The answer depends on what you are in need of. If you are looking to lift sagging skin, then CO2 resurfacing will not help that much. It can help improve the surface texture of the skin, but does little to lift. If you are looking for volume, CO2 resurfacing will also not help; dermal fillers would be the best option in that case. Short answer is that the best application for CO2 resurfacing is the improvement of acne scars and/or fine lines - texture issues at the skin surface.
