Arizona’s sun and dry climate can accelerate visible skin changes like fine lines, uneven tone, scars, and rough texture. CO2 Laser Resurfacing at 112 West offers a powerful, non-surgical way to dramatically improve skin quality — by precisely removing damaged layers and triggering deep collagen renewal.
Whether you’re targeting wrinkles, acne scars, stretch marks, or sun damage, our advanced CO2 technology is customizable to your goals. Every VirtueRF treatment at 112 West includes a premium, growth factor–infused serum — at no extra charge. This topical enhancement is designed to support skin recovery, reduce visible redness, and optimize your post-treatment experience.
If you’re ready for serious skin renewal with lasting benefits, CO2 resurfacing is one of the most effective tools available.
What is CO2 Laser Resurfacing?
CO2 laser resurfacing is a skin renewal treatment that uses fractionated carbon dioxide (CO2) laser energy to precisely target damaged skin layers. By creating controlled micro-injuries, it stimulates collagen remodeling deep within the skin while removing dull, uneven surface cells.
This treatment is highly effective for improving:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne scars and surgical scars
- Stretch marks
- Pigmentation and sun damage
- Rough or uneven skin texture
At 112 West, we offer multiple levels of intensity — from a light laser peel to deep resurfacing — depending on your goals, skin type, and downtime preferences.
How does CO2 Laser Resurfacing work?
CO2 laser resurfacing works by delivering precise beams of laser energy into the skin to create controlled micro-channels — removing damaged outer layers while triggering your body’s natural healing response below the surface.
This process stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin, which are essential for smoother, firmer skin. As the skin heals, you’ll notice improvements in texture, tone, and overall clarity.
At 112 West, we enhance every treatment at 112 West includes a premium, growth factor–infused serum — at no extra charge. This topical enhancement is designed to support skin recovery, reduce visible redness, and optimize your post-treatment experience, which help calm inflammation, support faster recovery, and promote even better skin regeneration.
Unlike topical treatments that work on the surface, CO2 targets the deeper layers of your skin — making it ideal for more advanced concerns like scarring, deeper wrinkles, and sun damage.

Am I a candidate?
CO2 laser resurfacing is an excellent option for individuals looking to treat more advanced skin concerns — especially when lighter treatments like peels or microneedling haven’t delivered the results they want.
You may be a good fit if you:
- Have moderate to deep wrinkles
- Struggle with acne scars, surgical scars, or stretch marks
- Want to improve sun damage, texture, or uneven tone
- Are prepared for some social downtime in exchange for stronger results
CO2 may not be recommended if you have very dark skin tones, active breakouts, or are prone to poor wound healing — but we’ll always guide you toward the best treatment for your skin type and goals.
During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your skin, talk through the different treatment levels, and make sure CO2 resurfacing is the right approach for the results you’re after.
What can I expect during treatment sessions?
Your CO2 resurfacing appointment at 112 West is a carefully guided experience designed for both comfort and results. We begin with a thorough consultation and skin prep, followed by the application of a topical numbing agent to ensure you remain as comfortable as possible throughout the treatment.
Once numb, your provider will use our advanced CO2 laser system to treat the targeted areas. Depending on the treatment level (Laser Peel, Moderate, or Aggressive), sessions typically last 30 to 90 minutes.
The laser creates precise micro-channels in the skin, promoting natural collagen remodeling and revealing a refreshed surface — followed by the application of a professional-grade topical serum to support comfort and enhance your post-treatment experience.
After your session, you may feel a sensation similar to a sunburn. We’ll send you home with clear post-care instructions and everything you need to begin the healing process with confidence.
What can I expect from the results?
CO2 Laser Resurfacing delivers powerful, long-term improvement in skin texture, tone, and firmness. At 112 West, we offer three levels of treatment — each customized to your skin and lifestyle.
🔹 Laser Peel (Light Resurfacing)
Perfect for a quick refresh, this treatment gently exfoliates surface layers to improve dullness, rough texture, and fine lines.
- Best for: Mild aging, early sun damage, texture
- Downtime: 2–3 days of redness and light peeling
- Results: Brighter skin, smoother tone, more even texture
🔸 Moderate Resurfacing
Targets deeper wrinkles, scarring, and discoloration with more intensity while still balancing recovery time.
- Best for: Deeper lines, acne scars, moderate sun damage
- Downtime: 5–7 days of redness, peeling, and dryness
- Results: Improved firmness, clarity, texture, and tone
While each level delivers visible improvement, results continue to build over the following weeks as your skin produces new collagen and elastin. Most clients see their best results at the 4–6 week mark, with ongoing benefits over time.
