"In dermatology offices, the concept of a skin reset isn't new, and it's way less divisive than TikTok might make it seem. In fact, according to Dr. Divya Shokeen, M.D., a board-certified dermatologist who specializes in laser treatments and regenerative procedures, winter has long been the preferred time when patients commit to skin overhauls that require more downtime.

TikTok popularized the "skin reset" trend, which spans treatments from high-frequency wands and clay masks to dermaplaning and CO2 laser overhauls.

Fully ablative CO2 resurfacing stimulates collagen through controlled micro-injuries and delivers significant rejuvenation, requiring a balance between routine maintenance and yearly intensive treatments.
