treatment with 1–3 days recovery, ideal for skin refreshing. Helix Fusion offers moderate-depth resurfacing (5–7 days recovery) for wrinkles and scars. Helix Sultra is the deepest option (7–10 days) for significant concerns, and is uniquely safe for all skin tones.
Pricing ranges from approximately $500 for CoolPeel to $2,000+ for full-face Helix Sultra, depending on treatment tier, area, and sessions. We offer complimentary consultations to create a personalized plan and transparent pricing.
CoolPeel: 1–3 days of light redness. Helix Fusion: 5–7 days with moderate peeling. Helix Sultra: 7–10 days. Most patients return to normal activities within 1–2 weeks. Full collagen improvement continues for 3–6 months.
Traditional CO2 lasers carry higher risk for darker skin. However, the Helix Sultra platform at IRIS Aesthetics is specifically designed for all skin tones (Fitzpatrick I–VI), making advanced resurfacing accessible to everyone.
