CO2 Laser Treatment

CO2 Laser Application & Benefits

CO2 laser has been the gold standard for facial/skin regeneration since the 1990’s. It is the only modality to effectively cause significant changes in skin texture, elimination of scars & wrinkles & to rejuvenate the collagen matrix & bring about revascularization of aging skin. It softens aged skin & tightens loose elastin fibrils. It can be used for “sun-worshippers” that are now paying for the “sins of their youth” In short- it can be used to tighten “creepy loose skin" and create lasting effects.

Problems arose when practitioners, not well-versed in laser wavelengths or non-surgical trained users, caused significant damage to their patients. Since then, Erbium & other less powerful lasers emerged on the market. These also had significantly less down time for the patients. Yet they did not cause the “drastic changes" many came to admire with the CO2 laser.
