Powerful Skin Renewal with Fractional CO₂ Technology
Lutronic eCO₂ uses advanced fractional and microablative CO₂ laser energy to resurface damaged skin while stimulating deep collagen remodeling. By treating the skin in controlled micro-columns, the laser improves wrinkles, texture, pigmentation, and scarring without fully ablating the entire surface.
Precision Treatment with Customizable Depth & Control
The system’s advanced settings allow Dr. Kleven to precisely adjust treatment depth, density, and intensity. This level of control makes Lutronic eCO₂ effective for a wide range of concerns, from full-face resurfacing to refined precision peels and delicate surgical applications, with each setting chosen based on her direct assessment of your skin.
Collagen Stimulation for Long-Term Results
Beyond immediate resurfacing, Lutronic eCO₂ triggers the body’s natural healing response, increasing collagen production over time. This process leads to continued improvements in skin firmness, smoothness, and overall quality in the months following treatment.
Reduced Downtime with Tissue-Sparing Technology
Fractional laser delivery preserves surrounding healthy tissue, allowing for faster healing and a lower risk of complications compared to traditional fully ablative CO₂ lasers. Patients benefit from powerful results with a more manageable recovery period.
Surgical Precision for Advanced Applications
Lutronic eCO₂ offers exceptional accuracy for procedures such as laser blepharoplasty. The laser allows for controlled tissue removal, reduced bleeding, and improved recovery compared to conventional surgical techniques.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are CO₂ laser treatments painful?
Comfort measures are tailored to the depth of treatment and may include topical numbing medication and local anesthesia. Most patients tolerate the procedure very well.
Who is a good candidate for CO₂ laser resurfacing?
Patients looking for a more significant improvement in skin texture, wrinkles, sun damage, or acne scars than lighter resurfacing treatments can typically provide. Your skin type, medical history, pigmentation risk, and desired downtime are evaluated during consultation to determine whether CO₂ laser is appropriate for you.
What concerns can CO₂ laser treat?
CO₂ laser is commonly used to improve fine lines around the eyes and mouth, crepey skin, acne scarring, rough texture, enlarged pores, sun damage, and uneven pigmentation. Treatment depth can be customized based on your skin and goals.
How much downtime should I expect?
Downtime depends on the intensity of treatment. Most patients experience redness, swelling, peeling, and a sunburn-like appearance for approximately 5–10 days. Pinkness may persist longer as the skin continues to heal and remodel.
When will I see results?
You will begin to notice smoother, brighter skin as healing progresses, but results continue to improve over several months as new collagen forms and the skin remodels. Improvements in texture and fine lines can continue for three to six months or longer.
How many CO₂ laser treatments will I need?
Many patients achieve significant improvement with a single, more aggressive treatment, while lighter treatments may be performed as a series. The recommended approach depends on the degree of correction desired and how much downtime you are comfortable with.
How long do CO₂ laser results last?
A CO₂ laser treatment can produce long-lasting improvement because it stimulates structural remodeling of the skin. The natural aging process continues, however, so daily sunscreen, a quality skincare routine, and appropriate maintenance treatments can help preserve results.
