How Fractional Laser Skin Resurfacing Works
CO2 fractional laser resurfacing utilizes laser energy to create microscopic injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen production and promoting the natural healing process. As the skin regenerates, it becomes firmer, smoother, and more even toned. This treatment can address a variety of concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and sunspots.
Benefits of CO2 Fractional Laser Resurfacing
- Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
- Improves skin tone and texture
- Diminishes sun damage and hyperpigmentation
- Minimizes the appearance of acne scars
- Enhances skin firmness and elasticity
CO2 Laser Skin Renewal: Consultation and Candidates
Advancements in CO2 technology have made resurfacing procedures compatible with a wider range of skin types and color tones. However, although modern CO2 fractional lasers are an appropriate skin resurfacing option for many individuals, patients with darker skin tones and certain skin conditions may not be suitable candidates or may require specific pre-treatment and post-treatment care.
A consultation with Dr. Demetri will enable him to review your health history, and evaluate your skin type, tone, and structure, ensuring that you receive personalized treatment recommendations that are designed to rejuvenate your skin safely and effectively.
Laser Resurfacing: What to Expect During Treatment
During your session, a topical anesthetic may be applied for comfort. The laser delivers controlled energy to the skin, creating micro-channels that stimulate collagen renewal and skin cell turnover, eliminating surface damage and texture imperfections. The treatment typically lasts between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the area being treated.
CO2 Laser Recovery and Visible Results
Following treatment, patients may experience redness, swelling, and mild peeling as the skin heals. Most patients notice visible improvements within a few weeks, with continued enhancement over the next few months as collagen production increases. Proper aftercare, including sun protection and hydration, is essential for optimal results.
Complementary Treatments: Soprano ICE Laser Hair Removal
To enhance your laser skin resurfacing results, we also offer Soprano ICE laser hair removal, which provides long-lasting hair reduction for a smoother skin surface. This advanced laser technology ensures comfortable and effective treatments, allowing you to achieve hair-free skin without downtime.
