Enjoy New Skin in the New Year with CO2RE® Laser Skin Resurfacing

The New Year is the perfect time to refresh, restore, and reveal your best self—and that includes your skin. If fine lines, wrinkles, uneven texture, or sun damage have left your complexion looking dull, CO2RE® Fractional CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing at Kalos Facial Plastic Surgery, LLC in Atlanta, GA, offers a transformative solution.

Led by Dr. Benjamin C. Stong, a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon, Kalos Facial Plastic Surgery is proud to offer CO2RE®—the gold standard in non-surgical skin rejuvenation. This advanced laser technology provides dramatic, long-lasting improvement with a single treatment, helping you start the New Year with smoother, brighter, more youthful-looking skin.

What Is CO2RE® Laser Skin Resurfacing?

CO2RE® is a medical-grade fractional CO2 laser system that rejuvenates the skin by delivering precise, controlled energy to the surface and deeper layers of the skin. The laser removes damaged outer cells while stimulating the body’s natural healing response and collagen production.

This dual-mode technology allows Dr. Stong and his expert team to customize the intensity of the treatment, targeting surface-level issues such as fine lines and pigmentation, as well as deeper concerns like wrinkles, scars, and laxity.

The result? Firmer, smoother, and more radiant skin—often with just one session.

Why CO2RE® Is the Gold Standard in Skin Renewal

While there are many resurfacing options available today, the CO2RE® laser remains the gold standard for comprehensive rejuvenation. Unlike gentler treatments that require multiple sessions, CO2RE® delivers dramatic improvement in tone, texture, and firmness in a single visit.

Key benefits of CO2RE® Laser Resurfacing include:

• Reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and creases
• Improves acne scars and surgical scars
• Treats sun-damaged and unevenly pigmented skin
• Tightens and firms lax skin
• Enhances skin tone and texture
• Stimulates long-term collagen production

According to clinical studies, patients who undergo fractional CO2 laser resurfacing experience up to a 60% improvement in skin texture and a significant increase in collagen density within six months of treatment.

What to Expect During Treatment

Your CO2RE® experience begins with a personalized skin assessment by Dr. Stong, who tailors every treatment to your skin’s condition, tone, and cosmetic goals. The procedure is performed in our Atlanta office under topical anesthesia or local numbing for optimal comfort.

During treatment, the laser creates microscopic channels in the skin, removing damaged tissue while leaving surrounding areas intact. This precise approach promotes faster healing and minimizes downtime compared to traditional laser resurfacing.

Typical recovery timeline:

• Day 1–3: Mild redness, swelling, and flaking
• Day 4–7: New, healthy skin begins to emerge
• 1–2 weeks: Most patients can resume makeup and daily activities
• 1–3 months: Continued collagen remodeling for firmer, more youthful skin

Is CO2RE® Right for You?

CO2RE® laser resurfacing is best suited for patients with fair to medium skin tones who want a single, comprehensive treatment for multiple concerns. It’s ideal for improving:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Acne and surgical scars
• Uneven pigmentation or sun damage
• Loss of firmness and elasticity
• Rough or dull texture

However, it may not be recommended for individuals with darker skin types, recent Accutane use, or active skin infections. At Kalos Facial Plastic Surgery, patient safety is always our top priority. Dr. Stong will evaluate your skin and health history to determine whether CO2RE® or another treatment is best for you.

The Science Behind the Results

CO2RE® doesn’t just resurface the skin—it rebuilds it. By removing the outermost layer of damaged tissue and triggering a wound-healing response, the laser prompts your body to produce new collagen and elastin, the essential proteins that keep skin smooth and firm.

This natural regeneration process continues for months, meaning your results will improve over time. Patients often notice smoother texture within two weeks, with peak results developing over 3–6 months as collagen production accelerates.

Trust Your Skin to a Facial Plastic Surgery Expert

When it comes to facial rejuvenation, the skill of your provider matters just as much as the technology. Dr. Benjamin Stong brings years of experience and artistry to every procedure. As a double board-certified facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon, he understands both the medical science and aesthetic nuances of facial balance and beauty.
