In this episode of Plastic Surgery Untold, we’re joined by Lana Kerr, CEO and Founder of CO2Lift, along with Dr. Matthew Nykiel of SoCal Plastic Surgery, for a conversation recorded live at the Aesthetics Tech Forum by Octane. What started as a medspa skincare product is now a surgeon-trusted treatment for post-procedure recovery, scar management, and skin health—used both in-office and at home.

Key Topics Discussed:

• How It Works – CO2Lift delivers carbon dioxide through the skin to stimulate oxygenation, tissue repair, and improved healing.

• From Skeptic to Believer – Dr. Nykiel shares how CO2Lift transformed his practice by enhancing recovery after aggressive procedures like lipo and tummy tucks.

• Versatility & Access – Whether used for post-surgical bruising, skin quality, or intimate wellness, the treatment is easy to apply at home and safe for multiple areas.

• Post-Procedure Gold Standard – CO2Lift is becoming a go-to recovery tool for practices looking to reduce downtime and elevate patient experience.

• Empowering Patients – Giving patients something they can actively do to support their healing helps improve outcomes—and confidence.

From improving skin glow to accelerating recovery, CO2Lift is changing how practices support patients beyond the procedure.
