CO2RE Fractional Laser
CO2RE fractional CO2 laser for wrinkles, sun damage, scars, and skin texture — customizable resurfacing at our dermatologist-led practice in Leland, NC.
About CO2RE Fractional Laser
CO2RE is the fractional CO2 laser platform we use at Intracoastal Dermatology for skin resurfacing. It delivers laser energy in a grid of micro-columns, removing damaged tissue and heating the deeper dermis to trigger new collagen and elastin production — while the untreated skin between columns speeds recovery. What sets CO2RE apart is control: the device can treat superficial, mid, and deep skin levels in the same session, letting us dial the treatment anywhere from a light refresh to deep wrinkle and scar revision.
Treatment Options
CO2RE is effective for a range of skin issues, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, and overall skin texture.
Treatment Process
Starts with applying a topical numbing cream to minimize discomfort. The CO2RE laser is then moved across the treatment area in a grid-like pattern. Settings can be adjusted to target different skin concerns, from superficial blemishes to deeper wrinkles and scars.

Pre & Post Care
Pre-Treatment
- Topical numbing cream is applied prior to treatment to minimize discomfort.
Post-Treatment
- May experience redness, swelling, and a sensation similar to a mild sunburn.
- Skin may appear dry and flaky as it heals.
- These effects usually subside within a few days to a week.
Expected Results
Onset
Improved skin texture and tone typically noticed within a few weeks.
Duration
Optimal results become apparent over several months as collagen remodeling continues.
Maintenance
Multiple sessions might be recommended for best results.
Ongoing Care
Downtime scales with treatment depth — from a few days of redness and flaking at lighter settings to about a week of recovery for aggressive resurfacing. Collagen rebuilding continues for months, so results keep improving well after the skin has healed. Strict sun protection during healing is essential; we provide complete pre- and post-treatment instructions at consultation.
