A few places nearby offer this. Looking for advice on where and whether it works for 70ish skin? Downtime? Cost? Thanks!

There is no attachment. I think it's straightforward. Thank you

I don't know much about cosmetic skin procedures, but I understand CO2 lasers well. A CO2 laser emits at 10.6um in the IR. That wavelength is strongly absorbed by water. If you expose your skin to it, it will burn the top layer of skin off.

I am not sure why one would do that on purpose, I guess it is to expose the next layer of skin, which is maybe more beautiful?

It is bound to take a week to heal.

Cosmetic CO2 lasers popular procedure in cosmetic surgeons office practice for years. As does Optical practice that offer Aesthetics.

CO2 extremely well for fine lines, skin damage, giving a smooth appearance. Deeper lines require fillers, along with laser to even skin tone. If done properly face will usually recover in 7-10 days.

Sorry OP all my personal recommendations on Plastics professional skill level for CO2 is not within immediate area. However I have used Ocala Eye Aesthetics for facial and skin care rejuvenating with excellent results. Clientele male or female would be comfortable for appointments.
