What Is CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing?
CO2 laser resurfacing is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment that removes damaged outer layers of skin, stimulating the body’s natural collagen production. The Alma Hybrid laser offers fractional technology, meaning it treats a grid-like pattern of microscopic skin columns while leaving surrounding skin intact for faster recovery and dramatic results.
Dr. Lattman uses this advanced device to safely improve:
- Fine lines and wrinkles (especially around the eyes and mouth)
- Acne scars and other textural irregularities
- Hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and age spots
- Enlarged pores and dull skin tone
- Overall skin laxity and roughness
Since Dr. Lattman is a board-certified oculoplastic surgeon with over 25 years of experience, you can trust that your treatment will be delivered with precision, safety, and a deep understanding of facial anatomy.
The Expertise of an Oculoplastic Surgeon
Choosing a surgeon for upper eyelid surgery is a deeply personal decision. The eyes are one of the most expressive features of the face, and even subtle refinements require a balance of aesthetics and function.
Dr. Lattman, a board-certified oculoplastic surgeon with over 25 years of experience, specializes exclusively in cosmetic and reconstructive procedures of the eyelids. Her background in ophthalmology provides her with an increased understanding of the anatomy and mechanics of the eyes, ensuring every procedure is performed with precision and safety. Patients trust her expertise not only for beautiful results but also for the confidence that their vision and eyelid function remain uncompromised.
A Natural Complement to Cosmetic Eyelid Surgery
Laser resurfacing is one of the most powerful tools for enhancing the results of cosmetic blepharoplasty. When used alongside upper or lower eyelid surgery, the Alma Hybrid laser helps smooth crepey skin and minimizes wrinkles that surgery alone may not address. By addressing both deeper and more superficial concerns, this combination approach delivers powerful yet natural-looking outcomes.
As Dr. Lattman explains in her blog on laser resurfacing, combining CO2 laser with eyelid surgery:
- Enhances overall rejuvenation by treating both loose skin and surface damage
- Improves texture and color around the eyes for a more uniform result
- Allows for a more comprehensive and long-lasting transformation

Is Laser Skin Resurfacing in the Upper East Side Right for You?
Laser resurfacing is ideal for patients who want to reverse signs of aging or improve skin texture without surgery. During your consultation, Dr. Lattman will carefully evaluate your skin type, goals, and medical history to determine if the Alma Hybrid laser is right for you. The best candidates are those with:
- Mild to moderate wrinkles
- Uneven skin tone or sun damage
- Acne scarring or rough skin
- Commitment to sun protection during recovery
What to Expect During Your Treatment
Laser resurfacing with Dr. Lattman is a highly personalized process. After preparing your skin with a topical anesthetic, the laser handpiece is passed gently across the treatment area. Patients typically describe the sensation as warm, prickly, and very manageable.
Depending on the treatment intensity, sessions usually last about 30 minutes. Most patients require only one treatment, though deeper lines or scars may benefit from a series. This laser treatment can be repeated once a year.
Recovery After CO2 Laser Resurfacing
Recovery is typically 5 to 7 days. Immediately after treatment, you may experience redness, swelling, and peeling—similar to a sunburn. Dr. Lattman and her team provide clear aftercare instructions and are always available to answer questions throughout the healing process.
As healing progresses, you’ll notice:
- Smoother skin texture
- Brighter, more even tone
- Gradual tightening and improved elasticity
Results continue to improve for up to six months as collagen production increases.

FAQs-Laser Skin Resurfacing in NYC
Does CO2 laser resurfacing hurt?
Most patients find the treatment very tolerable. Topical numbing cream is applied beforehand to ensure your comfort. IV sedation can also be provided when larger areas, such as the full face and neck, are treated for maximum comfort.
How long do laser resurfacing results last?
With good skincare and sun protection, results can last several years. Touch-up treatments may be performed every 12–24 months to maintain your glow.
Can I combine this with other treatments?
Yes. Laser resurfacing is often paired with blepharoplasty, Botox, or dermal fillers for more complete rejuvenation.
Is laser resurfacing safe for darker skin tones?
Dr. Lattman uses customized settings on the Alma Hybrid and may recommend alternative resurfacing methods depending on your goals, available time for healing, and Fitzpatrick skin type.
How is CO2 laser resurfacing different from other lasers?
CO2 lasers, like the Alma Hybrid used by Dr. Lattman, go deeper than many other resurfacing lasers. This allows them to treat more advanced signs of aging, including deeper wrinkles and scars, with fewer treatment sessions and longer-lasting results.
Is laser resurfacing safe around the eyes?
Yes—especially when performed by a board-certified oculoplastic surgeon like Dr. Lattman. Her specialized training in eye anatomy ensures the highest level of precision and safety when treating delicate areas around the eyes.
How soon will I see results?
Most patients begin to see smoother, brighter skin within 5–7 days. Improvements continue to develop over the next few weeks as new collagen forms, with final results often visible around 3 months post-treatment.
Can laser resurfacing help with crepey eyelid skin?
Yes. CO2 laser resurfacing is one of the most effective treatments for smoothing crepey skin around the eyes, especially when paired with blepharoplasty for more dramatic rejuvenation.
What should I avoid after treatment?
Dr. Lattman will provide detailed aftercare instructions. In general, it’s important to avoid direct sun exposure, exfoliating products, and heavy makeup during the healing period.
Will I need more than one session?
Many patients see excellent results after just one session. However, depending on your goals and skin condition, Dr. Lattman may recommend a series of treatments scheduled several months apart.
Is there a best time of year to have CO2 laser resurfacing?
Fall and winter are ideal, since sun exposure is easier to avoid during recovery. That said, laser resurfacing can be done year-round with proper sun protection.
