CO2 Laser Resurfacing: This method has been used for many years to treat different skin issues, including scars, wrinkles, warts, enlarged oil glands on the nose, and other conditions. Newest   version of CO2 laser resurfacing use short pulsed light energy (known as ultrapulse) or continuous light beams that deliver in a scanning pattern to remove thin layers of skin with minimal heat damage. Recovery takes up to two weeks.
