RESURFACING

What Is Solaria® Co2 Skin Resurfacing?

This powerful fractional CO2 laser delivers precise microbeams of energy to resurface damaged skin while stimulating deep collagen and elastin production. It creates controlled micro-injuries that remove old, damaged layers and trigger your body’s natural renewal process for smoother, tighter, more youthful skin.

At Reve Medical Aesthetics, we customize intensity for your needs—ideal for sun spots, wrinkles, texture, and scars from our desert climate.

  • At Reve Medical Aesthetics, we offer competitive, transparent pricing with packages and membership options for great value. Costs vary by area and intensity—typically in the range of other premium resurfacing treatments, starting at just $1,500. Get your personalized quote during consultation.

  • Sessions typically start at 1 hour and progress upward depending on the number of treatment areas and the intensity of the treatment. This includes 45 minutes of numbing time.

  • Downtime is customizable based on treatment intensity.

    Typical recovery: 3–7 days of visible social downtime for most moderate treatments (redness, swelling, and peeling like a moderate-to-deep sunburn). Lighter settings allow quicker return to activities (often 24–48 hours with makeup); deeper treatments may need up to 7–14 days.

    Day-by-day expectations:

    • Day 1: Redness, warmth, tightness, and mild swelling (sunburn sensation). Rest and use cooling measures.

    • Days 2–3: Peak redness/swelling; skin may feel dry or start flaking.

    • Days 4–7: Peeling and flaking as old skin sheds, revealing fresher skin underneath. Most clients feel comfortable returning to work/socializing.

    • Week 2+: Pinkness fades; full collagen remodeling continues for months for smoother, tighter, glowing skin.

    Many of our clients plan around a long weekend and return to normal activities when they are looking refreshed. We tailor settings to balance results and your schedule.

  • We provide a personalized aftercare guidance to ensure optimal healing and results. Key steps include:

    • Immediate (first 24–48 hours): Keep skin clean and moisturized with prescribed gentle cleanser and healing ointment. Use cool compresses for comfort. Avoid hot water, saunas, or heavy activity.

    • Cleansing & Moisturizing: Gentle, fragrance-free cleansing multiple times daily. Apply hydrating balm or ointment as directed—do not let skin dry out.

    • Peeling: Let skin flake naturally—never pick or scrub. This reveals beautiful new skin.

    • Sun Protection (Critical in AZ): Strict avoidance of direct sun for 7–10 days minimum. Use broad-spectrum SPF 30+ (we recommend mineral-based) daily and reapply. Hats and shade are your friends for long-term results.

    • What to Avoid: Active ingredients (retinol, acids, vitamin C) for 10–14 days; makeup until peeling subsides (usually 5–7 days); strenuous exercise, alcohol, and smoking.

    • Lifestyle: Stay hydrated, sleep elevated if swollen, and follow our protocol exactly for best outcomes.

    Our team at Reve Medical Aesthetics is here every step—follow-ups ensure smooth healing. The short downtime delivers long-lasting transformation: reduced wrinkles, scars, sun damage, and radiant texture.

  • Proper preparation helps ensure optimal results, faster healing, and minimizes risks with Solaria CO2 fractional resurfacing. Follow these guidelines closely. We’ll review everything during your consultation and provide personalized instructions.

    2–4 Weeks Before Treatment

    • Avoid sun exposure and tanning

    • Discontinue irritating products

    • Medications & Supplements: Inform us about blood thinners, photosensitizing meds (e.g., certain antibiotics like doxycycline), supplements (fish oil, vitamin E), or Accutane history (within the past year).

    • Skin conditioning: We may recommend gentle moisturizing.

    1 Week Before Treatment

    • Continue strict sun protection.

    • Stop waxing, threading, or depilatory creams in the treatment area (shaving is okay).

    • Avoid chemical peels, microneedling, or other resurfacing procedures.

    • Notify us if you have a history of cold sores/herpes (we may prescribe prophylactic antiviral medication).

    24–48 Hours Before & Day Of Treatment

    • Arrive with clean skin: No makeup, lotions, creams, or oils on the treatment area.

    • Stay hydrated and get good rest.

    • Avoid alcohol and smoking (these impair healing).

    • Wear comfortable clothing and arrange a ride if needed (though most clients drive themselves).

What Are the Benefits of Solaria® Co2 Laser?

Solaria CO2 dramatically improves fine lines, deep wrinkles, sun damage, age spots, acne scars, uneven tone, texture, and mild laxity. It delivers a brighter, smoother, firmer complexion with long-lasting collagen remodeling.

Sierra Vista clients at Reve love how it reverses years of UV exposure for radiant, healthy skin. Many see visible improvements after one session, with full results building over months. Our RN expertise ensures safe, personalized treatments.

Is my Treatment Painful?

With topical numbing cream applied beforehand, most clients find Solaria CO2 very tolerable—described as a warm, prickling sensation. Our team at Reve prioritizes your comfort throughout.

Post-treatment, skin feels like a sunburn, which is manageable with our aftercare guidance. Don’t let concerns stop you from incredible rejuvenation. Sierra Vista patients trust Reve for gentle, effective care.

How Many Co2 Treatments Are Needed?

Many of our clients achieve outstanding results with just 1-3 sessions (spaced weeks/months apart). Improvements start quickly, with full collagen benefits visible in 3-6 months and lasting years with good skincare and sun protection.

In Sierra Vista’s harsh sun, Solaria® is your best defense for lasting rejuvenation. At Reve, we create tailored plans for maximum value. Invest in skin that looks years younger—schedule your consultation at Reve Medical Aesthetics

  • Just had an amazing experience at Reve! I’ve been wanting to try Botox for a stubborn wrinkle between my brows, and Bekah was incredible. She was professional, gentle, and truly gifted. She had me injected in seconds and I barely felt a thing. I also got IPL for my rosacea and noticed a difference right away. My skin tone looked more even, and even the texture felt silky smooth. Highly recommend this med spa if you’re looking for a welcoming space, talented injectors, and real results!

  • After my free consultation, Bekah walked me through what she recommended. She broke down the 3 types of toxins available, price per unit, efficacy, and the longevity of each. She provided me with an estimated price, and I booked immediately.
