What is CO2 Resurfacing?
CO2 resurfacing is a method of skin rejuvenation that uses concentrated laser energy to trigger the body’s natural processes of healing and renewal, resulting in healthy, glowing skin. This treatment can be used to address the signs of aging on the neck, back, chest, arms, and hands. At H-MD Medical Spa, we use multiple CO2 lasers for our resurfacing treatments.
How Does it Work?
During a CO2 resurfacing treatment, laser energy is aimed at the patient’s desired treatment area. This energy is absorbed by the skin’s inner structures as heat. As the temperature of the tissues and collagen proteins beneath the skin begins to rise, the body’s natural process of healing and renewal begins. Blood and nutrients circulate to the treatment area, collagen fibers begin to multiply, and newer, healthier skin cells start to form.
What can CO2 Resurfacing be used to Treat?
- Loose skin
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne scarring
- Mild scarring
- Uneven skin tone
- Sun damage
What can I Expect from Treatment?
The amount of time that each CO2 resurfacing treatment takes and the length of downtime experienced vary depending on size of the treatment area and the depth of treatment needed to address the patient’s unique treatment goals. While this procedure may be slightly uncomfortable to undergo, measures can be taken before it is administered to increase patient comfort.
Am I a Candidate?
Both men and women interested in improving their skin imperfections and achieving an overall more youthful and rested look are potential candidates for a CO2 resurfacing treatment. However, because other treatments may be better suited to certain patient’s cosmetic goals, a special evaluative consultation appointment must be conducted before beginning the procedure. During this appointment, a member of our medical staff will ask you about your treatment goals, current state of health, and medical history in order to decide if CO2 resurfacing is right for you.
