Lasers & energy devicesCO2 laser skin resurfacing in Montreal
CO2 laser resurfacing removes the damaged outer layer of skin and heats the collagen beneath it, usually over 1 to 3 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. It treats acne scars, deeper lines, sun damage and rough texture. At Ideal Body Clinic it runs on the Secret PRO platform at our Monkland clinic in Montreal.

Secret PRO™ CO2 laser and RF microneedling
OverviewWhat the treatment does, and how a first visit goes.
What does CO2 laser skin resurfacing treat?
CO2 is an ablative laser. It removes the damaged surface of the skin in a controlled pattern and heats the collagen underneath, so the skin that grows back is smoother and firmer than the skin that came off.
- Acne scars and other raised or pitted scars
- Fine lines and deeper wrinkles, including around the eyes and mouth
- Sun damage, brown spots and uneven pigment
- Rough or uneven texture
- Enlarged pores
- Crepey skin on the face, neck and décolletage
- Stretch marks
- Skin that has started to look dull and tired
How deep does the laser go, and what changes with depth?
Depth is the setting that matters most. It decides how much one session achieves and how long the skin takes to settle afterwards. Three depths are used at the clinic.
- A light CO2 peel works at the surface. It is the gentlest option, it suits texture and dullness, and it is usually done as a short series.
- Fractional resurfacing sends columns of energy deeper into the skin and leaves untreated skin between them so healing starts from all sides. This is the usual choice for acne scars and established lines.
- Radiofrequency added under the surface in the same session reaches the deeper layers while taking less of the surface off. The Secret PRO platform can do both in one appointment.
Your clinician sets the depth at the consultation, after looking at your skin and hearing what you want changed.
