CO2
If you’re looking for a lasting, complete overhaul of your skin, CO2 Skin Resurfacing may be the right choice for you. It can rejuvenate the texture and tone of your skin and improve wrinkles and laxity. Whether you have fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, or discoloration, CO2 resurfacing can offer a significant improvement after one treatment. We like to call our CO2 the “King Kong” of lasers. After receiving an CO2 treatment you will obtain total skin rejuvenation, and it can erase decades of sun damage, pigmentation, and lines.
The CO2 Laser penetrates the skin using multiple laser beams, which erase skin imperfections and promote deep collagen regeneration. By creating tiny micro-wounds spaced apart in the skin, our doctor is treating only a fraction of the skin’s surface, but total resurfacing is achieved via this “fractionated” method.
Most patients need only one treatment. Improvements will be noticeable within days of your first treatment. Your provider will assess your skin during your consultation and educate you on why CO2 laser treatment is right for you.
