Enter the New year with Fresh Skin
Fractional CO2 laser is the gold standard for laser skin resurfacing when it comes to treating the effects of facial skin aging. This procedure is used to address a wide range of skin conditions, including:
- Fine lines (including around the eyes)
- Deeper wrinkles around the forehead, mouth, or nose
- Sun damaged skin
- Acne scars
- Hyperpigmentation
It can also be used for other visible areas of the body, such as the neck, chest, or hands.
Additionally, this is an optimal time of year for a CO2 laser, because after the treatment, sun exposure should be avoided for a minimum of six to eight weeks. It is also a time when you may be able to take a few days away from the office.
How it works: Fractional CO2 laser creates micro punctures in the skin while also delivering thermal energy. This removes damaged tissue and stimulates tissue shrinkage while inducing collagen production. Collagen remodeling continues for 3-6 months. Best for lighter skin types not prone to dark spots.
Recovery: This will depend on how aggressive your treatment is. You could have some redness for up to a month during healing. Depending on your healing, you may be able to wear makeup after one week.
