What does a CO2 laser treatment entail?
A CO2 Fractional resurfacing laser is a carbon dioxide laser that precisely eliminates deep outer layers of damaged skin while stimulating the regeneration of healthy skin beneath. It effectively addresses fine to moderately deep wrinkles, photo damage, scarring, skin tone, texture, crepiness, and laxity.
Does CO2 laser treatment cause discomfort?
Yes, CO2 laser treatment can cause some discomfort as it is the most invasive laser treatment available. However, we prioritise our clients comfort throughout the procedure, and the sensation is often likened to a "pins and needles" feeling.
When can I expect to see results after a CO2 laser treatment?
After the skin heals, which usually takes up to 3 weeks, patients may notice some pinkness. During this time, improvements in skin texture and tone become apparent. Full results typically manifest 3-6 months after the initial treatment, once the skin has fully healed.
How long do the results of CO2 laser treatment last?
Improvements from CO2 laser treatment can last for many years. Consistent use of SPF, avoidance of sun exposure, and proper at-home skincare maintenance can prolong the results.
Which areas can be treated with the CO2 laser?
The CO2 laser can be used on specialized areas such as the eyes and around the mouth, but the most common treatment areas are the full face and neck.
