Conditions Treated by CO2 Laser in New York City and Long Island
CO2 laser treatment can be used to address a variety of skin concerns, including:
- Wrinkles, Fine Lines, and Sagging Skin
CO2 laser tightens and rejuvenates wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin, giving your face and neck a firmer, fresher look. Some people even notice a slight lift—no surgery required. - Acne Scars
CO2 laser resurfaces deep, pitted scars from old breakouts in the skin, triggering new cell growth to smooth out those indentations. It’s a great option for people with lighter skin tones who can handle about 10 days of healing time. - Surgical Scars and Stretch Marks
CO2 laser helps fade surgical scars and stretch marks and blend them with your natural skin. Some of the most common scars treated include:- Breast surgery scars (augmentation, reduction, or lift)
- C-section scars
- Tummy tuck scars
- Skin cancer removal scars
By breaking down old scar tissue and boosting collagen, the skin regenerates with a much smoother texture.
- Moles and Skin Lesions
CO2 laser removes moles and benign skin growths with precision, leaving behind minimal scarring. - Sun Damage and Pigmentation Issues
CO2 lasers address sun damage, age spots, and other pigmentation issues by removing the outer layers of discolored skin and promoting the growth of new, evenly toned skin.
At its core, CO2 laser treatment is all about revealing fresher, healthier skin. It’s one of the most powerful non-surgical treatments for both cosmetic and medical skin concerns.
I recently had a butt lift surgery and I couldn't be happier with the results. My surgeon was professional and skilled, and the recovery process was much easier than I had anticipated. The procedure has given me the confidence to wear clothing that I never thought I could before. I would highly recommend a butt lift to anyone considering it

My facelift has made me feel like a brand new person. The procedure was quick and painless, and the results have been truly remarkable. I couldn't be happier with the outcome.
CO2 Laser Procedure

During the initial consultation, Dr. Shokrian assesses your skin, reviews your history, and outlines prep steps like avoiding sun exposure or pausing certain meds.
During the procedure, your skin will be cleaned, and you will be given eye protection. Anesthesia will be given as needed. Dr. Shokrian will then use the CO2 laser to remove damaged skin and stimulate collagen. The entire process typically takes from 30 minutes to 2 hours.
Afterward, expect redness, swelling, and slight crusting before the skin sheds around days 5-7. By day 10, it’s smoother but may still be pink, easily covered with makeup. Proper skincare and sun protection help maintain results.
