What is a CO2 Laser Resurfacing?

Fractional CO2 Laser Resurfacing utilizes a matrix of laser light to create micro-injuries on the skin, targeting only specific areas in a pinpoint fashion. This innovative approach results in faster recovery times and a lower risk of complications than full-surface treatments, as the healthy surrounding tissue promotes rapid healing. The intense power of CO2 lasers enables them to vaporize damaged outer skin while delivering heat to deeper tissues, enhancing collagen production for skin remodeling. Consequently, it leads to firmer, more youthful-looking skin as it replaces the older, damaged layers with new, healthier ones.

How Does a CO2 Laser Resurfacing Work?

The Matrix Fractional CO2 laser is an advanced procedure that uses microbeams to puncture the skin and stimulate rapid collagen renewal, resulting in remarkable rejuvenation results. This technique avoids the severe downtime associated with traditional CO2 lasers, providing a firmer, smoother complexion with reduced recovery time. The laser channels created during the procedure boost the body’s healing process, tighten the skin’s matrix, and reduce pigmentation, enhancing overall skin resilience and texture. This laser resurfacing method is tailored to revitalize the skin while preserving its surface, ensuring a swift recovery and long-lasting benefits.

Benefits of a CO2 Laser Resurfacing

CO2 Laser Resurfacing is one of the most potent lasers available, offering remarkable benefits for those looking to rejuvenate their skin. It targets and mitigates visible aging signs through a variety of enhancements:

  • Refines the skin’s texture and overall complexion for a smoother, more even tone.
  • Significantly diminishes fine lines and creases through enhanced collagen production.
  • Alleviates the visibility of acne scarring for clearer, more resilient skin.
  • Minimizes the prominence of stretch marks, leaving the skin more uniform.
  • Eradicates skin damage induced by the sun and corrects pigmentation issues.
  • Offers skin-tightening effects when employed for deep skin treatments.
  • Shrinks the appearance of enlarged pores for a polished skin surface.
  • Evens out skin colors, effectively reducing uneven pigmentation and discoloration.

Choosing CO2 laser resurfacing is an excellent measure for those seeking to restore their skin’s youthful vigor and flawless appearance.

How Can CO2 Laser Resurfacing Help Me?

We create a customized treatment for you with the Matrix Fractional CO2 technology. By working in a grid pattern, the scanner delivers small pulses of light to your skin, reaching your dermal layer. This encourages your body to naturally remove collagen.

This Laser Treatment has Been Shown to Correct Many Skin Concerns Including:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Acne scars
  • Sun damage
  • Pigmented lesions
  • Skin texture irregularities
  • Overall tissue slackening

What Can I Expect Right After Treatment?

  • A full laser resurfacing treatment takes about 1 to 2 hours, while a partial treatment only takes 30 to 45 minutes.
  • After treatment, depending on your skin type, you may need to wash your face two to five times a day, followed by an ointment to prevent scabs and shorten healing time.
  • You will most likely experience redness after treatment. This tends to persist longer with blondes and redheads.
  • We strongly encourage you to avoid sun exposure for about four weeks and liberally apply sunscreen before you leave the house.

Before, During, and After

What to Expect Before a CO2 Laser Resurfacing

Before CO2 Laser Resurfacing, you will receive a consultation with a laser expert at The Center for Aesthetics and Plastic Surgery. Our Certified Advanced Aestheticians will thoroughly evaluate and assess your skin’s specific issues, discuss your beauty goals, and chart a tailored treatment plan to achieve your desired results.

What to Expect During a CO2 Laser Resurfacing

Before treatment, a numbing cream will be applied to your skin to ensure comfort. The powerful CO2 laser will then precisely target your skin. Unlike less intense lasers, this laser requires a single sweep per session. After the procedure, we will apply a healing ointment to support recovery. You will also receive soothing cleansers and moisturizers for optimal aftercare.

What to Expect After a CO2 Laser Resurfacing

Expect the CO2 laser resurfacing process to take between one to two hours and for partial sessions to last roughly 30 to 45 minutes. Post-procedure, your skin type will determine if you need to cleanse your face 2-5 times daily with ointment to help avoid scab formation and expedite recovery. You’ll likely notice some redness, which can linger, especially those with light-colored hair or skin. Stay out of the sun for at least four weeks and diligently use sunscreen outdoors.
