Kirn Plastic Surgery Center offers advanced skin resurfacing and rejuvenation solutions using the Candela CO2 Laser. This laser treatment provides a highly effective, non-surgical option for individuals seeking to improve the appearance of wrinkles, scars, and skin texture. Our team in Lexington, KY, is dedicated to delivering precise and tailored care to help you achieve smoother, more youthful skin.
What is Candela CO2 Laser?
The Candela CO2 Laser is an advanced skin resurfacing treatment that uses carbon dioxide (CO2) technology to remove layers of damaged skin. By delivering short bursts of high-energy light, the CO2 laser vaporizes the top layers of the skin, promoting collagen production and revealing a smoother, more youthful appearance.
This fully integrated CO2 laser is FDA-cleared for over 100 indications, making it an ideal option for skin resurfacing, wrinkle reduction, and scar treatment. This laser system is also known for its versatility; it can perform everything from light peels to deep fractional resurfacing, making it suitable for a variety of skin types and concerns.
Finally, it’s popular for its ability to reduce downtime compared to traditional resurfacing procedures. Patients experience quicker recovery times and less discomfort, making it a popular choice for those seeking effective yet minimally invasive skin rejuvenation options.
What are the Benefits?
With the Candela CO2 Laser, patients experience dramatic skin improvements, including:
- Reduction of fine lines and wrinkles
- Smoother skin texture
- Evened-out skin tone

Ideal Candidates for Candela CO2 Laser
The Candela CO2 Laser is ideal for individuals looking to:
- Address fine lines, deep wrinkles, and scars
- Improve skin texture and tone
- Treat sun damage or pigmentation issues
- Undergo non-surgical skin rejuvenation
However, this treatment is not suitable for individuals with certain skin conditions or active infections in the treatment area. Patients with darker skin tones may require alternative treatment options due to the higher risk of pigmentation changes.
What to Expect During a Candela CO2 Laser Session
The Candela CO2 Laser procedure is performed by plastic surgeons Dr. Ahmed Al Bayati and Dr. David S. Kirn. Patients will be under general anesthesia or local anesthesia, depending on the extent of treatment.Â
The laser is then applied in a controlled manner, precisely removing the top layer of skin. It emits short pulses of concentrated light, precisely targeting damaged skin layers. Each pulse vaporizes the outer layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production beneath the surface, which leads to skin tightening and renewal.
Sessions typically last 30 minutes to one hour, depending on the treatment area. There will be minimal discomfort, often a mild tingling sensation. Most patients achieve optimal results with one to two treatments, depending on the skin’s condition and desired results.

Recovery Period
The laser creates a burn on the skin, so redness and swelling are to be expected. The skin will gradually heal, and new skin cells will emerge. Swelling usually subsides within a few days and redness improves over several weeks. We highly encourage patients to follow all post-care instructions, such as applying moisturizers and sunscreen, to protect the treated area.
Initial results are visible in approximately two weeks, with continuous improvement over the next few months as collagen production increases.
