Our Luxar NovaPulse® CO2 laser with NovaScan® produces pulses of infrared light lasting only thousandths of a second each. These pulses vaporize micro-thin layers of skin without charring it. By successively treating and wiping the skin we can assess our laser peeling as it smoothes, tightens and clears the skin. To learn more about how the NovaPulse® CO2 laser is used at the Cosmetic Dermatology Laser Center, read the treatment section on Laser Skin Resurfacing.
