Fractional CO₂ Laser Treatment

Q: How many sessions of CO₂ Laser will I need?

For skin resurfacing, many patients see significant improvement after just one session. However, for deep acne scars or advanced wrinkling, a series of 2–3 treatments may be recommended. For vaginal rejuvenation, a standard protocol typically consists of 3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart.

Q: How long is the downtime after CO₂ Laser?

Skin Resurfacing: Expect 3–7 days of social downtime. Your skin will feel like a sunburn and may peel or flake as the new, healthy skin surfaces. Vaginal Rejuvenation: Minimal downtime if any. Most patients return to their daily routine immediately, though we recommend refraining from intimate activity for about 3–5 days.

Q: How long does the CO₂ Laser procedure take?

The CO₂ laser procedure typically takes 15–30 minutes, depending on the treatment area and the procedure being performed. For skin resurfacing treatments, a topical numbing cream is applied for approximately 30 minutes beforehand to maximize comfort. Internal vaginal CO₂ laser treatments do not require numbing and are generally well tolerated.

Q: Can CO₂ laser treatment be combined with other procedures?

Yes. CO₂ laser treatment can be combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to enhance healing and support collagen production. PRP uses growth factors from your own blood to promote tissue repair and may improve recovery and overall results. During your consultation, we will determine whether combining PRP with your CO₂ laser treatment is appropriate based on your goals and the area being treated.

CO₂ Laser Skin Resurfacing & Vaginal Rejuvenation in Marlton, NJ

At Revive GYN, we offer one of the most advanced solutions in skin and intimate wellness: fractional CO₂ laser therapy. This powerful technology treats both external skin and internal vaginal tissue using a dual-mode system designed for precision, safety, and natural-looking results.

Whether you're addressing fine lines, scars, skin laxity, or vaginal changes after childbirth or menopause, our CO₂ laser treatments deliver visible improvement with minimal downtime.

What Is a Fractional CO₂ Laser?

Fractional CO₂ laser works by creating thousands of microscopic channels in the skin or mucosa. This "fractional" approach means only a portion of the tissue is treated at once, leaving surrounding tissue intact to act as a reservoir for rapid healing.

The process triggers two vital biological responses:

Immediate Tightening: The heat from the laser causes existing collagen fibers to contract.‍
Long-term Regeneration: The controlled injury stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin, resurfacing the skin and tightening tissue from within.

What Does CO₂ Laser Treat?

Our dual-mode system allows us to switch seamlessly between aesthetic skin resurfacing and intimate wellness.

Laser Skin Resurfacing (Face & Body)

Aging: Fine lines, deep wrinkles, and loose skin (face, neck, chest, or abdomen).
Scars: Acne scars and surgical scarring.
Pigmentation: Sun damage, age spots, and uneven skin tone.
Texture: Rough skin texture and enlarged pores.

Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation

Laxity: Tightening the vaginal canal after aging or childbirth.

CO₂ Laser vs. RF Microneedling, ThermiSmooth, and Fusion Plasma: Which Is Right for You?

Not every skin concern calls for the same energy device. CO₂ laser is an ablative technology, meaning it removes a controlled layer of tissue to trigger the deepest level of resurfacing and collagen remodeling — this makes it the stronger choice for visible scarring, significant sun damage, or more advanced texture and wrinkling. For a gentler, non-ablative option with less downtime, RF microneedling and ThermiSmooth stimulate collagen without removing the skin's surface, making them a better fit for mild laxity, prevention, or patients who want little to no downtime. Fusion Plasma offers a middle path, using plasma energy to resurface and tighten with less recovery than CO₂ laser but more intensity than RF alone.

During your consultation, we'll help you determine which technology — or which combination — matches your skin concern, downtime tolerance, and goals.

Is CO₂ Laser Treatment Right for You?

This treatment is ideal if you are looking to:

Rejuvenate your skin for a smoother, younger-looking appearance
Improve scars, pigmentation, or skin texture
Restore vaginal tightness, lubrication, and comfort without surgery
Address intimacy concerns after childbirth or menopause

Note: Internal vaginal treatment is not recommended during pregnancy or for clients with active infections or certain medical conditions. A consultation is required to ensure safety.

I’ve been to a few other offices before coming to Revive, and the difference is noticeable the moment you walk through the door. You’re taken care of by an excellent clinical team. Every staff member was attentive, professional and genuinely sweet. Thank you to the team.

Dr. Elshoreya sets a high standard for physicians working in women’s healthcare. Choosing him was the right decision. Like any good physician, he reassured me that I was in good hands. What makes him great, though, is the clarity and simplicity with which he communicates, all while treating you with the respect you deserve. He’ll speak to you like a person, not just his patient. That quality, along with the many others he demonstrates, is what turns a doctor into the kind of doctor you hope to find. He has excellent bedside manners, and he’s consistent and procedural (meaning no surprises).

What I appreciate is there’s always a female medical assistant in the exam room. She is actively involved in the conversation, not simply there to observe. It’s evident they work well together as a team. In my opinion this reflects the office’s commitment to patient well-being. They’re also all super friendly and easy to talk to!

Above all, his years of experience and the consistency of outstanding results speak for themselves. I won’t share the reason for my visit, but I will say that I am very pleased.

Thank you, Dr. Elshoreya and the ENTIRE team!

I am so incredibly happy that I chose Dr. Elshoreya for my recent vaginoplasty and perineoplasty. As a critical care nurse, I have seen a lot of surgical care, and I can say without hesitation that the level of care I received here is unmatched.

I underwent a lengthy four -hour procedure, and from the start, Dr. Elshoreya was exceptional. He is incredibly kind, patient, and thorough—he takes so much time to walk you through every surgical and non-surgical option, never making you feel rushed. It is no surprise at all that he won the award for 'Best Vaginoplasty' last year; His expertise is truly top-tier.

Beyond his skill, the environment he and his staff have created is so warm and welcoming. Special shout out to Medical Assistant, Vanessa who is also kind and caring, and is one of the nicest people I have ever met. Dr Elshoreya is genuinely sweet, makes you feel like family (he even gives the best hugs!), and has been incredibly accessible post-op. He encouraged me to call anytime with questions, which gave me so much peace of mind during my recovery.

If you are looking for a surgeon who combines world-class surgical talent with sincere compassion and a supportive staff, look no further. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

3mo post labiaplasty: If you’re looking for award winning results, Dr E is your guy. He is incredible in so many ways; his bedside manner is calm, educational and nonjudgmental. I typically try not to use the word perfect, but the results of my labiaplasty are just that - perfect!
The staff at Revive heightens the quality of care that you receive from the second you walk in the door. The ladies are so sweet, welcoming and accommodating. I’ve had an outstanding experience from day one and highly recommend looking into what Revive can do for you. They’re THE BEST!

Frequently Asked Questions

How many sessions of CO₂ Laser will I need?

For skin resurfacing, many patients see significant improvement after just one session. However, for deep acne scars or advanced wrinkling, a series of 2–3 treatments may be recommended.
For vaginal rejuvenation, a standard protocol typically consists of 3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart.

When will I see results?

You will notice an immediate tightening of the tissue, but the real "magic" happens as your body produces new collagen. Optimal results for skin texture and tone typically appear 3–6 months after treatment and can continue to improve for up to a year.

Does CO₂ Laser hurt?

We prioritize your comfort. For skin resurfacing, we apply a strong topical numbing cream before the procedure. Most patients describe the sensation as an intense warmth or a "prickling" feeling.

Internal vaginal treatments are generally not painful, as the tissue has fewer pain receptors, and often require no anesthesia at all.

How long is the downtime after CO₂ Laser?

Skin Resurfacing: Expect 3–7 days of social downtime. Your skin will feel like a sunburn and may peel or flake as the new, healthy skin surfaces.
Vaginal Rejuvenation: Minimal downtime if any. Most patients return to their daily routine immediately, though we recommend refraining from intimate activity for about 3–5 days.

Is CO₂ Laser treatment safe for all skin types?

While CO₂ lasers are incredibly effective, they require expert settings for different skin tones. During your consultation at Revive GYN, we will assess your skin type to ensure the laser settings are customized for your safety and to prevent hyperpigmentation.
