CO2 Laser

C02 Laser

INTRODUCING CO2 LASER RESURFACING

The CO2 laser system directs concentrated columns of powerful heat energy into the skin, swiftly heating the water within skin cells. This targeted approach results in controlled damage to the surrounding tissue with the aim of kickstarting new collagen production for a smoother and firmer skin texture in the treated area. Within 3 to 7 days, the skin naturally sheds to reveal fresh, rejuvenated layers with enhanced color and collagen levels. In just a few weeks, you can expect complete healing with visibly tighter and smoother skin.

CO2 LASERS FOR WRINKLES & SUN DAMAGE

The potent CO2 laser effectively targets both cosmetic and medical concerns, including sun damage and wrinkles. This laser treatment can address actinic damage, pigmentation issues, and the development of squamous cell carcinomas. By vaporizing damaged skin, the CO2 laser removes sun damage and wrinkles, promoting collagen production for a rejuvenated, tighter skin appearance while minimizing deeper wrinkles.

CO2 LASER COMBINATION TREATMENTS

CO2 lasers complement various cosmetic and medical procedures, enhancing outcomes for fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, and skin laxity. Tania Cohen DMSc often incorporates CO2 laser therapy in complex treatments for conditions like acne scarring or as a supportive measure in surgeries such as facelifts and neck-lifts.

Tania’s expertise allows her to skillfully navigate the delicate eye area with the CO2 laser, ensuring precise and safe results for a refreshed and youthful appearance.

PREPARING FOR YOUR CO2 LASER PROCEDURE

Prior to your CO2 laser treatment, it’s essential to prepare by having a few supplies ready. Ensure you have antibacterial soap on hand for effective handwashing to prevent germs from entering the healing skin. Tania Cohen DMSc may also suggest pre-treating the skin with a peel to optimize skin cell preparation and enhance the depth of penetration during the fractional CO2 skin resurfacing laser treatment. Using peels before and after energy-based laser and radiofrequency procedures can reduce the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), particularly for individuals with darker skin tones.

RECOVERY, DOWNTIME & AFTERCARE

Tania Cohen DMSc’s typical recovery plan following CO2 laser procedures includes:

– Valtrex twice daily for 7 days to prevent HSV outbreaks

– Antibiotic twice daily for 7 days to prevent infection

– Pain relief medication every 6 hours as needed for 2-3 days

For eyelid treatments, refrain from wearing contacts on the day of the procedure and arrange for transportation home. As the skin undergoes deep exfoliation and new skin growth begins in the deeper layers, the initial two weeks are crucial for consistent healing. Expect redness and weeping during this period.

To support the healing process, Tania Cohen DMSc will provide customized exfoliating serums for nourishing the new skin growth. Barrier protection creams, hyaluronic acid, and products containing growth factors and stem cells can aid in optimal healing. At-home cooling masks and red light therapy can help reduce weeping and redness post-procedure.
