CO2 laser treatment is a skin resurfacing procedure that uses a carbon dioxide laser to remove the outer layers of damaged skin, promoting collagen production and revealing smoother, rejuvenated skin beneath. It's effective for reducing wrinkles, scars, and skin imperfections, resulting in a more youthful appearance.
CO2 laser treatment is suitable for individuals seeking to address a variety of skin concerns, including:
Fine lines and wrinkles
Sun damage and age spots
Uneven skin tone and texture
Acne scars and other facial scars
Skin laxity and sagging
Hyperpigmentation and melasma
Ideal candidates for CO2 laser treatment should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the results. During your consultation at our Manhattan office, our experienced practitioners will assess your skin condition and discuss whether CO2 laser treatment is the right option for you.
While CO2 laser treatment is generally safe for most individuals, certain conditions may preclude you from undergoing the procedure. You may not be a suitable candidate if you:
Are pregnant or breastfeeding
Have active skin infections or conditions, such as eczema or psoriasis
Have a history of keloid scarring
Are currently taking isotretinoin (Accutane) or other medications that increase photosensitivity
If you have any concerns or medical conditions, our team will work with you to determine the best course of action for your skincare needs.
CO2 laser treatment with the Lumenis UltraPulse laser is a precise and customizable procedure performed in our Manhattan office. Before the treatment begins, your skin will be cleansed thoroughly, and a topical numbing cream may be applied to minimize discomfort. The UltraPulse laser handpiece will then be carefully maneuvered over the treatment area, delivering controlled pulses of laser energy to target specific skin concerns.
During the treatment, you may feel a warm sensation and mild discomfort, similar to a slight sunburn. The duration of the procedure depends on the size and number of areas being treated, but most sessions last between 30 minutes to an hour. Our practitioners will ensure your comfort throughout the treatment process.
Following CO2 laser treatment, you can expect some downtime for the skin to heal and regenerate. Immediately after the procedure, your skin may appear red and swollen, similar to a sunburn. Over the next few days, you may experience peeling, crusting, and mild discomfort as the skin undergoes the healing process. It's essential to follow post-treatment instructions provided by our team, including keeping the treated area clean, moisturized, and protected from sun exposure.
The full recovery time can vary depending on the depth and intensity of the treatment, but most patients can expect to see noticeable improvements in skin texture and tone within a week. However, it may take several weeks for the skin to fully heal and reveal the final results. Our team will monitor your progress closely and provide guidance and support throughout the recovery process.
