This technique helps patients achieve a younger appearance by removing fine lines and wrinkles and smoothing blemishes left by acne and other scars. The treatment can also even out skin tone and reduce blotchiness. The method involves the use of light beams that are scattered or pulsed to minimize heat damage while effectively removing blemishes and wrinkles one layer of skin at a time. With minimized heat damage, the lower layers of skin can regenerate more effectively and produce a younger appearance. CO2 lasers allow practitioners to go deeper than other methods and thereby remove more pronounced wrinkles and creases.
Depending on a patient’s need, CO2 laser skin resurfacing can treat specific spots or the entire face. Need for anesthesia and the length of recovering time vary according to the amount of skin treated.
