CO2 laser skin Resurfacing Treatment

CO2 laser resurfacing is a non-surgical procedure that uses a laser beam to remove the top layer of skin, revealing smoother, younger-looking skin beneath.

It’s often used to treat:

• Fine lines and wrinkles: Reduces the appearance of facial wrinkles.
• Acne scars: Improves the look of acne scars.
• Sun damage: Treats age spots and sunspots.
• Warts and moles: Remove benign skin growths.

How it works:

• Laser application: A dermatologist uses a CO2 laser to vaporise the top layer of skin, creating microscopic wounds. 
• Healing process: The body’s natural healing process stimulates the production of new collagen, resulting in firmer, smoother skin. 

Recovery:

• Typically involves several days of redness and swelling.
• May require avoiding direct sunlight and strenuous activity during healing.

Benefits:

• Significant improvement in skin texture and appearance.
• Long-lasting results.
• Minimal downtime compared to surgical procedures.

Considerations:

• Potential side effects include infection, scarring, and changes in skin color.
• May require multiple sessions for optimal results.
• Cost can vary depending on the extent of treatment.
