Cutting-edge Skin Rejuvenation

CO2 laser resurfacing is a cutting-edge skin rejuvenation treatment that uses fractional CO2 laser technology to remove the outer layers of damaged skin. This process stimulates the body’s natural healing response, promoting collagen production and revealing fresh, healthy skin. The treatment is ideal for reducing wrinkles, sun damage, acne scars, and other skin imperfections, offering noticeable and lasting results for a smoother, firmer, and more youthful appearance.

A Gentle Treatment

During your CO2 laser treatment, a topical anesthetic will be applied to minimize discomfort. Dr. Singh will use a specialized CO2 laser device to gently target and treat the skin’s surface, precisely removing damaged layers. The treatment typically lasts between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the areas being addressed. Most patients experience a warm, tingling sensation during the procedure, but discomfort is usually minimal. Post-treatment, Dr. Singh will provide detailed aftercare instructions to promote optimal healing, emphasizing the importance of protecting your skin as it regenerates.

The CO2 laser resurfacing treatment can handle the following concerns:

  • Fine Lines and Wrinkles: CO2 laser resurfacing smooths fine lines and wrinkles by removing damaged skin and stimulating collagen production, restoring a youthful, refreshed appearance.
  • Sun Damage and Age Spots: This treatment reduces dark spots, uneven pigmentation, and rough texture by targeting sun-damaged layers, revealing a clearer, more even complexion.
  • Acne and Surgical Scars: CO2 laser resurfacing minimizes acne and surgical scars by promoting healthy tissue growth, improving skin texture, and smoothing out indentations.
  • Uneven Skin Tone and Texture: The laser refines skin tone and texture, addressing rough patches and bumps, revealing softer, more radiant skin.
  • Enlarged Pores: By exfoliating and tightening the skin, the laser reduces pore size, contributing to a smoother and more refined appearance.
  • Skin Laxity: CO2 laser resurfacing tightens the skin by stimulating deep collagen production, improving elasticity and firmness, and delivering a more lifted look.

How Does CO2 Laser Resurfacing Work?

The CO2 laser emits short pulses of high-energy light that vaporize the outer layers of skin, precisely targeting damaged areas. The laser also heats the underlying skin, which triggers new collagen formation, helping to tighten and improve overall skin texture and appearance.

How Long Does the Procedure Take?

The length of the procedure can vary depending on the treatment area, but it typically takes about 30 minutes to 2 hours. A consultation will help determine the specific treatment time for your needs.

Is CO2 Laser Resurfacing Painful?

Most patients experience discomfort during the procedure, often described as a stinging or burning sensation. For your comfort, a topical anesthetic or local anesthetic may be applied before treatment. Post-procedure, patients may feel like they have a mild sunburn.

What Is the Recovery Time for CO2 Laser Resurfacing?

Recovery time varies depending on the depth of the treatment. Generally, initial healing takes about 7 to 14 days, which may include peeling as the treated tissues fall away from the surface of your face. Redness and minor swelling are common and can persist for a few weeks, gradually improving. Most patients can resume normal activities within one to two weeks.

How Should I Care for My Skin After Treatment?

Post-treatment care is crucial for optimal results. Keep the treated area clean, moisturized, and protected from the sun. Follow your provider’s instructions on gentle skincare and avoid harsh products during recovery. Dr. Singh emphasizes the importance of aftercare and is available to support you through your healing process.
