CO2 fractional laser skin resurfacing enhances skin health by targeting and removing the top layers of skin tissue, effectively diminishing signs of aging.
What is it?
CO2 fractional laser skin rejuvenation is a cosmetic procedure that employs a powerful light beam to minimize the appearance of age spots, sun-induced freckles, pigmentation spots, fine lines and wrinkles, scarring, and irregular skin complexion. This is achieved by creating controlled microscopic damage in the skin, which promotes collagen synthesis and skin regeneration. This form of laser rejuvenation does not affect or damage the adjacent skin tissues. The CO2 fractional laser utilizes a very brief pulsed blue light or constant blue light rays, delivered in a scanning pattern, to accurately eliminate thin skin layers with minimal harm.
Our dermatology clinic's skilled medical providers perform this treatment in various locations, including Dublin, Columbus, Canal Winchester, Urbana, Circleville, Washington Courthouse, Grove City and Marysville, Ohio,.
What to expect
In the process of CO2 fractional laser skin rejuvenation, you may encounter a slight to moderate level of discomfort, usually managed with topical anesthetic. After the procedure, there may be instances of redness, swelling, and peeling in the treated area lasting from several days to a few weeks, gradually enhancing skin texture, tone and look as collagen production increases throughout the skin's healing process. Achieving optimal results may require multiple sessions.
It is also important to note that this treatment necessitates a recovery period while your skin heals. The provider team from our dermatology clinics will provide you with pre-and post-treatment guidelines to ensure proper recovery and comfort.
