Rejuvenate, Refresh, and Renew with eCO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing at SightMD
At SightMD, we’re proud to offer the latest innovation in laser skin rejuvenation: the eCO2 Plus™ Laser by Lutronic. This top-tier fractional ablative CO2 laser is now available at our Surgical Center located in Shirley, NY (SSC)—bringing transformative, precision-driven care to your skin with minimal downtime and long-lasting results.
What is the eCO2 Laser?
The eCO2 Plus™ is a cutting-edge, customizable fractional CO2 laser that offers ultra-precise treatment for a variety of skin concerns. It’s the gold standard for facial rejuvenation, lower eyelid wrinkle treatment, and scar and pigmentation correction—all while enhancing patient comfort and safety.
This laser combines the power of deep resurfacing with innovative technology like Controlled Chaos Technology (CCT™) and EcoTone™ for a more even, effective, and comfortable treatment experience.
What Can It Treat?
Whether you’re looking to address signs of aging or improve skin texture and tone, the eCO2 laser is designed to help you achieve smoother, healthier-looking skin.
- Wrinkles & Fine Lines – Especially effective for lower eyelid wrinkles—often used as part of a scarless lower blepharoplasty, without any external incisions.
- Scars – Smooths out the texture of acne scars, surgical scars, and other irregularities in the skin.
- Pigmentation – Fades sun spots, age spots, and uneven skin tone for a more youthful complexion.
- Eyelid Surgery (Laser-Assisted Blepharoplasty) – With our specialized handpiece, we can now use the laser to make ultra-precise incisions in eyelid surgery, allowing for better accuracy and potentially faster healing.
How It Works
The eCO2 laser uses fractional technology to deliver laser energy into the skin in microscopic columns, stimulating collagen production and encouraging the body’s natural healing process.
It’s also highly customizable—with the ability to adjust depth, energy level, and density—allowing us to tailor each treatment to your specific skin type, concerns, and recovery preferences.

Frequently Asked Questions
Experiencing some discomfort with CO2 lasers is common, particularly during deeper treatments. To reduce this discomfort, we always administer local anesthesia, either through lidocaine injections under the skin or as a nerve block. Additionally, we can offer sedation to enhance your comfort during the procedure. Afterward, you may feel mild pain, typically a burning sensation for the first 24 hours as your skin heals.
Most most patients return to normal activities within five days. For the first three to five days, avoid heavy lifting and bending. We recommend using Vaseline, Aquaphor, or vinegar scrubs on the laser-treated areas, as the scabs typically fall off within a week. After this period, your skin may appear pink or red, similar to a sunburn. To prevent burning and dryness, we suggest applying moisturizer and sunscreen. At this stage, you can also use makeup or cover-up over the treated areas.
We assess your skin thoroughly and tailor the settings to guarantee both safety and effectiveness. Some skin types may need more cautious settings or pretreatment with skincare products. This treatment is not suitable for individuals with darker skin tones, as the risk of hypopigmentation outweighs the benefits of achieving smoother skin
