What is CO2 Laser Treatment?
CO2 laser treatment, also known as fractional CO2 laser skin resurfacing, is a cosmetic treatment that can effectively address an array of skin concerns, including wrinkles, fine lines, scars, sun damage, and more. This treatment also stimulates collagen and elastin production, which increases skin elasticity and firmness.
Dr. Torgerson uses a CO2 laser to deliver a highly concentrated beam of light that removes damaged outer layers of skin while heating the underlying tissue. This creates microscopic channels in the skin, which stimulates the body's natural healing process, resulting in new, healthy skin cells.
CO2 Laser on Scars
Scars can be an unwelcome reminder of previous injuries, surgeries, or medical conditions. Scars can be unsightly, but they can also cause physical discomfort, pain, or even hinder movement in some cases.
Fortunately, CO2 laser treatment can help reduce the appearance of scars. This treatment targets scar tissue and promotes collagen production in the affected area, which can lead to the gradual fading of scars.
The CO2 laser treatment can also help treat acne scars. Acne scars are a result of inflamed or infected pores that have healed, leaving behind pits or raised bumps on the skin's surface. CO2 laser treatment can smooth these scars' appearance by stimulating collagen and elastin production, which can help smooth the skin's texture and tone.
What to Expect During Your CO2 Laser Treatment
Before the treatment, Dr. Torgerson will conduct a thorough consultation to ensure that CO2 laser treatment is suitable for your unique skin concerns. This consultation will assess your skin type, medical history, and discuss the desired outcomes.
During the treatment, Dr. Torgerson will apply a topical anesthetic to the treatment area, making the procedure comfortable and pain-free. The procedure itself typically takes around 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the treatment area.
After the treatment, you can expect to experience mild redness, swelling, and peeling. The downtime will vary depending on the treatment's intensity and location, but typically lasts around 5 to 10 days.
Results from CO2 Laser Treatment
Patients often notice the results of CO2 laser treatment immediately after their first session, but the full results' timeline varies depending on the patient's unique skin concerns and their skin's ability to heal.
Over the following weeks and months, the body's natural healing process will stimulate collagen and elastin production, leading to continued improvements in the skin's health, texture and tone.
Patients typically see the best results four to six months after their last treatment session. With proper skincare, these results can be maintained for many years, making this treatment an excellent anti-aging solution for those who want to look as good as they feel.
