CO2RE Fractional CO2 Laser
Nuderma Health & Med Spa offers CO2RE fractional laser resurfacing to Raleigh-area patients seeking dramatic, long-lasting skin rejuvenation. The CO2RE by Candela is a fractional laser built for precision — allowing our providers to customize each treatment for laser resurfacing and lesion excision.
Because CO2RE can target the skin's surface, middle, and deep dermal layers, it delivers one of the most versatile laser resurfacing options available in Raleigh. Whether you're addressing a dull, uneven complexion or more advanced signs of aging, treatment intensity can be tailored to your specific skin concerns and goals.
Is CO2 Laser Resurfacing Right for You?
If you're looking for maximum results on aging or sun-damaged skin — and you're able to allow time for the healing process — CO2RE fractional laser resurfacing may be the right treatment for you. Raleigh patients choose this option when they want more dramatic, longer-lasting improvement than non-ablative treatments can offer.

How Does CO2RE Laser Work?
Nuderma's CO2RE device combines fractional and fully ablative resurfacing in one system, so our Raleigh providers can tailor each treatment to your skin's exact needs. Fractional laser technology creates precise micro-channels in the dermal layers, triggering new collagen production and cell renewal. This targeted approach allows for deeper, more effective treatment while minimizing discomfort and downtime — an important consideration for busy Raleigh patients balancing work and recovery time.
For patients seeking more dramatic results, ablative resurfacing removes damaged skin in thin, controlled layers to reveal smoother, healthier skin beneath. This approach requires local anesthetic and a longer recovery window, but Raleigh patients often find the results well worth the downtime.
What Does CO2RE Treat?
Raleigh patients turn to CO2RE laser resurfacing at Nuderma Health & Med Spa to address a wide range of skin concerns, including:
-
Fine lines and wrinkles caused by aging
-
Sun damage and brown spots, common among Raleigh's outdoor-active residents
-
Acne scarring and other textural scars
-
Rough or uneven skin texture
-
Pigmentation irregularities
Because CO2RE offers a wide range of treatment intensities, our providers can customize your session based on the severity of your concerns and your desired downtime.
What to Expect During CO2 Laser Resurfacing
CO2 fractional laser treatments at our Raleigh med spa are performed under local anesthesia for your comfort. For patients with deeply sun-damaged or aged skin — including etched-in lines and wrinkles — fractionated or fully ablative resurfacing delivers some of the most noticeable results available.
Using advanced CO2RE technology, our providers remove the outer layers of skin in a precise, controlled manner with gentle pulses of light, working down to the level of damaged tissue. As your skin resurfaces, a new layer emerges supported by fresh, healthy collagen and elastic tissue — dramatically improving fine lines, even in delicate areas around the eyes and lips.
Most Raleigh patients return to normal activities within about 10 days, with results that can make skin look years younger.
Frequently Asked Questions About CO2 Laser Resurfacing in Raleigh
How many CO2 laser resurfacing sessions will I need?
Many patients see dramatic results after a single CO2RE treatment, since this laser reaches deeper into the dermal layers than non-ablative options. However, your Nuderma provider will recommend a treatment plan based on your skin's specific concerns and goals during your Raleigh consultation.
Is CO2 laser resurfacing painful?
Treatments are performed under local anesthesia to keep you comfortable as possible throughout the procedure. Most patients describe sensations of warmth or pressure rather than significant pain. Your provider will discuss anesthesia options and what to expect at your consultation.
What is the recovery time for CO2 laser resurfacing?
Most patients return to normal activities within about 10 days. During recovery, skin may appear red or feel tight as it heals, similar to a sunburn, before revealing smoother, more youthful skin underneath.
Am I a good candidate for CO2RE laser resurfacing?
CO2RE is best suited for patients with visible signs of aging, sun damage, acne scarring, or uneven skin texture who are able to allow time for the healing process. A consultation with our Raleigh med spa team is the best way to determine if this treatment fits your skin type and goals.
How long do CO2 laser resurfacing results last?
Results can be long-lasting, especially when paired with good sun protection and skincare afterward. Because CO2RE stimulates new collagen production, many patients continue to see improvement in their skin's texture and tone for months after treatment.
Does CO2 laser resurfacing work on all skin types?
CO2 laser resurfacing works best on certain skin tones and types. During your consultation, our Raleigh providers will evaluate your skin to confirm candidacy and recommend the safest, most effective approach for you.
