Numerous skin issues, including acne scars, wrinkles, age spots, and skin growths, can be treated with CO2 laser. CO2 laser can be used for full face skin rejuvenation. Speak with a board-certified dermatologist to determine if you are a good candidate for this treatment.The top layer of skin is the area this treatment targets, helping collagen production to be stimulated and the skin to renew and heal itself. Our office uses a modern CO2 laser technology to give patients results that are safe and effective. With the use of this technology, we can target specific areas of the skin and have minimal down-time. CO2 laser can be used for full face or specific areas for skin rejuvenation. Patients may have slight discomfort, redness, and swelling after the procedure, but these side effects will go away within a few days to a week. Throughout the healing process, the treated region must be protected from the sun.
Patient satisfaction and safety is our primary goal at our office.
