The Science Behind AcuPulse CO2 – Laser Ablation
Ablative lasers such as the AcuPulse CO2 system produce laser energy at a 10,600 nm wavelength, which is a carefully studied wavelength for skin treatment. At this wavelength, laser energy is quickly absorbed by water within targeted tissue cells. The water heats up in fractions of a second, reaching a boiling point, causing the targeted tissue to break down and evaporate. As a result, the body responds by triggering healing in the ablated area, as well as collagen production in the deep dermis. The surrounding tissues remain unharmed.
Complementary Treatments
The AcuPulse laser treatment may be paired with other facial rejuvenation techniques as well as routine skin care for a comprehensive procedure that achieves the absolute best results.
Botox
Botox helps prevent wrinkles and preserves your natural, youthful appearance. The active ingredients in this anti-aging injectable work on the wrinkle-causing muscle groups, relaxing them and limiting contractions that lead to wrinkles.
Botox injections can take as little as half an hour to perform, and results typically last two to six months.
Injectable Fillers
Injectable fillers address another aspect of facial aging: volume loss. Deepening folds and creases around the nose and mouth—typically called nasolabial folds—appear when the skin loses elasticity and moisture. Injectable fillers, as their name suggests, provide volumizing treatments to fill sunken areas, creases, and depressions in the skin.
An injectable filler treatment can take as little as 15 to 30 minutes, with minimal downtime, and results are visible almost immediately.
Kybella
Kybella injections are another facial sculpting option that targets submental fat deposits—the stubborn pockets of fat that linger under the chin, creating the appearance of a double chin. The treatment can take as little as half an hour.
Benefits of Using AcuPulse CO2
The best aspects of the AcuPulse CO2 system are that it is highly effective, provides long-term results, is performed quickly, and involves minimal recovery time. The heating effect clears away discolored skin cells, leaving you with a refreshed, smooth, and even complexion.
AcuPulse Customizable Treatment Modes

AcuPulse CO2 Process
Consultations for AcuPulse CO2
Patients in the Oklahoma City area can book a consultation.
Your consultation is an opportunity to meet one-on-one with Dr. Bajaj and discuss your goals. During the consultation, Dr. Bajaj will review your personal goals and assess your specific case to determine a treatment plan that is ideal for you. She will evaluate your medical history, current skin condition, and any other relevant factors to ensure this procedure is right for you. If you are deemed a good candidate, you can schedule your treatment before leaving our office. You will also receive personalized instructions to help you prepare for your AcuPulse CO2 treatment.
The AcuPulse CO2 Treatment
AcuPulse CO2 is performed in-office while you are awake and resting comfortably. Topical anesthetic will be applied to your face, and you will be given protective glasses for your eyes during treatment. A handheld AcuPulse CO2 treatment head is then moved over the targeted area as the laser pulses are emitted, delivering precise laser energy to the skin. After treatment, a moisturizer, such as Aquaphor, is applied to the treated area.
The length of the treatment varies depending on the size of the treatment area. For smaller areas, a session may take as little as ten minutes.
AcuPulse CO2 Results and Recovery
Patients may experience redness, flaking, or skin sensitivity and are advised to avoid sun exposure after treatment. A large portion of patients achieve satisfactory results within a single treatment. Depending on the density or type of skin blemishes and wrinkles, some patients may require a course of multiple sessions to achieve the best results.
The number of treatments and details of an individual treatment course are determined during the initial consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions of AcuPulse CO2 Laser Treatment
What is the AcuPulse CO2 Laser?
AcuPulse CO₂ laser treatment is an advanced, FDA-approved skin resurfacing procedure that uses carbon dioxide (CO₂) laser technology to treat a wide range of skin concerns, particularly those related to aging, scarring, and sun damage.
What does the AcuPulse CO2 laser do?
The AcuPulse device emits focused beams of CO₂ laser energy to:
- Remove damaged outer skin layers
- Stimulate collagen production
- Promote new, healthier skin growth
It works through a technique called fractional resurfacing, meaning it treats tiny, precise zones of skin while leaving surrounding tissue intact. This speeds up healing and reduces downtime compared to older, fully ablative CO₂ lasers.
What types of laser delivery does the AcuPulse CO2 system use?
AcuPulse CO2 features both fiber and free-beam delivery systems. The fiber delivery allows access to difficult-to-reach areas with precision, while the free-beam delivery uses an articulated arm with scanners to control laser energy in user-defined shapes for precise treatment.
What laser operating modes are available with AcuPulse CO2?
The system offers Continuous Wave (CW), Pulser, and SuperPulse modes. The SuperPulse mode delivers high peak power in very short pulses, minimizing residual thermal damage and ensuring precise tissue ablation with minimal side effects.
How does the AcuPulse CO2 scanner technology enhance treatment?
AcuPulse CO2 uses advanced scanners like SurgiTouch™ and AcuScan120™. These scanners allow full or fractional ablative resurfacing, controlling spot size and pattern to customize treatment depth and coverage, improving healing time and outcomes.
How deep can the AcuPulse CO2 laser penetrate the skin?
With SuperPulse technology, the laser can penetrate up to approximately 1 millimeter in a single burst, effectively treating deep skin imperfections while limiting damage to adjacent tissues due to short pulse durations.
Can the AcuPulse CO2 system be customized for different skin conditions?
Yes, customization capabilities are extensive. They include adjustable power settings, multiple pulse modes, three variable spot sizes, and programmable scanning patterns to tailor treatments for specific skin types, lesion sizes, and treatment goals.
What safety features are included in the AcuPulse CO2 laser system?
The system includes an adjustable aiming beam for precise targeting, an electronically controlled air management system, and user memory settings for consistent and reproducible treatment protocols.
Is AcuPulse CO2 suitable for surgical as well as aesthetic procedures?
Yes, AcuPulse CO2 is versatile for both surgical and cosmetic applications, including precise incisions, tumor removal, and resurfacing. Its minimal thermal damage allows for clear tissue margins in surgeries and smooth cosmetic results.
How are patient monitoring and control handled during treatment?
Dr. Bajaj and her staff have full control through a multi-color touch panel, footswitch operation, and live settings adjustments. The system’s high-resolution interface and automatic accessory suggestions assist in efficient patient-specific treatment.
