If you are looking to soften deep wrinkles, erase years of sun damage, or smooth away stubborn acne scarring, CO2 dot laser resurfacing at Emerge Medical & Well Spa offers a powerful solution. This treatment is offered only at our South Tulsa location, where our team specializes in skin rejuvenation and tailors every session to a safe, comfortable experience built around your skin care goals.
CO2 dot laser resurfacing is a fractional ablative laser treatment designed to bridge the gap between surgical results and non-invasive skincare. Unlike traditional lasers that treat the skin’s entire surface, “fractional” technology creates thousands of microscopic “dots” (thermal channels) in the skin while leaving the surrounding tissue untouched.
This specialized approach triggers your body’s natural healing process, stimulating a massive production of new collagen and elastin. By targeting the deeper layers of the dermis, we can effectively “vaporize” damaged skin cells and replace them with fresh, healthy tissue. At our Tulsa locations, we use this precision technology to provide maximum results with significantly less downtime than older, non-fractional CO2 lasers.
CO2 dot laser skin resurfacing is highly sought after for its versatility. It’s particularly effective for those with deeper skin concerns that lighter peels or facials can’t reach, including:
While many clients choose a full-face treatment, the CO2 dot laser is an excellent tool for targeting specific “trouble spots.” Here are the most common areas we treat at our Tulsa medical spas.
The skin beneath the eyes is the thinnest on the body and often the first to show signs of aging. CO2 laser under the eyes is a popular choice for tightening “crepey” skin and reducing the appearance of fine lines without surgery.
Often called “barcode lines,” these vertical wrinkles around the mouth can be difficult to treat with fillers alone. CO2 laser for lip lines helps resurface the skin, smoothing these deep grooves for a more youthful smile.
For those struggling with the emotional and physical reminders of acne, CO2 dot laser treatments provide a path to smoother skin. It breaks down fibrous scar tissue and encourages the growth of a flat, even skin surface.
The neck often betrays our age through horizontal “tech neck” lines and sun-damaged texture. We can adjust the laser settings to safely treat this delicate area, improving both firmness and tone.
A common question at our Tulsa locations is whether a guest should choose CO2 Dot Laser or a gentler option like Moxi.
CO2 Dot Laser is a deep, ablative treatment best for correcting etched-in lines and significant texture issues, whereas Moxi is a non-ablative “pre-juvenation” laser focused on tone and pigment.
Feature | CO2 Dot Laser | Moxi Laser |
Primary Goal | Deep texture, wrinkles, acne scars | Tone, pigment, light sun damage |
Downtime | 5–7 days (redness/peeling) | 12–24 hours (mild “sandpaper” feel) |
Results | Dramatic, corrective | Brightening, preventative |
Ideal Candidate | Advanced aging or scarring | Early signs of aging, “glow” seekers |
Your comfort and safety are always our top priority. Before your CO2 dot laser treatment, we apply a high-strength topical numbing cream to ensure the process is as painless as possible.
The procedure itself typically takes 39 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area. You may feel a sensation of heat, similar to a localized sunburn, during the session. Our highly trained providers monitor your skin’s response throughout the treatment to ensure both safety and efficacy.
Because this is a transformative treatment, your skin will need time to heal. Most guests experience about 5 to 7 days of downtime.
Your skin will feel warm and appear significantly red, similar to a deep sunburn.
The “dots” will begin to flake off, revealing fresh, pink, and incredibly smooth skin underneath.
While you will see an immediate improvement in smoothness within two weeks, your results will continue to improve for 3 to 6 months as new collagen fibers mature.
Pro-Tip: We often recommend pairing your recovery with IV Hydration at our Tulsa locations to support your body’s healing process from the inside out.

CO2 DOT laser resurfacing treats deep set wrinkles, acne scars, uneven texture, sun damage, and skin laxity. It is designed for the deeper concerns that lighter facials and peels cannot reach.
Most guests experience about 5 to 7 days of downtime. Skin looks red for the first few days, then the treated dots flake away to reveal smoother skin underneath. Results could keep improving for 3 to 6 months as new collagen matures, and your provider will walk you through sun protection before and after treatment.
CO2 is a powerful ablative laser, so it is generally best suited to lighter and medium skin tones. Every treatment starts with a consultation and skin analysis at our South Tulsa location so the team can confirm it is the safest, most effective option for your complexion.
Many guests see the results they want after one session. For deeper acne scarring or more advanced sun damage, a series of 2 to 3 treatments spaced several months apart could be recommended.
