What Is the Lumenis AcuPulse CO2 Laser?
The Lumenis AcuPulse is a fractional CO2 laser system that uses carbon dioxide laser energy to resurface skin. This FDA-approved device creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin to stimulate natural healing and collagen production. The laser removes damaged skin cells while promoting the growth of healthy, new tissue.
What makes the laser special is its fractional technology. Instead of treating the entire skin surface, it creates tiny treatment zones surrounded by healthy tissue. This approach speeds healing time and reduces side effects compared to older laser systems.
The AcuPulse system also features advanced pulse control technology. It allows practitioners to precisely control the depth and intensity of treatment, resulting in more comfortable sessions with better outcomes.

How Does a Fractionated CO2 Laser Work?
Laser fractional resurfacing creates thousands of microscopic columns of heat in your skin. These columns, called microthermal zones, penetrate deep into the dermis where collagen lives. The controlled damage triggers your body’s natural healing response. As your skin heals, it produces new collagen and elastin fibers. These proteins are essential for firm, smooth, youthful-looking skin. The old, damaged tissue is replaced with fresh, healthy cells that look and feel better.
The fractional approach is key to the treatment’s success. By leaving areas of healthy skin between the treatment zones, your skin can heal faster. The untreated areas serve as a reservoir of healthy cells that help repair the treated zones quickly and efficiently.
The Lumenis AcuPulse CO2 Laser’s Incredible Benefits
CO2 laser fractional treatment offers numerous benefits for skin health and appearance, including:
- Wrinkle and Fine Line Reduction – The laser stimulates collagen production, which naturally fills in lines and wrinkles. Many patients see significant improvements in crow’s feet, forehead lines, and around the mouth.
- Improved Skin Texture – CO2 laser peeling removes the top layer of damaged skin, revealing a smoother texture underneath. This is especially effective for rough, uneven skin caused by sun damage or acne scarring.
- Even Skin Tone – The treatment reduces age spots, sun spots, and other pigmentation issues. After healing, your skin will look more uniform and radiant.
- Tighter Skin – The laser’s heat causes immediate skin tightening. Over time, new collagen formation provides additional firmness and support.
- Acne Scar Improvement – Fractional resurfacing is highly effective for reducing the appearance of acne scars because it helps smooth their depressions.
What to Expect During and After Treatment
For your CO2 laser resurfacing session, we’ll numb your skin with a topical anesthetic. The treatment typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated. Most patients describe the sensation as a warm, tingling feeling.
Immediately after treatment, your skin will look red and feel like a sunburn. This is normal. You may also notice some swelling, especially around the eyes, which usually resolves within two or three days.
The overall healing process takes 5 – 7 days. During this time, your skin will peel and flake as new tissue forms. It’s crucial to keep your skin moisturized and protected from sun exposure during healing.
Most patients see initial results within two or three weeks, but full results will develop over three to six months as collagen continues to form. The improvements may last for years with proper skin care and sun protection.
Is the AcuPulse CO2 Laser Right for You?
CO2 laser resurfacing works best for people with fair to medium skin tones who want to address signs of aging or skin damage. Ideal candidates have realistic expectations and can commit to the healing process.
However, this treatment may not be suitable for everyone. People with dark skin, active infections, or certain medical conditions may need alternative skin resurfacing treatments. A consultation with our specialists will help determine if Lumenis AcuPulse CO2 laser resurfacing suits your skin type and goals.
