Real Patient Reviews From Our CO2 Laser Treatment New York
Ange S.
★★★★★I went to Alinea after doing a lot of research about the profound treatment. I was hesitant at first but I am very confident now I went to the absolute BEST in the city. My results are amazing and I feel years younger. Dr.Ammar and his staff were very professional and attentive. I felt well taken care of by the team. I have had so many compliments since receiving the treatment and have recommended him to many of my close friends. I am very happy with results 🤗

★★★★★I had the Profound RF treatment done. Dr. Ammar educated me beforehand on what to expect day of treatment. I was topically numbed around my whole face and neck for around 45 mins. Then he injected lidocaine which I could barely feel. He did a great job as the treatment was not painful. Treatment took about 2 hours. I was pretty swollen for a good 5 days, the bruising lasted about 10 days, which I was able to cover with make-up around day 5.It has now been 7 months and my skin texture has improved, fullness back to my cheeks and overall tightness! I believe taking care of your skin early on in life is the best for anti-aging!Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend this treatment to anyone and everyone.

★★★★★I came to Dr. Ammar Mahmoud with a specific procedure in mind: Profound RF. And I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. I found him on Google by typing “best doctors in NYC for Profound RF” and his name popped up on top.
They say the finest outcomes won’t be seen for at least 3 to 6 months following treatment since it takes time for new collagen and elastin to form correctly, but in less than four weeks from the treatment and I could see noticeable improvements in the overall look of my face and jawline after only a few weeks.
Among all the non-invoice and semi-invasive procedures I had in the past, this was the most effective one. I had Morpheus 8, Facetite, Ultherapy, Exilis, fat transfer, and PRP/PRF injections in the past 7 years. They were all good, but Profound RF results are comparable to an invasive procedure like a mini facelift without its cons.
In our first meeting, we spoke a lot and it was quite an education for me on the correlation between certain areas of the face and facial aesthetics. He listened to all my concerns. I made the right decision, and I could not be happier.
Dr. Mahmoud is extremely knowledgeable, talented, and caring. An expert in Profound RF. He has eyes for details and his recommendations (the use of supplements like collagen, vitamin C, Zinc, etc) made my results better than I could have ever imagined.
My entire experience with his staff was as close to perfect as you can get! I never felt like I was rushed and my (endless) questions were always answered thoroughly.
Recovery was such a breeze. Everything went far beyond expectation. My procedure was done on a Friday morning, and I was back to work on the following Tuesday.

What is CO2 Laser Resurfacing?
CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) laser resurfacing is a powerful device that works on multiple layers of the skin, addressing the surface, middle, and deep dermal levels. It can handle both traditional CO2 resurfacing and excision of skin lesions.
The device provides specialists with exceptional control for highly customized procedures, enabling specialists to perform more accurate procedures, significantly improving the results of the treatment.
How CO2 Laser Works & Its Most Common Uses
A fractional CO2 laser works by delivering a concentrated beam of CO2 light that penetrates the epidermis, heating and destroying the targeted skin tissue. This process removes the top layers of the skin and stimulates the production of new collagen, leading to skin remodeling, improved texture, and the turnover of dead skin cells. Below are some of the common skin concerns that our CO2 laser in New York can address:
Crepey Skin
Crepey skin appears thin, loose, and wrinkled, often resembling the texture of crepe paper. It typically occurs due to a loss of collagen and elastin caused by either aging, sun exposure, or dehydration. CO2 fractional laser addresses creepy skin by stimulating collagen production.
Sun Damage
When your skin is constantly exposed to ultraviolet (UV) rays, it can result in skin changes such as age spots, sunburns, freckles, and uneven pigmentation. The CO2 laser can remove damaged layers of skin, targeting pigmentation and sun spots while stimulating the production of new skin cells and collagen.
Lines and Wrinkles
As the skin loses its firmness, elasticity, and volume, fine lines and deep wrinkles start to form around areas like the eyes, mouth, and forehead. CO2 fractional laser helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by tightening he skin and stimulating collagen production.
Rhinophyma (Enlarged Nose Glands)
Rhinophyma is a condition where the skin on the nose becomes thick, red, and bumpy due to enlarged sebaceous glands. CO2 laser helps reduce the thickness of the skin, treating the redness and bumps by vaporizing excess tissue, giving the nose a more even appearance.
Burn Scars
Whether you get burn scars from heat, chemicals or radiation, they often leave the skin with discoloration, indentations, and irregular texture after healing. CO2 fractional laser targets the scar tissue, promoting collagen remodeling and encouraging the growth of new, healthy skin.
Acne Scarring
Acne scarring occurs when acne lesions heal improperly, leaving behind indentations, discoloration, or raised scars. CO2 fractional laser resurfacing targets scar tissue, accelerating the skin’s healing and renewal process to achieve a smoother, more even complexion.
Skin Laxity
Skin laxity refers to sagging skin caused by the loss of elasticity and firmness, often due to aging, weight loss, or decreased collagen production. CO2 laser helps tighten the skin by boosting elasticity and restoring firmness, resulting in a refreshed, lifted appearance.
Under-Eye Creases
Under-eye creases are wrinkles caused by aging, collagen decline, and facial expressions, with lifestyle factors like dehydration and insufficient sleep adding to the problem. CO2 fractional laser boosts collagen under the eyes, enhancing skin elasticity and reducing fine lines and puffiness.
What Are The Benefits Of Getting a CO2 Laser Resurfacing in NYC?
A Major Boost In Self-Esteem
While patients rave about the physical results of CO2 laser treatments, the psychological and emotional effects are just as noteworthy. Patients who undergo these treatments experience higher self-esteem, more self-confidence, and more comfort when going out with no makeup on.
A Younger Aesthetic
Laser skin resurfacing is known for eliminating or reducing signs of aging that may be unresponsive to other treatments. After undergoing a CO2 laser session, patients find that their skin contracts and lifts, giving them a smoother and tighter look. Moreover, the treatment doesn’t involve any chemicals that could trigger a breakout or any other skin issue.
Only One Treatment Needed
Instead of having to come in for multiple treatments over a series of months, patients only need to come in for one CO2 laser appointment to reach their cosmetic goals. The CO2 laser is highly revered for its ability to accomplish in one hour what other treatments take multiple appointments to achieve.
A Safe Treatment For Most Patients
The treatment is considered to be safe and effective for patients of various ages. This includes older patients who are looking to mitigate signs of aging in the face and younger ones who are looking to reduce issues such as acne scarring. This tried and true technology delivers on its promise in a totally safe and effective way.
No Anesthesia Is Required
As a minimally invasive procedure, there is minimal discomfort and pain. The sensation of the beam is light, making it easy for patients to get through the procedure and go about their day.
Recovery & Aftercare Guide Following a CO2 Laser Treatment in New York
While a CO2 laser skin resurfacing in New York is considered a minimally invasive procedure, proper aftercare is crucial to optimize results and ensure faster healing. Here are some helpful aftercare tips following your fractional CO2 laser treatment:
- Avoid Washing Your Face for 24 Hours: The skin will be more sensitive and vulnerable to irritation immediately after treatment. During this time, it’s crucial to avoid washing your skin and applying skin care products.
- Avoid Direct Sun Exposure: Your skin will be more sensitive to the sun following CO2 laser resurfacing. It’s important to avoid direct sun exposure for at least 4–6 weeks and apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher.
- Keep the Skin Moisturized: Use a gentle, hydrating ointment or cream recommended by your specialist to keep your skin moist and promote healing. Avoid harsh skincare products that can irritate the treated area.
- Avoid Picking or Scratching the Treated Skin: As your skin heals, you may experience peeling or flaking. It’s important not to pick at the skin, as this can lead to scarring or infection.
- Stay Hydrated and Maintain Healthy Skin: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated from the inside. Eating nutrient-rich foods, particularly those high in vitamins A, C, and E, can also support skin healing and boost collagen production.
Who is a Good Candidate for CO2 Laser Treatment in New York?
- Fair to Medium Skin: CO₂ laser resurfacing works best for individuals with Fitzpatrick types I–III, as they are less prone to developing dark spots from post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).
- No History of Keloid Scarring: CO₂ laser resurfacing stimulates collagen for skin renewal. However, patients with a history of keloid or hypertrophic scars may experience abnormal scarring.
- Patients with Visible Signs of Aging: Fractional CO₂ laser resurfacing effectively treats fine lines, deep wrinkles, and skin laxity, especially around the eyes and mouth where creases are most noticeable.
- People with Acne Scars & Uneven Skin Texture: Fractional CO₂ laser resurfaces pitted acne scars and smooths uneven skin texture caused by sun damage, enlarged pores, or inflammation.
- Healthy Individuals: Your body’s ability to heal significantly affects recovery. Being in good health with no serious conditions improves your skin’s response to the procedure.
Can I Combine Fractional CO2 With Other Procedures?
HydraFacial
HydraFacial is excellent for hydrating and cleansing the skin. It can be used before or after CO2 laser resurfacing to deeply hydrate and refresh the skin while helping to remove dead skin cells. Combining these treatments will provide both immediate and long-lasting skin improvements.
Profound Non-Surgical Skin Tightening
Profound uses radiofrequency to tighten skin and stimulate collagen production. After CO2 fractional laser treatment, adding Profound skin tightening can boost skin elasticity and create a more lifted, firm appearance.

CO2 Fractional Laser FAQs
What does CO2 laser resurfacing do?
CO2 laser resurfacing is a treatment that uses a high-powered laser to remove damaged skin and promote the creation of new, healthy skin. It effectively addresses issues such as fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and pigmentation irregularities.
By stimulating collagen and elastin production, the treatment helps restore skin firmness and texture, resulting in a smoother, more youthful complexion.
What are the risks of CO2 laser treatments?
- Erythema (Skin Redness): Mild to moderate redness is expected after the procedure. This is a sign that blood flow and collagen production are being stimulated, and the redness typically subsides over a few days.
- Swelling: Some swelling may occur in the treated area. This is temporary and typically resolves within 24 hours as the skin recovers.
How much is a CO2 laser resurfacing in NYC?
The cost of CO2 laser resurfacing in New York City varies based on factors such as the extent of treatment, the specific area being addressed, and the expertise of the practitioner.
How Many Fractional CO2 Laser Resurfacing Do You Need?
Most patients see significant improvement after 1 to 2 fractional CO2 laser resurfacing sessions. However, for more severe skin issues like deep wrinkles, extensive acne scarring, or significant sun damage, 3 or more treatments might be needed.
Treatments are generally spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, allowing time for the skin to heal and for collagen to regenerate. The total number of sessions required will be determined during your consultation.
How Long Does CO2 Laser Resurfacing Last?
CO2 laser resurfacing provides long-lasting results, with improvements lasting anywhere from 2 to 5 years. The duration depends on how well you care for your skin post-treatment and how much sun exposure you get. To maintain smoother, firmer skin, it’s recommended to follow up with a proper skincare regimen and sun protection.
What will my face look like after a CO2 laser?
Following a CO2 laser resurfacing treatment, expect some redness, swelling, and mild discomfort in the treated areas. This is a normal reaction and usually subsides within a few days. You may also experience peeling or crusting as the old skin sheds, which generally lasts 3 to 7 days. Once the skin heals, you’ll notice smoother, firmer skin with reduced fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation.
