What Concerns Can CO2 Laser Resurfacing Address?
Hyperpigmentation
Hyperpigmentation, characterized by dark patches on the skin, can result from sun exposure, hormonal changes, or aging. The precision of CO2 laser treatment allows for targeted treatment of these patches, gradually lightening them to match the surrounding skin tone.
Rosacea and Red Discoloration
Red discoloration and rosacea can be challenging to manage. CO2 laser skin rejuvenation can help reduce the redness associated with these conditions, delivering a more even skin tone and reducing inflammation and flare-ups.
Fine Lines and Wrinkles
Fine lines and wrinkles come from a loss of collagen in the dermis which causes the surface of the skin to wrinkle and fold as it loses its elasticity. Over time, the collagen stimulated by the CO2 laser can lessen the appearance of wrinkles, leaving you with firmer, younger-looking skin.
Acne Scarring
CO2 lasers can be an effective way to treat acne scars. When you have inflammatory acne, your body works hard to heal the lesions while producing collagen to restore the tissue that was lost. Sometimes it can produce too little collagen and sometimes too much, leading to scars. CO2 lasers help your body replace damaged tissue with brand-new skin that is more even and smooth in texture.
Large Pores
Large pores can make the skin appear less even. Increased collagen and elastin in your skin will help to support the skin around your pores, making them appear smaller and giving your skin a better appearance.
