MixTo™ CO2 Fractionated Resurfacing
Dramatic results with minimal down time


What is MixTo™ CO2 Therapy?

MixTo™ CO2 Therapy is a quick and comfortable laser procedure with 1 week of downtime, used for improving the overall appearance of your skin. The procedure is performed in your physicians office and can be custom tailored to your specific skin conditions and desired outcome.


How does MixTo™ CO2 work?

MixTo™ CO2 Therapy uses a tiny laser beam to treat thousands of pinpoint areas of your skin. Because only a fraction of your skin is directly treated with the laser, the surrounding untreated tissue promotes rapid healing. This skins wound healing response creates new collagen which add firmness and resilience to the skin.


​What is the primary application of MixTo™ CO2?

Based on an assessment of your skin condition and cosmetic goals, your physician may choose to use MixTo™ CO2 Therapy whenever a combination of resurfacing with minimal downtime is desired.

How many  MixTo™ CO2 treatments will I need?

Excellent results can be obtained in just one treatment, though the number of treatments may vary from patient to patient. Your physician can personalize a plan based on your specific needs and may choose to combine MixTo™ CO2 Therapy with other aesthetic procedures to further personalize your treatment.


What will happen during the MixTo™ CO2 procedure?



Will MixTo™ CO2 be uncomfortable?

MixTo™ CO2 Therapy is widely regarded as a comfortable procedure, usually tolerated with the use of a topical numbing cream or an injectable local anesthetic, depending on the depth of treatment. We also premedicate patients with an anti-anxiety medication like Xanax prior to treatment if patients are not driving home.
