Between a hot summer out in the sun and preparing for cooling weather, your skin can’t quite catch a break.
Even the most dedicated to a healthy skincare routine will still experience trouble from time to time.
If you really want to replenish aged, dehydrated, hyperpigmented, or wrinkled skin, you may need a little more help than the average skin care regimen can provide—and that’s where lasers come into play.
Our team of trained, experienced professionals is always looking for the latest, greatest, and safest technology to provide our patients with non-invasive aesthetic treatments. That’s why we love the AcuPulse CO2 laser!

Who is AcuPulse for?
Generally, AcuPulse is a great choice for those who want to avoid injectables like Botox or fillers.
However, it’s also great for patients who want to improve damage caused by sun, smoking, or treat surgical and traumatic scars.
What to Expect
Have you decided AcuPulse is what you’re looking for? Here’s everything you need to know.
The treatment time depends on the area being treated but can last anywhere from 15 minutes to 90 minutes.
Typically, patients report minor or no discomfort for superficial treatments. Patients getting deep treatments (advanced sun damage or scarring) report more discomfort.
However, a topical anesthetic will be applied before any procedure. Also, most patients choose to take Tylenol or Ibuprofen before their treatment.
While you will notice improvements right away, the best results are seen within 3-6 months. The lasting effects of your treatment will largely depend on:
- Your lifestyle.
- The environment you live and work in.
- Your skincare routine.
Before any treatment, you’ll have a consultation in which we will outline your skincare goals as well as look at your medical history.
In this consultation, we will give you all the pre-treatment skin prep. We recommend avoiding sun exposure, tanning/self-tanning at least two weeks before and for 48 hours after treatment.
Schedule Your Consultation
We want to get a better idea of your skin concerns and desires, during this consultation we’ll dive into all the above and get you ready for your treatment.
