Laser scar resurfacing
Fractional Carbon Dioxide (CO2) laser is the gold standard for minimally invasive scar revision & skin rejuvenation. This treatment excels at treating deeper wrinkles, and more severe textural changes from sun damage, wrinkles, stretch marks, acne scars and surgical or traumatic scars in the body.
The laser precisely removes deep outer layers of damaged skin and stimulates the regeneration of healthy skin underneath. The CO2 treats fine to moderately deep wrinkles, photodamage, scarring, skin tone, texture, crepeiness and laxity.
What are the main indications?
- Acne Scars
- Fine Lines and Wrinkles (Face/neck/Decollatege)
- Stretch marks
- Accidental scars
- Surgical scars
- Burn scars
- Traumatic scars
Is there any downtime associated with a CO2 laser treatment?
Yes, there is a downtime associated with a CO2 laser treatment. The skin will moderately scab and start peeling 3-5 days after treatment. The exact healing time varies from person to person.
How many CO2 treatments will I need?
Most need 6-8 sessions in 6-8 weekly intervals. However, some with deeper wrinkles or very old scarring may need multiple treatments to see results.
How long do results from a CO2 laser last?
Improvements from a CO2 laser treatment can be seen for many years after treatment. Results can be prolonged with diligent use of sunblock, avoiding sun exposure, and correct at-home skincare maintenance.
