What Is CO2 Laser Resurfacing?
CO2 Laser resurfacing is a facial rejuvenation service that uses a CO2 laser to treat fine lines/wrinkles, sun damage, superficial skin irregularities, stimulate collagen and improve the appearance of the skin. Regarded as a good workhorse laser for the skin because it can help treat many different conditions, the CO2 laser is safe, reliable, and effective. Where it can do its best is helping to treat fine lines and wrinkles that develop in the skin.
What to Expect
At Facial Plastic Surgery of Central Texas, Dr. Guy and his team use a fractional, ablative CO2 laser that works by punching tiny holes in the skin and heating the dermal layers. The heat stimulates collagen formation, which can tighten the skin and help with the overall feel of the skin.
By punching holes in the skin, the laser procedure can lighten sunspots, but also helps quicken healing and minimize scarring by leaving some skin intact. Being an ablative laser, this requires more than a topical anesthetic but usually requires only one treatment and has long-lasting effects.
