A Philosophy That Built Shape of You
In aesthetics, there is a simple truth that professionals learn over time: treatments that truly work tend to stay around. Technologies come and go, trends rise and fall, but the treatments that consistently deliver real results endure.
One of those treatments is becoming a fast Favorite at Shape of You Medical Spa in Ellisville, Missouri. CO₂ laser resurfacing.
For decades, CO₂ resurfacing has been one of the most powerful tools available for improving skin texture, tightening the skin, reducing wrinkles, and restoring a more youthful appearance. It’s often considered the gold standard in skin resurfacing — not because it’s new, but because it works.
However, traditional CO₂ resurfacing has historically come with a trade-off: aggressive treatment depths, significant discomfort, and long recovery periods. Many patients have been told to expect two weeks or more of healing, with redness, scabbing, and downtime that can make daily life difficult.
At Shape of You, we asked a simple question:
If CO₂ works so well… why not make it work even better?
The answer led to the development of a technique that is now gaining attention among patients and providers alike.
The Shallow CO₂ x2™ Non-Surgical Facelift simply refines the process — combining the proven power of CO₂ with a modern approach that prioritizes:
• Better healing
• Better customization
• Better patient experience
• Better outcomes
CO₂ resurfacing has been around a long time.
Not because it’s trendy.
Because it works.
And with the Shallow CO₂ x2™ Non-Surgical Facelift, Shape of You has taken one of the most trusted aesthetic treatments in history and made it safer, smarter, and more effective than ever.

CO2 laser resurfacing can treat numerous cosmetic and medical skin issues, from visible signs of aging and sun damage to scars and skin cancer.
At Shape of You, we believe in a philosophy that has guided many of our innovations:
Keep it simple.
Just as we helped improve outcomes in the Ultherapy industry by popularizing the 2-Step Ultherapy Initial Procedure, we applied the same thinking to CO₂ resurfacing.
Instead of performing one extremely deep treatment, we developed the Shallow CO₂ x2™ Non-Surgical Facelift — a smarter, staged approach that produces remarkable results with significantly less downtime.
During the first procedure, the treatment is performed at approximately half the depth of what you might normally expect from a traditional full-depth CO₂ resurfacing.
The goal is simple:
Start the collagen rebuilding process without overwhelming the skin.
Patients typically leave the office looking and feeling like they spent a little too much time in the sun — slightly red, warm, but very manageable.
Because the treatment is performed at a shallower depth:
Within 3–5 days, most clients have skin that looks fresh and rejuvenated, often slightly pink but very presentable for work, school, or everyday life.
Meanwhile, something important is happening beneath the surface:
collagen production has already begun.
Approximately 4–6 weeks later, patients return for the second treatment.
This is where the Shallow CO₂ x2™ technique truly separates itself from traditional resurfacing.
By this point, the provider can evaluate:
Rather than treating the entire face aggressively from the start, the provider now has the ability to customize the second treatment with precision.
Some areas may only need light treatment.
Others — such as deeper wrinkles or more damaged skin — may benefit from slightly deeper resurfacing.
This targeted approach produces several key advantages:
• Less pain
• Less downtime
• Lower risk
• More customized treatment
• Better overall results
Traditional resurfacing assumes every part of the face needs the same level of treatment.
But in reality, skin ages differently across the face.
The Shallow CO₂ x2™ approach respects this reality, allowing the provider to refine the treatment based on real-time results from the first session.
Think of it like sculpting rather than blasting.
The result is smoother skin, tighter texture, improved tone, and a more youthful appearance — achieved in a way that is safer and more manageable for modern lifestyles.
At Shape of You, innovation doesn’t always mean inventing something completely new.
Sometimes it means taking something that already works and making it smarter.
CO₂ resurfacing has stood the test of time because it delivers results.

Here’s an idea of what to expect on the day of your CO2 laser treatment:
You may need more than one treatment session, depending on the treatment required and intensity of the laser used.
CO2 laser resurfacing can treat numerous cosmetic and medical skin issues, from visible signs of aging and sun damage to scars and skin cancer.
CO2 laser resurfacing can lessen the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It may prove especially effective on:
Not only can it reduce the appearance of wrinkles right away, it also encourages collagen production, which can improve the health of your skin over time.
Exposure to UV light may contribute to visible signs of skin aging, such as:
CO2 laser resurfacing can significantly reduce the appearance of all of the above.
Common side effects of CO2 laser resurfacing include:
Deeper, more extensive resurfacing can leave your skin looking and feeling like it might after severe sunburn. Your skin might also ooze and blister.
CO2 laser resurfacing can occasionally lead to:
These days you won't see a celebrity $150,000 Deep Plane Face Lift that doesn't include a CO2 LASER TREATMENT / RE-SURFACING. This is because they successfully address fine lines and wrinkles; discoloration (including sun damage and age spots); acne scars; stretch marks; and uneven skin texture on the face, neck, and chest. Laser resurfacing addresses a wide range of concerns beyond just aging and removing layers of dead and damaged skin. A good candidate will see smoother, clearer, brighter skin once they’ve healed. This is also the perfect complement to those that are on an Ultherapy regimen. For those that truly want to achieve flawless skin with exceptional results and looking fresh from the fountain of youth!
Please note this procedure has down time of at least 4-7 days. Deeper treatments can take even longer to heal.
C02 laser resurfacing uses pulses of laser light. These beams penetrate the skin’s surface, where water in the skin cells absorbs them. When this happens, the epidermis, or superficial layer of your skin, is vaporized. The dermis, or middle layer, heats up, stimulating the growth of new collagen fibers. As the area heals, new firmer, smoother skin replaces the old layers.
During CO2 laser resurfacing, your C02 Aesthetic Professional Technician can target specific areas of your skin with precision, so the treatment won’t affect the rest of the skin nearby.
This is a perfect complement to Ultherapy for those that truly want to achieve flawless skin and exceptional results and keep you looking fresh from the fountain of youth!
