What is CO2 Laser Resurfacing?

During a CO2 laser resurfacing treatment, focused light beams are directed at the skin, where they are absorbed by the water in surface skin cells, causing this superficial layer to vaporize. At the same time, the middle layer of skin, or dermis, is heated, causing it to produce more collagen. As both layers heal, fresh skin cells are produced to replace the old damaged layers. This type of laser resurfacing is excellent for targeting specific areas of the skin without damaging nearby tissue.

Procedure

After cleansing your skin, your aesthetic specialist will apply a topical numbing cream to minimize any discomfort from the laser. You will then recline comfortably while they carefully guide the device over the skin on your face. During this time, they utilize an advanced Zimmer Cooler which greatly reduces the heat during the procedure and maximizes patient comfort. In addition to using the laser’s different modes to target specific areas of concern, such as wrinkles, sun spots, or acne scars, they will also focus on providing comprehensive rejuvenation to give your entire complexion a youthful, refreshed glow.

Results, Recovery, and Aftercare

The time it takes for your skin to recover from CO2 laser resurfacing will depend on the settings used in your individual treatment. At your consultation, your provider can help you understand the levels of treatment that are possible to help address your skin concerns, ranging from conservative to aggressive. You can expect your skin to be slightly red and sensitive or to peel for anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. Areas of hyperpigmentation targeted by the laser may turn darker before sloughing off. We will give you clear aftercare instructions to promote your skin’s optimal healing during this time.
