To make your CO2 laser skin resurfacing treatment as comfortable as possible, we use a few pain control measures. We apply topical anesthetic to numb the area beforehand, which helps a lot. We also use a Zimmer cooling device to blow cool air on your skin during the CO2 laser treatment. This helps to minimize any discomfort. Even with these measures, you may still feel some heat and stinging, but we do everything we can to keep you comfortable during your CO2 skin resurfacing procedure.
