One month. That’s all it took for the change in the photo above. Smoother skin, softer lines, and a jaw that already looks more defined, after a single full face TotalFx CO2 laser treatment.

Our patient couldn’t help but softly smile in her after photos, and her husband couldn’t stop telling her how great she looked. Honestly, results like this are why we do what we do.

What it is

TotalFx is a CO2 laser that resurfaces the skin and remodels collagen in one session. The surface looks smoother and more even right away. Underneath, the laser kicks off fresh collagen, the protein that keeps skin firm. The best part is that collagen keeps building for months, so the result you see at one month is really just the beginning.

Who it suits

It tends to be a good fit for rough or uneven texture, fine lines, sun damage from years in the Florida sun, and early laxity along the jaw. There is some downtime, usually a few days of redness and peeling, so we’ll help you plan around it at your visit.

Who performs it

This treatment was done by Dr. Leah Cohen, a board certified dermatologist. With a CO2 laser, experience matters. The settings can be gentle or aggressive, and reading the skin correctly is what makes the result safe and natural.
