Why Your Provider Matters: The Surgeon-Directed Difference
CO2 Laser Resurfacing is an advanced medical procedure, not a simple spa service. While many clinics in Winnipeg operate in isolation, the laser specialists at The First Glance work under the direct mentorship of Board Certified Plastic Surgeons.
Beyond the Weekend Course CO2 lasers use powerful thermal energy to vaporize tissue. Our team possesses a depth of anatomical knowledge that goes far beyond standard certification. By training alongside our surgeons, our providers understand the complex thermal dynamics of the skin, ensuring your treatment is delivered at the precise depth needed for safe, transformative results without compromising skin integrity.
The "Surgical-Grade" Standard We adhere to the highest standards of sterility and safety. This surgeon-led oversight ensures your CO2 Laser treatment is performed with exceptional precision. We bridge the gap between non-invasive treatments and surgery, delivering results that are safer, deeper, and visibly superior to spa-grade alternatives.
What is CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing?
CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) Laser Resurfacing is a premier, ablative medical procedure designed to correct deep-seated skin imperfections that topical skincare and non-invasive lasers simply cannot touch.
It works by delivering precise columns of thermal energy into the dermis, instantly vaporizing old, damaged tissue. This "controlled injury" triggers a profound healing response, stimulating the long-term production of new, healthy collagen and elastin.
The Result: As the skin renews, a revitalized layer emerges—significantly smoother, tighter, and more radiant than before.
What We Treat
This protocol is the premier choice in Winnipeg for patients seeking profound correction rather than temporary improvement. It is specifically calibrated to target:
Deep Wrinkles & Static Lines: Dramatically reduces etched-in lines around the mouth (perioral lines), eyes, and forehead that injectables cannot fully address.
Acne & Surgical Scars: Remodels rigid scar tissue from within, smoothing out pitting, rolling scars, and uneven topography.
Advanced Textural Issues: Resurfaces rough, dull, or environmentally damaged skin to reveal a polished finish.
Enlarged Pores: Tightens the surrounding skin matrix, significantly reducing visible pore size.
Cumulative Sun Damage: Corrects stubborn pigmentation, age spots, and uneven skin tone.
Our Technology: The Alma Hybrid™ Advantage
Not all laser resurfacing is created equal. At The First Glance, we utilize the Alma Hybrid™, a breakthrough platform that sets a new global benchmark for safety, precision, and recovery speed.
While traditional CO2 lasers are powerful, they are notorious for prolonged downtime. The Alma Hybrid™ changes the game by simultaneously delivering three powerful technologies in one customized treatment:
-
CO2 Laser (10,600 nm): The Resurfacer. This ablative wavelength vaporizes damaged tissue layer-by-layer to erase deep wrinkles and scars.
-
1570nm Non-Ablative Laser: The Tightener. This creates a deep thermal effect to stimulate collagen synthesis without breaking the surface. Crucially, this wavelength seals the skin as the CO2 works, reducing healing time by up to 50% compared to older devices.
-
IMPACT™ Ultrasound: The Delivery System. Patented acoustic pressure technology drives medical-grade active ingredients deep into the skin channels created by the laser, maximizing absorption and enhancing results.
Why This Matters: You receive the dramatic, transformative results of a surgical-grade CO2 laser, but with a significantly faster, safer, and more comfortable recovery.
Your Road to Rejuvenation
1. Consultation & Assessment. Your safety is paramount. You will meet with our expert team to review your medical history and skin type. We ensure you are the right candidate for CO2 resurfacing before proceeding.
2. Preparation & Comfort. On the day of treatment, a prescription-grade topical anesthetic is applied for 45–60 minutes to numb the area. Most patients report feeling a sensation of heat or "prickling" during the session, but the device's integrated cooling system provides continuous relief.
3. Recovery Timeline
Days 1–3: Expect redness and swelling, similar to a significant sunburn.
Days 4–7: The old skin will darken and peel away. This is the "shedding" phase where the new skin emerges.
Day 7+: Most patients can return to wearing makeup and social activities. Your skin will continue to improve and tighten for 3 to 6 months as collagen rebuilds.
