CO2 Laser Resurfacing
At Vado Plastic Surgery, our CO₂ laser resurfacing treatments are designed to improve fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, uneven skin tone and texture, skin laxity, and more. Using advanced HELIX laser technology, we offer two personalized treatment options—CoolPeel® and DEKA—to help you achieve healthier, smoother, more youthful-looking skin. With treatment options safe for all skin types, every treatment is customized to your unique skin, goals, and desired downtime.
Every CO₂ laser resurfacing journey begins with a 30-minute consultation, where your provider will evaluate your skin, discuss your goals and available downtime, and customize your treatment plan. Your laser treatment will then be scheduled for a separate appointment.

The face, neck, décolletage, and hands are our most popular treatment areas for CO₂ laser resurfacing. Each area counts as one treatment area for pricing, and you'll receive additional savings when multiple areas are combined in the same session. If you have concerns in other areas of the body, your provider can discuss them during your consultation to determine whether they can also be treated with laser resurfacing.
CoolPeel is our most popular CO₂ laser resurfacing treatment because it combines moderate skin resurfacing with deep collagen stimulation to deliver comprehensive skin rejuvenation with moderate downtime—and it's safe for all skin types. Using HELIX's unique dual-energy technology, CoolPeel refreshes the skin's surface while delivering energy deeper below the skin to improve fine lines, uneven pigmentation, skin texture, enlarged pores, mild skin laxity, and overall skin quality. The result is smoother, more radiant skin with visible improvement in days and continued collagen production over the following weeks and months. For optimal results, we typically recommend a series of three treatment sessions.
Following your CoolPeel treatment, it's normal to experience:
As your skin heals, you may notice a rough, sandpaper-like texture as the treated skin naturally exfoliates. Recovery typically lasts 5 to 7 days, depending on the intensity of your treatment. While you'll notice brighter, smoother skin as the surface heals, your skin will continue to improve over the following weeks and months as new collagen develops. Your provider will review personalized post-treatment instructions to help ensure a smooth recovery and optimal results.
| COOLPEEL | 1 AREA | 2 AREAS | 3 AREAS |
| SINGLE SESSION | $1,200 | $2,400 | $3,600 |
| 3-SESSION PACKAGE | $3,600 | $7,200 | $10,800 |
DEKA is our most advanced CO₂ laser resurfacing treatment, designed for patients with deep wrinkles, advanced sun damage, acne scars, skin laxity, and other concerns requiring more intensive skin resurfacing. By resurfacing damaged skin while stimulating collagen production, DEKA delivers our most dramatic improvement in skin texture, tone, firmness, and overall skin quality. The result is smoother, firmer, healthier-looking skin, with continued improvement over the following weeks and months as new collagen develops. Available for Fitzpatrick skin types I–IV, DEKA is ideal for patients seeking maximum skin rejuvenation with a typical healing time of 10–14 days.
Following your DEKA CO₂ laser resurfacing treatment, it’s normal to experience:
DEKA CO₂ laser resurfacing involves a more intensive healing process as your skin naturally regenerates. Healing typically takes approximately 10–14 days, although recovery can vary from patient to patient. During this time, many patients are able to return to work, exercise, and other normal daily activities as their skin continues to heal.
Because we’re in Florida’s year-round sun and heat, following your provider’s post-treatment guidance, particularly around sun exposure and skin protection, is especially important during the healing process.
As your skin heals, you’ll begin to notice improvements in wrinkles, texture, tone, and overall skin quality, with continued collagen stimulation and skin tightening developing over the following months.
Your provider will review personalized post-treatment instructions, including cleansing, moisturization, activity guidelines, and sun protection, to support a safe recovery and optimal results.

| SINGLE SESSION | $2,500 | $5,000 | $7,500 |
