About CO2 laser resurfacing
CO2 Laser Resurfacing in New York City is performed by Mansher Singh, MD, FACS at 1035 Park Avenue, Suite E, New York, NY 10028. Carbon dioxide laser resurfacing removes and heats layers of skin to stimulate re-epithelialisation and dermal collagen remodelling.
The carbon dioxide laser emits at 10,600 nanometres, a wavelength strongly absorbed by water. Because skin is largely water, the energy is absorbed in a thin layer, vaporising tissue with a controlled zone of residual thermal damage below. Not usually. Light fractional treatment uses topical anesthetic. Deeper full face ablative resurfacing may use nerve blocks with intravenous sedation, and general anesthesia only when combined with surgery. Operative time runs thirty minutes to two hours.
Ablative resurfacing involves five to seven days of visible healing with oozing and crusting, followed by pink skin for two to four weeks and gradually fading redness over one to three months. General risks include post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, permanent hypopigmentation, prolonged redness, infection including herpes reactivation, scarring, lower lid ectropion when treating the eyelids, and acne or milia during healing.

How CO2 laser resurfacing is performed
- Pretreatment may include antiviral prophylaxis and, in appropriate cases, topical preparation of the skin. Photographs and settings are documented.
- Anesthesia depends on depth and area, ranging from topical anesthetic for light fractional treatment to nerve blocks with sedation for full face ablative resurfacing. Eye protection is mandatory, with corneal shields used when treating close to the lids.
- The laser is passed over the treatment area at defined density, energy, and pass count, with settings varied by region because eyelid skin, perioral skin, and the neck differ in thickness and healing capacity. A session takes thirty minutes to two hours. Occlusive ointment and a defined wound care protocol follow.
Who is a candidate
- Skin texture change, fine lines, photodamage, or acne scarring
- Fitzpatrick skin type considered, with more conservative settings at higher phototypes
- No isotretinoin use within the timeframe advised by the treating physician
- History of herpes simplex disclosed so prophylaxis can be given
Recovery timeline
| Stage | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Days 1 to 3 | Marked redness, swelling, oozing, and a burning sensation. Occlusive ointment applied continuously. |
| Days 4 to 7 | Re-epithelialisation proceeds, crusting separates, swelling decreases. |
| Weeks 2 to 4 | Skin is pink and sensitive. Makeup is generally usable once healed. Strict sun protection. |
| Months 1 to 3 | Redness fades gradually. Texture change becomes apparent. |
| Months 3 to 6 | Collagen remodelling continues and the settled result is assessed. |
Risks and complications
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, more likely in higher Fitzpatrick phototypes
- Hypopigmentation, which can be permanent and appears late
- Prolonged erythema lasting weeks to months
- Infection, including reactivation of herpes simplex and bacterial or fungal infection during healing
- Scarring, including hypertrophic scarring, particularly on the neck and around the eyes and mouth
