CO2 LASER TREATMENTS
Using advanced laser technology, a carbon dioxide (CO2) laser for skin resurfacing precisely removes outer layers of damaged skin to reveal the underlying skin which is softer, smoother, and younger looking. Erbium Laser and C02 technologies are the two most commonly used laser skin resurfacing treatment options. The CO2 laser is used in the treatment of deeper facial lines and wrinkles, while the Erbium Laser is used for fine lines, to moderately deep wrinkles to improve the appearance of the wrinkles and reduce the depth of them.
How Does CO2 fraxel Laser Resurfacing Work?
A CO2 laser allows the cosmetic surgeon or dermatologist to perform skin resurfacing procedures that reduce or eliminate more pronounced lines and wrinkles than similar treatments. This is done by removing deeper layers of damaged skin and stimulating the regeneration of healthy skin underneath.
