DEKA CO2 Laser is an advanced skin resurfacing treatment that uses fractional laser technology to improve skin texture, reduce wrinkles, fade scars, and boost collagen production for a more youthful appearance.
The laser creates micro-injuries in the skin, triggering the body’s natural healing response. This process stimulates collagen production and promotes skin renewal, leading to smoother, firmer, and more even-toned skin.
This treatment is effective for:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne scars and surgical scars
- Sun damage and hyperpigmentation
- Uneven skin tone and texture
- Enlarged pores
- Skin laxity
Most patients experience mild discomfort during the procedure, similar to a warm, tingling sensation. A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment to enhance comfort.
Recovery varies based on the intensity of the treatment. Typically:
- Day 1-3: Redness, mild swelling, and a sunburn-like sensation.
- Day 4-7: Skin may start peeling and flaking as new skin emerges.
- Day 7-14: Skin continues healing, with noticeable improvements in texture and tone.
Most patients achieve significant results with one session, but depending on skin concerns, 2-3 sessions may be recommended for optimal results.
Results can last several years with proper skincare and sun protection. Regular maintenance treatments may be recommended for long-term benefits.
- Avoid excessive sun exposure for at least two weeks before treatment.
- Discontinue retinoids, acids, and harsh exfoliants one week prior.
- Stay well-hydrated and follow any pre-treatment instructions provided by your specialist.
Ideal candidates are those looking to improve skin tone, texture, and signs of aging. However, it may not be suitable for:
- Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals
- Those with active skin infections or severe acne
- People with certain medical conditions or on medications affecting healing

Pre and Post Operative Care
DEKA CO2 Laser Pre/Post Care Instructions
Patient response varies after a DOT Fractional CO2 treatment. Redness (erythema), swelling (edema), and pinpoint oozing are expected and normal within minutes to hours post-procedure. The severity of these responses depends on the depth and strength of the treatment.
What to Expect & Immediate Care
- Redness and Crusting: Can last 24 hours to 5 days depending on treatment intensity.
- Oozing: May persist for up to 24 hours.
- Swelling: Common but temporary. Use cold compresses or ice packs to minimize swelling. Sleeping upright the first night can also help.
Pain Management
- If prescribed an antiviral medication (such as Valtrex or Acyclovir), continue as directed.
- If discomfort occurs, Extra Strength Tylenol is recommended. Avoid NSAIDs like ibuprofen unless instructed otherwise.
Cleansing & Moisturizing Routine
- Start cleansing the morning after treatment:
- Use lukewarm water and a gentle cleanser (e.g, Foaming Facial Cleanser).
- Use hands to apply the cleanser, then pat dry with a soft towel. Do not rub the treated area.
- Apply an occlusive barrier (e.g., Aquaphor) to keep skin hydrated and protected from pollutants.
- Reapply as needed for 4-7 days to prevent dryness.
Comfort Measures
- Cool Vinegar Soaks can relieve burning and reduce infection risk:
- Mix 1 tablespoon white vinegar with 16 oz cool water.
- Soak a soft cloth or gauze in the solution and apply for 15 minutes.
- Alternatively, use a spray bottle with the mixture stored in the fridge for a cooling effect.
Healing & Protection
- Peeling & Flaking will start within 24 hours. Allow it to shed naturally—DO NOT pick, rub, or force skin off as this may lead to scarring and infection.
- Avoid direct sun exposure for up to 2 months post-treatment. Wear sunglasses & a wide-brimmed hat outdoors.
- Once healed, apply a moisturizing post-procedure sunblock daily to prevent hyperpigmentation.
- Recommended Skincare: Use creams enriched with Stem Cell Growth Factors to accelerate healing and enhance skin rejuvenation.
Additional Guidelines
- Showering: Wait 24 hours before showering. Wash hair behind you to prevent shampoo from irritating treated areas.
- Avoid hot water, steam, dirty/dusty environments, painting, hairsprays, and perfumes while healing.
- No mechanical exfoliation for 4 weeks.
- Avoid strenuous exercise & sweating until skin fully heals.
- Makeup: Mineral makeup may be applied on day 4 for lighter treatments or after full healing for deeper treatments.
When to Seek Medical Attention
If you experience any of the following signs of infection, contact Balance Lab Aesthetics immediately:
- Excessive swelling
- Drainage (pus-like fluid)
- Unusual warmth around the treated area
- Severe pain
- Fever of 101.5°F or higher
For any questions or concerns, reach out to Balance Lab Aesthetics. Follow these instructions carefully to ensure the best healing results from your DEKA SmartXide DOT Fractional CO2 Laser treatment.
