Advanced Laser Technologies
CO₂ Laser Resurfacing
The most powerful and effective option for deep wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, texture irregularities, and advanced signs of aging. This is our most frequently performed treatment for truly transformative results.
Erbium YAG Laser
Ideal for mild to moderate concerns, offering faster healing and reduced downtime. While gentler, it is less effective for deep wrinkles and more severe skin damage.
Fractionated Laser Treatments (ActiveFX®, TotalFX®, Fraxel®)
Lower-energy fractional CO₂ options designed to improve fine lines, pigmentation, and sun damage with minimal downtime. These treatments offer noticeable improvement, though they do not achieve the same level of correction as full CO₂ resurfacing.
The Sensational Skin Difference
- Over 25 years of physician-led laser expertise
- Fully customized treatment protocols
- Advanced skin preparation and recovery systems
- Weekend recovery follow-ups for enhanced healing
- Consistent, visible, long-lasting results

CO2 Laser Resurfacing FAQ
What is CO2 laser resurfacing?
CO2 laser resurfacing uses precise laser energy to remove damaged outer layers of skin while stimulating collagen renewal, revealing smoother, tighter skin. It is considered the gold standard in laser skin rejuvenation and is our most frequently performed treatment for deep wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage and texture irregularities.
Who performs CO2 laser resurfacing at Sensational Skin?
Treatments are physician-led by S. Kent Brown, M.D., Medical Director of Sensational Skin since 1998, who has more than 25 years of CO2 laser experience. Dr. Brown uses the Lumenis UltraPulse Encore laser and customizes every treatment.
What can CO2 laser resurfacing treat?
Deep lines and wrinkles, eyelid laxity and under-eye wrinkles, acne scars and enlarged pores, sun damage and uneven pigmentation, aging of the neck and chest, and pre-cancerous skin lesions.
What is the difference between MaxFX, ActiveFX and full CO2 resurfacing?
They are different depths of treatment on the same UltraPulse platform. ActiveFX is a lighter, fractional treatment for fine lines, pigmentation and sun damage with minimal downtime. MaxFX and full CO2 resurfacing treat deeper and deliver the most dramatic correction. Erbium YAG is a gentler alternative with faster healing but is less effective for deep wrinkles.
How much downtime is there after CO2 laser resurfacing?
Downtime depends on how deep the treatment goes: fractional treatments like ActiveFX involve minimal downtime, while deeper MaxFX and full CO2 resurfacing need more healing time. Every patient receives medical-grade skin preparation, a guided recovery protocol and weekend follow-up care. Dr. Brown will review your expected recovery at your consultation.
How much does CO2 laser resurfacing cost in Scottsdale?
Cost depends on the treatment area and the depth of resurfacing. You will receive an exact price at your complimentary consultation. Financing is available through Cherry, CareCredit and PatientFi.
