Overview

CO2 laser resurfacing, also known as laser peel, is a cosmetic procedure that uses a carbon dioxide (CO2) laser to remove layers of damaged or wrinkled skin. It is primarily used to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, facial scars, and uneven pigmentation, providing a smoother and more youthful appearance.

Description

CO2 laser resurfacing works by delivering a concentrated beam of laser energy that vaporizes superficial layers of skin, layer by layer. This process stimulates the production of new collagen fibers, resulting in smoother, firmer skin over time.

Consultation

Before undergoing CO2 laser resurfacing, a consultation with a qualified cosmetic surgeon is essential to assess your skin condition, discuss treatment objectives, and determine if you are a suitable candidate. Factors such as skin type, medical history, and expectations will be evaluated.

Procedure

    During the procedure, the CO2 laser is precisely targeted to the areas of concern, such as fine lines around the mouth, eyes, or acne scars. Local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia may be used depending on the extent of treatment. The duration varies but typically lasts between one to two hours.

After Surgery

    After CO2 laser resurfacing, patients may experience mild swelling, discomfort, and redness, which can be managed with prescribed medications and cold compresses. Healing typically involves keeping the treated areas moisturized and protected from sun exposure.

Results

  • Results from CO2 laser resurfacing are gradual and continue to improve over several months as new collagen forms. Patients usually notice smoother skin texture, reduced wrinkles, and improved overall skin tone. The longevity of results depends on post-procedure care and sun protection.
  • CO2 laser resurfacing is an effective option for individuals seeking to address facial imperfections without undergoing invasive surgery. It is important to follow your cosmetic surgeon's post-operative instructions carefully to optimize healing and maintain results.

Complications

    Complications from CO2 laser resurfacing are rare but can include burns, scarring, changes in skin pigmentation (either lighter or darker), prolonged redness, or activation of herpes virus infections. These risks are minimized when the procedure is performed by an experienced cosmetic surgeon.
Disclaimer: Results may vary from person to person. It's important to discuss any specific concerns or questions with your cosmetic surgeon during your consultation.
