Contact UsWhat Is a CO2 Facial?
A CO2 (carbon dioxide) facial at Oak Hills Med Spa & Wellness Center is a noninvasive cosmetic treatment that uses the revolutionary FemiLift® Pixel CO2 device to exfoliate dead and damaged skin layers. The laser treatment minimizes facial lines and wrinkles and diminishes skin irregularities, like pigmentation, acne scars, and other flaws. Sometimes known as a laser peel, the CO2 facial is considered an ideal facial treatment for patients who want clearer, softer, youthful-looking skin without surgery. There is some recovery time needed with the majority of laser skin resurfacing sessions, but any questions or concerns may be discussed with our team in Tyler, TX during your initial consultation.
What Are the Benefits of A CO2 Facial?
CO2 facials at Oak Hills Med Spa & Wellness Center in Tyler, TX offer a rejuvenating experience that revitalizes your skin and enhances your natural glow. Patients often choose CO2 facials for their ability to address multiple skin concerns in one session. Some of the key benefits of CO2 facials include:
- Reducing fine lines and wrinkles
- Improving skin texture and tone
- Minimizing the appearance of pores
- Stimulating collagen production for firmer skin
- Fading dark spots and hyperpigmentation
By targeting these common skin issues, CO2 facials help achieve a smoother, more youthful complexion.
Am I A Candidate for A CO2 Facial?
Ideal candidates for CO2 laser resurfacing are individuals with fair to medium skin tones seeking to address concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, or acne scars. This treatment is best suited for those in good overall health, non-smokers, and individuals without a history of poor wound healing or keloid scarring. It's important to have realistic expectations and be prepared for a recovery period involving redness and peeling. Patients with darker skin tones may face a higher risk of pigmentation changes and should consult with our specialists to determine the most appropriate treatment options.
How Does a CO2 Facial Work?
The FemiLift Pixel CO2 laser energy dramatically reduces wrinkles and fine lines and tightens and plumps the skin, resulting in a noticeable improvement in skin tone and texture. The CO2 technology uses fractional laser energy to treat the desired area without affecting the surrounding tissues. Throughout the procedure, you will relax in our treatment chair while the laser handpiece passes over your skin, precisely targeting the needed sections for improvement. The device utilizes short-pulsed light energy in order to create tiny "microdots" deep within the skin. During the healing process, the body pushes the old, damaged skin out of these microscopic channels and replaces it with newer, healthier skin.
For all laser treatments, the treated skin will naturally flake, crust, and peel off. It is vital to avoid picking at the skin during the recovery process to keep it from scarring and to protect the treated area from environmental exposure. After the peeling is finished, the treated skin will feel softer while looking clearer, rejuvenated, and younger. You need to skip all hair removal methods in the treatment area, which means no shaving, waxing, or depilatory creams. We can recommend a cream to help soothe and heal treated areas.

What Can I Expect After A CO2 Facial?
After your CO2 facial, it’s normal for your skin to look pink or feel warm, similar to a sunburn, for several days. At Oak Hills Med Spa, Dr. Short and our team prepare you for this short recovery window so you know exactly what to anticipate. As your skin begins its natural renewal process, you may notice mild swelling, dryness, and peeling as damaged surface cells shed and healthier skin emerges. Most patients start to see a smoother texture and a brighter tone within the first couple of weeks, with continued improvement over time as collagen rebuilds. Following your personalized aftercare plan is key to getting the most out of your CO2 laser resurfacing in Tyler, TX while supporting a comfortable recovery and long-lasting glow.
