In the world of skin rejuvenation, CO2 laser resurfacing stands out as one of the most transformative treatments available.
Ideal for treating deep wrinkles, acne scars, and significant skin texture concerns, CO2 laser resurfacing works by precisely removing damaged layers of skin while stimulating collagen production.
This rejuvenates and tightens the skin, revealing a smoother, firmer, and more youthful appearance. At ARCmd in Weston, CO2 laser resurfacing is an effective solution to achieve long-lasting skin refinement.
CO2 laser resurfacing is a powerful, non-surgical treatment that uses a fractional CO2 laser to target and vaporize damaged skin layers. This advanced technology works by creating micro-injuries in the skin, which trigger the body’s natural healing process and stimulate new collagen growth. CO2 laser resurfacing is particularly effective for deeper skin concerns, providing remarkable results that continue to improve over time.
The CO2 laser resurfacing procedure begins with a topical anesthetic to enhance patient comfort. Once the skin is prepared, a highly trained specialist applies the CO2 laser to the treatment areas, using fractional laser pulses to precisely target damaged layers.
Each pulse vaporizes a thin layer of skin, initiating a healing response that stimulates collagen and elastin. The procedure typically takes 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the size and scope of the treatment area.
After CO2 laser resurfacing, a brief recovery period is necessary. Here’s what to expect:
Ideal candidates for CO2 laser resurfacing are individuals with deep wrinkles, prominent sun damage, or visible scars who are looking for a non-surgical solution.
