What is Co2 Laser?

• Treatment aims to improve the appearance of the skin by removing the top layer and stimulating the formation of new skin cells.
• CO2 — carbon dioxide — laser resurfacing uses targeted beams of light to remove the superficial layer of your skin.
• CO2 lasers are part of a laser resurfacing process. The laser emits energy of a wavelength of 10,600 nanometers. Water within the skin cells absorbs this type of wavelength, resulting in the ablation of the superficial layer of the skin.
• This treatment produces a type of heat injury. This stimulates the skin underneath, resulting in the formation of collagen.
• Collagen is a protein in the body that provides a tightly organized fiber network and contributes to the skin’s elasticity.
• When the skin starts healing after laser treatment, new skin start to form that may be smoother, tighter, or more elastic.
  
  

This type of laser treatment can:

• Remove skin scar
• Addresses sign of ageing i.e deep scar, wrinkles, fine lines, age spots, etc.
• Treat areas of skin discoloration like sunspots and age spots

What are the benefits?

• Not only can it reduce the appearance of wrinkles right away, it also encourages collagen production, which can improve the health of your skin over time.
• CO2 laser resurfacing can treat numerous cosmetic and medical skin issues, from visible signs of aging and sun damage to scars and skin cancer.
• CO2 laser resurfacing can significantly reduce the appearance of all of the above.
• Loose skin above the upper and lower eyelids can cause what’s commonly known as “baggy” or “hooded eyes.”

What’s the Recovery?
It typically takes 1-2 weeks to recover from CO2 laser resurfacing. Following your dermatologist or surgeon’s aftercare instructions will help with healing and lower your risk of complications.
