We Are “Laser-Focused” on Correcting Skin Problems!
Life is tough on your skin! Aging, sun exposure, diet, genetics, and lifestyle habits can rob your skin of its youthful vibrance. It’s frustrating, to say the least, but now there’s a revolutionary and “enlightened” way to repair and restore your skin. It’s called CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing, available now at Allura MedSpa + Wellness.
CO2 laser skin resurfacing is a proven and minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that can successfully treat a broad spectrum of skin problems and concerns using carbon dioxide (CO2) combined with a specialized and highly-focused laser to smooth your skin while reducing or eliminating dermal flaws.
The technique directs beams of light at skin irregularities, removing the outer layer of skin while heating the lower layers of skin. As a result, damaged skin cells are vaporized at the surface level while the production of foundational collagen is stimulated and increased. The laser is specially calibrated to precisely remove as much skin as needed. As the outer layer of skin heals, the treated skin becomes clearer, firmer, and smoother.
You may be a particularly good candidate if you are concerned about wrinkles around your forehead or mouth or shallow scarring from acne. Also, you should be in good general health.
However, be aware that CO2 laser resurfacing is not for everybody. Disqualifiers include:
Tell your doctor if you have a history of heavy scarring or have recurring outbreaks of cold sores.
We use state-of-the-art DEKA SmartXide Tetra CO2 Laser technology, which has the ability to perform a wide range of treatments with unparalleled precision and versatility.
Also, ask about our fractional ablative CO2 laser, designed to treat very small and tightly targeted areas, thus reducing downtime.
Be prepared to answer questions about your medical history and disclose all medications and supplements you are taking. Talk about your realistic goals and expectations and have a thorough conversation about possible risks and side effects.
We are proud that highly-trained, experienced, and personable Aesthetic Physician Associates Brooke Boland and Darah Wenzowski direct and perform our CO2 laser resurfacing treatments.
If you smoke, you will be directed to stop for a specified period before and after your procedure. It is also crucial to avoid excessive sun exposure and to use a high-SPF sunscreen (SPF 30 or greater) daily and diligently.
CO2 laser resurfacing is an outpatient procedure that varies in length according to the extent and locations of your treatment. It is usually performed under a topically applied local anesthetic.
For small areas of your face, treatment will take up to 45 minutes. A full-face co2 laser skin resurfacing treatment can last up to two hours.
Following your procedure, your provider may apply dressings to your face and instruct you about when they should be removed. You can go home after your treatment, but be sure you have arranged for a driver.
Immediately following your treatment, your skin will be swollen, itchy, and raw. Your initial healing will typically take between 3 and 14 days. Avoid picking at or scrubbing your treated areas. Gentle washing only, please, and make sure you follow your provider’s post-procedure directions to a “t.” That includes daily use of a high-quality sunscreen.
The results of your co2 laser skin resurfacing treatment may take several months to be fully realized. Surveys indicate a very high rate of patient satisfaction, with wrinkles improving by as much as 80 percent in many people.

Pain perception varies from person to person, but most Boynton beach co2 laser skin resurfacing patients report only a slight snapping sensation much like that produced by a rubber band as the laser is moved over their faces. Over-the-counter drugs are typically sufficient for pain management, but stronger medication may be prescribed as appropriate.
All procedures carry risks, including infection, skin color changes, complications from anesthesia, and allergic reactions to medications or materials.
Acne flares have been reported, and reactivation of a cold sore may occur.
People with darker skin tones indeed have an elevated risk of healing with darker pigmentation. Talk to your provider during your consultation about your expectations to see if this procedure is right for you.
Yes, including facelift, brow lift, eyelid surgery, and dermal fillers.
Since CO2 laser resurfacing is a cosmetic procedure, your insurance will not cover the costs.
That will depend on the number and locations of your treated areas.
Recent data compiled by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons places the average cost of CO2 laser skin resurfacing between $1,200 and $2,200.
Make sure you have a thorough discussion about costs with your provider before your procedure.
