CO₂ Laser Skin Resurfacing at Grossman Capraro Plastic Surgery

Ageing, sun exposure, and environmental factors can cause fine lines, wrinkles, dark spots, and uneven texture. CO₂ laser resurfacing is an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment that removes damaged skin layers, stimulates collagen production, and restores a smoother, more youthful complexion.

Advanced Skin Renewal with Precision Laser Technology

At Grossman Capraro Plastic Surgery, we offer DOT Therapy™, CO₂ laser resurfacing, and PRFM Therapy™ to address various skin concerns with precision and minimal downtime.

What is DOT Therapy?

DOT Therapy™ (Dermal Optical Thermolysis) is a fractional laser treatment that targets skin imperfections using controlled, high-powered CO₂ laser energy in a matrix pattern. This method stimulates collagen renewal while allowing the surrounding skin to heal quickly.

DOT Therapy Improves:

  • Sun-damaged skin
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Acne scars and blemishes
  • Brown spots and uneven pigmentation
  • Aging skin with loss of elasticity

CO₂ Laser Resurfacing with SmartXide Tetra

We use the SmartXide Tetra CO₂ Laser, one of the most advanced skin resurfacing technologies. It allows for customized treatment depths and provides results ranging from a gentle refresh to deep resurfacing.

Benefits of CO₂ Laser Resurfacing:

  • Reduces wrinkles and fine lines
  • Improves skin texture and tone
  • Lightens brown spots and sun damage
  • Minimizes acne scars and blemishes
  • Stimulates collagen production for firmer skin

What is PRFM Therapy?

Platelet-rich fibrin matrix (PRFM) Therapy™ is an advanced version of PRP (platelet-rich plasma). It enhances skin healing and rejuvenation by preserving platelet longevity, allowing for extended collagen stimulation and tissue repair.

PRFM Therapy Can Help:

  • Improve skin elasticity and firmness
  • Reduce fine lines and wrinkles
  • Enhance healing after laser treatments

PRFM Therapy™ is often combined with CO₂ laser resurfacing or DOT Therapy™ in Denver, Greenwood Village, CO & Beverly Hills, CA to accelerate recovery and enhance results.
