About 23 miles (30 minutes) from Rancho Bernardo to our Vista location. Deep skin resurfacing for sun damage, scarring, and texture.
CO2 laser resurfacing is the gold standard for treating sun damage, deep wrinkles, acne scarring, and texture issues that gentler treatments can't reach. A single full-face session can deliver years of skin renewal — equivalent to multiple sessions of milder devices.
Rancho Bernardo patients prefer our smaller-clinic personal attention over the larger Scripps and 4S Ranch chains.

Yes — CO2 vaporizes the damaged surface layer where most pigment sits, dramatically improving sun spots and uneven tone. Strict sun protection during healing is critical to lock in results. Melasma is treated differently. It is heat and light aggravated, so we use a separate pathway for it and will tell you at your consultation whether CO2 is appropriate for your pigment.
Expect 5-7 days of social downtime — redness, peeling, crusting. By day 7-10 most patients return to work and wear makeup. Full healing and pinkness fade over 4-6 weeks.
