It typically takes around 3 to 6 months before you will be able to experience the final results of a CO2 laser resurfacing treatment. However, you will likely start to notice visible changes in the skin several weeks following the treatment which will continue to improve until the final desired results are attained. This may seem like a longer timeline, but it takes a while for collagen production to continue ramping up to completely smooth out the texture and tones of the skin, and while there is an increase in collagen production, it also takes some time for the new layers of skin to regenerate. You will be fully healed from the treatment within the first week or two following the treatment, only experiencing mild redness or irritation during that time. Within the first month or two you will be able to start noticing your skin appearing brighter and healthier, and the fine lines and wrinkles gradually fading.
