CO2 & Fraxel Laser Skin Resurfacing

Dr. Salomon's med spa offers CO2 fractional laser and Fraxel resurfacing to address fine lines, sun damage, uneven texture, and mild skin laxity on the face and neck. CO2 laser energy removes the outer epidermal layer while stimulating collagen production in the deeper dermis. Results improve progressively over months following treatment as new collagen matures. These treatments are frequently combined with facelift surgery, blepharoplasty, or rhinoplasty at this practice to enhance skin quality alongside structural improvements. Multi-session Fraxel packages are available at promotional pricing.

CO2 and Fraxel laser resurfacing at Dr. Jhonny Salomon's South Miami practice use fractional laser technology to address a range of skin quality concerns: fine lines and wrinkles (particularly around the mouth and eyes), surface roughness, sun-induced pigmentation and age spots, mild skin laxity, and acne scarring. These treatments represent some of the most established laser resurfacing modalities in aesthetic medicine, with a long track record of clinical use. The CO2 laser works by delivering precisely calibrated pulses of laser energy that vaporize the outer layer of damaged skin (the epidermis) while creating controlled thermal injury in the underlying dermis. This two-pronged mechanism produces two categories of benefit: immediate improvement in skin surface texture as the treated epidermis is replaced by fresh skin cells, and progressive improvement in firmness and elasticity over subsequent months as the heat-stimulated dermis generates new collagen fibers. Fractional delivery — where only a fraction of the skin surface is treated in each pass, leaving surrounding tissue intact — allows a more controlled recovery profile than older full-field ablative laser approaches. Most patients experience a period of redness, mild oozing, and peeling that resolves within five to ten days for a fractional treatment, after which the skin surface is healed and daily activities can be resumed with appropriate sun protection. Pinkness may persist for several weeks to months as the skin matures. At Dr. Salomon's practice, CO2 resurfacing is frequently performed in conjunction with surgical facial procedures — facelift, blepharoplasty, or rhinoplasty — where improving skin surface quality at the time of structural rejuvenation can produce a more comprehensive overall result. The procedure may also be performed as a standalone treatment. Fraxel resurfacing packages offer a gentler fractional approach, with the clinic providing promotional four-session packages. Both treatment modalities share the goal of progressive skin quality improvement through collagen stimulation and surface renewal. Complimentary consultations are available to determine the most appropriate laser approach for a patient's skin type and concerns.
