Erbium, Co2, and Fracational Co2 Lasers

Laser Skin Resurfacing

Laser resurfacing treatments improve wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, and signs of aging, while stimulating collagen production and tightening the skin.  Our laser resurfacing treatments include CO2 Fractional (provided by our Laser Technicians) and CO2 Full Ablative Laser Resurfacing (provided by our physicians), known as the gold standard for wrinkle reduction.

What Is Laser Skin Resurfacing?

Laser skin resurfacing works by first removing the outer layers of dead skin.  Any sun damage, pre-cancerous growths, age spots, or other surface imperfections are reduced and smoothed out. Second, as the laser moves across the skin’s surface, wrinkles and sagging skin are pulled up and tightened. Finally, the laser tightens as well as stimulates the matrix of the skin, and a new collagen layer forms within the skin increasing its thickness and elasticity. After resurfacing, newly treated skin cells viewed under a microscope appear younger and rejuvenated. When compared to traditional plastic surgery, laser resurfacing gives patients a more natural appearance.

We offer Fractional CO2 (provided by our Laser Technicians), Erbium, and CO2 Full Ablative (provided by our physicians) laser resurfacing treatments. Co2 Laser treatments are considered to be the gold standard in wrinkle removal and Erbium treatments are commonly performed with facelifts. Laser skin resurfacing treatments can take more than 10 years off your appearance in just one treatment.

CO2 Fractional Laser vs. CO2 Full Ablative Laser Resurfacing

CO2 Fractional Laser Resurfacing is provided by our Licensed Laser Technicians, and the downtime is 5-7 days of healing. It improves fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, skin texture, and hyperpigmentation.

CO2 Full Ablative Laser Resurfacing is provided by our physicians either under sedation in conjunction with a surgical procedure or under local anesthesia if you’re looking to treat only one area of the face. CO2 Full Ablative Laser Resurfacing removes the outer layer of the skin to penetrate deep into the dermis. The full ablative laser is highly effective in treating deeper wrinkles, significant sun damage, skin texture, and more.  Initial healing downtime can take up to two weeks or more and you may experienced redness, peeling, and swelling for several days or weeks after treatment.

How Much Does Laser Skin Resurfacing Cost?

A personal, complimentary consultation with our laser technician is the first step to determining the cost of your laser skin resurfacing treatment. Because every individual’s skin and treatment goals are different, pricing can vary based on the extent of treatment needed. During this meeting, our licensed laser technician will assess your skin and recommend the best options. Schedule your consultation today!

We offer Co2 Laser Skin Resurfacing treatments only at our Illume Milwaukee location. We offer Erbium laser skin resurfacing at our Illume Milwaukee and Waukesha locations. 

More About co2 Fractional Laser

CO2 Fractional Laser resurfacing treats skin conditions such as wrinkles, scars, enlarged oil glands on the nose (rhinophyma), and other conditions. The newest version of the CO2 laser resurfacing uses very short pulsed light energy (ultrapulsed) or continuous light beams that are delivered in a scanning pattern to very precisely remove thin layers of skin with minimal heat damage to the surrounding structures. Recovery time from the procedure is up to two weeks for makeup application.
