CO2 Shouldering

CO2 Laser Shouldering (a descriptive name for the technique, not a standard term)

A procedure that uses a CO2 laser to shave down the steep edges ("shoulders") of boxcar scars, softening the scar borders.

Anesthesia & PainNumbing cream. Held at a 45-degree angle, no stacking; the tip moves along the edge from the moment the foot pedal is pressed (the goal is not to widen the scar but to soften the cliff-like edge).

DowntimeScabbing on the treated edges for 5–7 days, plus about 1 week of redness from the Skin Therapy Program

SessionsAn exception step within a Skin Therapy Program session: for boxcar scars with sharp, cliff-like margins (edges), the borders are gently shaved down with a continuous tip. No separate session needed.

IntervalSame interval as the Skin Therapy Program

MaintenanceSemi-permanent (general guideline, pending doctor confirmation)

What is it?

A CO2 laser is applied to the steep edges of boxcar scars to soften them, reducing the shadow effect that makes scars stand out as light hits them. It involves partial removal of the epidermis and collagen remodeling in the dermis.

Who it's for

Boxcar acne scars; supportive treatment for mild to moderate rolling scars.
