CO₂RE Laser Resurfacing in Kailua, HI – Renew Your Skin with Confidence
Reverse Sun Damage, Scars, and Aging with CO₂RE Laser Treatments
Living in Hawaii means enjoying sunshine and beach days — but it can also mean premature skin aging, sun damage, and stubborn pigmentation. CO₂RE laser resurfacing is a cutting-edge treatment that helps remove damaged skin layers, stimulate collagen, and reveal smoother, clearer, more youthful skin.
At Hawaiian Islands Dermatology in Kailua, we offer customized CO₂RE laser treatments to safely and effectively rejuvenate your skin — all performed by a licensed provider experienced in Hawaii-specific skin concerns.
What Is CO₂RE Laser Resurfacing?
CO₂RE is a fractional CO2 laser that treats skin at both the surface and deeper layers to target:
-
Fine lines and wrinkles
-
Acne scars and surgical scars
-
Sun spots and uneven pigmentation
-
Rough texture and dull skin
-
Stretch marks
-
Enlarged pores
It works by creating controlled micro-injuries that trigger your body’s natural healing response, stimulating new collagen and revealing smoother, firmer skin.
