What is
CO₂ Laser?
A CO₂ laser is a versatile medical device that emits a specific wavelength of light, primarily targeting water molecules in the skin. This precision makes it highly effective for various treatments in cosmetic and dermatological settings.
Common applications include skin resurfacing to reduce wrinkles, fine lines, and sun damage by removing the outer skin layer and scar revision to improve the appearance of scars from surgery or acne. CO₂ lasers are also used to tighten skin, excise benign lesions like moles and warts, and treat conditions such as rosacea and melasma.
Who Are the Best Candidates for CO₂ Laser?
The best candidates for CO₂ laser treatment are individuals seeking significant improvements in their skin’s appearance and health. Ideal candidates include:

What’s the First Step?
The first step to beginning your CO₂ laser treatments at Atelier Plastic Surgery with Dr. Rohit Jaiswal in Las Vegas, NV, is a consultation. Dr. Jaiswal or one of our highly trained skin aestheticians will assess your skin, discuss your specific goals, and review your medical history to determine if CO₂ laser treatment is the right choice.
On the day of your CO₂ laser treatment, you’ll start with a thorough cleanse of the treatment area, followed by a numbing cream or local anesthetic. Once the skin is prepped, the laser treatment begins, with the device moving in a controlled pattern to address each targeted area. You may feel a warm or tingling sensation lasting about 30 to 60 minutes. Afterward, a soothing cream or ointment is applied to help with the initial redness and swelling.
Right after the procedure, your skin may feel warm, appear red, and slightly swell. Over the next few days, your skin will start to peel or flake as it heals and reveals fresh layers beneath. To keep the skin hydrated, apply the recommended ointments and avoid direct sun exposure. Within one to two weeks, most of the redness and peeling will have subsided, with full results continuing to develop over several weeks as collagen production increases and the skin fully rejuvenates.
The cost of CO₂ laser treatment in Las Vegas, NV, ranges from $1,500 to $4,500 per session. The price may be lower for smaller areas, like around the eyes or mouth, while full-face or more extensive treatments are often higher.
Keep in mind that a series of treatments may be recommended for optimal results, which can affect the total cost. It’s a good idea to consult with Dr. Jaiswal to discuss pricing.

CO₂ Laser FAQs
Is CO₂ Laser Painful?
CO₂ laser treatments can cause some discomfort, but the intensity depends on the depth and area treated. Most describe the sensation as similar to a warm, prickling feeling, which can be a bit uncomfortable during the treatment. To help manage this, practitioners typically use a numbing cream or local anesthesia for smaller areas and may even offer sedation for more extensive procedures.
How Many Appointments Will I Need?
The number of CO₂ laser appointments you’ll need varies based on your skin goals and the intensity of the treatment. Many see significant results after just one session, particularly for deeper treatments targeting scars or wrinkles. However, a series of two to three sessions spaced a few months apart may be recommended for more extensive or gradual improvements—like improving skin texture or treating mild discoloration.
How Long Until I See the Results?
Results from a CO₂ laser treatment can be seen relatively quickly, with initial improvements often visible as soon as one to two weeks after your session. As your skin heals and regenerates during this period, you’ll likely notice a smoother texture and more even tone. Full results typically develop over the following three to six months as collagen continues to rebuild, giving you a progressively refreshed, youthful look.
Can I Combine a CO₂ Laser with Other Procedures?
Yes, CO₂ laser treatments can often be safely paired with other treatments, such as injectables or chemical peels, to address skin texture and volume loss or other cosmetic surgeries, such as a facelift, for a comprehensive approach to complete facial rejuvenation.
What Are the Risks Associated with a CO₂ Laser?
Common CO₂ laser treatment side effects include redness, swelling, sensitivity, pigmentation changes, scarring, and infection. To minimize these risks, schedule a consultation with Dr. Jaiswal in Las Vegas, NV.
