Your skin tells a story, but sometimes, it holds onto a little too much of the past—sun damage, fine lines, uneven texture. At Youthful Images, we specialize in Laser Peels to help refresh and rejuvenate your skin with advanced technology and expert care. With over 30 years of experience in cosmetic skin resurfacing, we offer precision treatments that deliver noticeable results while keeping downtime minimal.
We were among the first in Connecticut to introduce laser resurfacing and have continued to refine our techniques with state-of-the-art devices. Our skilled providers customize each treatment based on skin type, concerns, and goals, ensuring safe and effective results for every patient.
A Laser Peel is a non-invasive treatment that uses laser energy to remove damaged outer layers of skin, stimulating collagen production and encouraging fresh, healthy skin cell turnover. This process helps improve texture, reduce wrinkles, and fade discoloration, revealing a smoother, more radiant complexion.

Life happens, and so does sun exposure, stress, and the natural aging process. Over time, all of these factors start to leave their mark on your skin. Fine lines settle in, sunspots become more stubborn, and that once-smooth texture starts feeling a little less even. Our Avon Laser Peels step in to reset the clock by resurfacing your skin, minimizing wrinkles, acne scars, and pigmentation, and restoring a more even tone. They’re also a great option for improving skin laxity, helping your skin look firmer and more refreshed without surgery.
Before we get started, we’ll meet for a consultation to assess your skin and discuss what you want to achieve. Every face is different, and so is every treatment plan. We’ll take a close look at your skin type, concerns, and lifestyle to determine which type of Laser Peel will work best for you. Whether you’re looking for a light resurfacing or a deeper treatment, we’ll walk you through the process and set clear expectations for results and recovery.
How to Prepare for Your eCO2 Laser Peel
A little prep goes a long way in making sure you get the best results. We recommend staying out of the sun for at least two weeks before your treatment since sun-exposed skin can be more sensitive to lasers. If you use retinoids or exfoliating products, you should pause those a few days beforehand to prevent unnecessary irritation. And on the day of your appointment, come in with clean, makeup-free skin—no lotions, serums, or sunscreen.
Once you’re settled in, we’ll start by applying a topical numbing agent to keep you comfortable. The laser is then carefully applied to your skin, gently removing the outer layer while triggering collagen production beneath the surface. The entire process takes about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the depth of your peel. You might feel a slight warming sensation during the treatment, but most patients describe it as a mild tingling rather than discomfort. Afterward, your skin may appear slightly pink, like a mild sunburn, which is completely normal.
Laser Peels offer a fresh start for your skin, but the best results take a little patience. Within a few days, you’ll notice smoother, brighter skin starting to emerge. Lighter peels have little to no downtime, while deeper resurfacing treatments may involve some peeling and redness for about five to seven days.
How to Take Care of Your Skin After a eCO2 Laser Peel
The key to a great recovery is hydration and sun protection. After your treatment, use a gentle cleanser and a deeply hydrating moisturizer to support healing. Your skin will be a little more sensitive to the sun, so it’s essential to apply SPF 30+ sunscreen daily and avoid direct sun exposure. It’s also normal to experience mild redness or peeling as your skin regenerates—think of it as shedding old layers to reveal the fresh, new skin underneath.
Your skin deserves a reset, and we’re here to help. Whether you’re looking for a subtle refresh or a more advanced resurfacing treatment, Youthful Images offers expert care with real, natural-looking results. Let’s talk about your skin goals and find the best Laser Peel for you.
