As the seasons change, many people notice their skin feels different — drier, duller, or more textured. While winter often gets blamed for these changes, it also offers a strategic opportunity for deeper skin correction. If skincare alone isn’t giving you the results you want, winter is the ideal time to consider CO₂ laser resurfacing.
At Foxy Face Studio in Orangeville, advanced treatments like Secret Pro CO₂ laser are often best performed during the colder months — and timing plays a bigger role in results than most people realize.
Quick Take
- Less sun exposure = lower risk of pigmentation concerns while healing
- Cooler weather makes recovery + aftercare easier
- More time indoors = fewer lifestyle interruptions
- Results develop over months — perfect timing for spring/summer skin
What Is Secret Pro CO₂ Laser?
Secret Pro CO₂ laser is an advanced fractional laser resurfacing treatment designed to improve skin texture, tone, and visible signs of aging. It creates controlled micro-channels in the skin, triggering your body’s natural healing response and stimulating collagen production.
What makes Secret Pro unique is its ability to combine fractional CO₂ laser resurfacing with RF microneedling, allowing treatment to be customized at different depths. This dual approach supports both surface renewal and deeper skin remodeling for smoother, firmer, more even-looking skin over time.
Think of it as: surface refinement + deeper collagen support, in one customized plan.
Secret Pro by mkkleinpasteIs Winter the Best Time for CO₂ Laser Resurfacing?
Yes. Winter is widely considered the best season for laser resurfacing, especially treatments that require downtime.
- Lower UV exposure: reduces the risk of post-treatment pigmentation issues
- Less heat + sweating: helps keep skin comfortable during recovery
- Fewer outdoor events: makes it easier to follow aftercare
- Better healing environment: skin can focus on repair and collagen regeneration
Treating in winter also allows time for full healing so your results look more refined by spring and summer.
What Skin Concerns Can CO₂ Laser Treat?
CO₂ laser resurfacing is ideal for clients looking to address more advanced skin concerns, including:
- Uneven texture
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Sun damage and pigmentation
- Acne scarring
- Enlarged pores
- Loss of firmness (collagen depletion)
Best for: clients who want visible, long-term improvement — not just a temporary glow.
How Much Downtime Does Secret Pro CO₂ Laser Have?
Downtime varies depending on treatment intensity and individual skin response. Most clients experience:
- Redness and warmth (similar to a sunburn)
- Mild swelling
- Flaking or peeling over several days
Initial recovery typically lasts 3–7 days, with continued improvement developing over the following weeks and months as collagen rebuilds. Results can continue to improve for 3–6 months after treatment.
Typical Timeline
- Days 1–3: redness, warmth, mild swelling
- Days 3–7: flaking/peeling, texture changes
- Weeks 2–6: skin looks smoother + more even
- Months 3–6: collagen results continue to build
