What It Treats
When fine lines, deep wrinkles, scarring, or stubborn sun damage call for more than a surface peel, CO₂ laser resurfacing delivers transformative renewal—addressing texture, tone, and laxity in a single treatment.
At Form & Function, the SmartXide CO₂ fractional laser creates microscopic energy columns that stimulate deep collagen remodeling while leaving surrounding tissue intact to support faster healing.
