Laser Skin Resurfacing

The CO2 Resurfacing Laser is a highly sophisticated laser that gently and precisely removes the top layer of the sun-damaged and aging skin. New skin cells resurface they are treated and lay down new collagen that is indistinguishable from that newborn undamaged skin. This renewal process is similar in the result of a deep chemical peel, yet without in complications.

What can be treated effectively?

We use the CO2 Resurfacing laser like an artist’s brush, tailoring the skin rejuvenation procedure to your individual needs. Fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes and the mouth are smoothed. Deep laugh and frown creases can be softened. Acne scars and some uneven surgical scars are rendered much less apparent to the eyes.

Even delicate areas on the lips and eyelids can be rejuvenated safely and without bleeding. Depending on the type and depth of the wrinkle or scar, one or more sessions may be scheduled.

Short recovery time

Patients can expect no bruising or bleeding afterwards. Most patients have minimal pain, even after full face treatments. There is a significant amount of post-operative skin care. Patients are instructed in this and sent home with special creams to keep healing area moist and clean. Some swelling may occur for few days, particularly around the eyes.

The surface skin heals after 8-10 days. The new skin appears pink for one to three months but the color is easily camouflaged with cosmetics.
