Co2 Laser Resurfacing

What Should I Expect after Co2 Laser Resurfacing?

After your Co2 Fractional Laser treatment, expect to see some redness, scabbing, and peeling for about two weeks. The treatment can be personalized to minimize redness. Deeper treatments will require more healing time, and shallower treatments will require less but may also be less effective. With shallower treatments, two sessions are sometimes necessary to see optimal results. As your skin heals, you will begin to see impressive results. Dark spots fade, the skin tightens, scars are less noticeable and a more youthful appearance is realized. It may take several months to see complete results. Following our skincare guidelines will enhance your treatment results and can also speed healing.

What Does a Co2 Laser Resurfacing Treatment Consist of?

Co2 Fractional Laser treatments in Scottsdale are revolutionary, but they do require downtime. To increase the effectiveness of your treatment while also minimizing discomfort, reduce or eliminate sun exposure two weeks before your treatment. Tanning is not advised during this time. Eat and hydrate as normal the day of your appointment, and avoid consuming any alcohol for 24 hours before your procedure. Come to our office with a clean face. If you wear contact lenses, bring your case, as you will be asked to remove them for your treatment. The treatment takes between an hour to an hour and a half. After your procedure, your medical aestheticians will discuss your post-care instructions. We will follow up with you a few days after your appointment to check on healing. If you have questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to call us.
