REJUVENATION
CO2 Laser Resurfacing in Montreal
CO2 laser skin resurfacing stimulates the production of new collagen in the skin, triggering continuous rejuvenation for several months after the treatment, resulting in firmer and younger-looking skin.
What does CO2 laser resurfacing treatment consist of?
CO2 fractional laser offers incredible non-surgical results in skin rejuvenation. Using advanced laser technology, CO2 fractional laser removes the outermost layers of damaged skin to reveal smoother, softer, and younger-looking skin.
How Does it Boost Collagen?
Fractional CO2 laser treatments deliver microscopic columns of laser energy through the skin to the dermis, where the heat stimulates the growth of new collagen and elastin.
Advanced Technique of CO2 Laser Resurfacing:
Fractional CO2 laser skin resurfacing only affects a fraction of your skin through thousands of tiny channels of microscopic laser heating. The untreated areas form small “bridges” to speed up the healing process. This advanced technique is far superior to traditional CO2 treatments in terms of recovery!
Advantages of CO2 Laser Resurfacing
- Reduction of deep and superficial wrinkles
- This process stimulates the creation of new collagen, thus inducing a gradual rejuvenation of the skin.
- Smoothing of the complexion and skin texture. Fractional CO2 laser treatments can significantly improve skin texture and even out your complexion by addressing uneven skin tone and lightening your skin overall.
- Treats sun-damaged skin. Fractional CO2 laser treatments can also reduce sun damage and the sunspots that often accompany it (also called age spots or brown spots).
- Scars: Skin resurfacing reduces deep acne scars, providing an overall smoother skin texture. By removing the upper layers of skin, lasers can reduce the size of holes or wounds left by these scars.
Intervention
- 45 minutes of application of numbing cream.
- 15-30 minutes of treatment.
- 30 minutes of compresses afterward.
Consultation
CO2 laser treatment is contraindicated for patients with dark skin or those with active dermatological conditions.
After the Surgery
Recovery can take anywhere from 24 hours to 2 weeks depending on the intensity of the treatment. More aggressive treatments are required for more damaged skin. Stronger treatments also yield better results. Your doctor will discuss with you the best approach.
