Treatment With CO2 Laser
How Does it Work?
The Fraxis Duo C02 Laser uses a microlaser beam scanner to resurface the epidermis thus regenerating new, healthier, and younger skin.
What’s the Treatment Like?
A topical anesthetic is applied to the entire face or specific target areas. The provider will begin by making several passes on sections of your face or specific target areas with the CO2 fractional laser handpiece. Heat and tingling sensations can be expected as the laser moves across the skin. Depending on the size of the target areas, the procedure may take between 15 to 60 minutes.
What’s the Recovery Time?
This outpatient procedure will entail several days of downtime. Immediately after, treated areas will be red and warm to the touch. Ice packs or a cold compress may be applied for 5 to 10 minutes per hour during the first 5 to 6 hours post-treatment in order to ease discomfort. A thick topical gel may be prescribed to protect and speed up the healing process, and you may be advised to avoid showering for the first few days. The skin will take up to 14 days to shed and heal completely. However, for around 4 to 6 weeks after the treatment, the treated areas will remain pinkish and slightly blotchy. While your skin will already start to show noticeable improvements after the initial recovery, the final results will be revealed in about 3 to 6 months.
What are the Benefits?
The benefits of a CO2 laser allows the treatment of all skin types and provides opportunities for both deep and superficial treatments for wrinkles, acne scars, and other scars. Photodamage is erased.
