How does the face look after CO2 laser treatment?
Similar to the previous question, the face experiences an initial phase of redness and swelling, followed by peeling. In the long term, and after complete regeneration and production of new collagen, the face looks rejuvenated, with a noticeable reduction in wrinkles, scars, blemishes and an overall improvement in skin texture and firmness. The goal is a fresher, healthier and revitalized appearance.
How many fractional CO2 laser sessions are needed?
The number sessions needed varies according to the condition of the skin to be treated, the severity of the problem and the patient’s goals. For general rejuvenation or mild problems, 1 or 2 sessions may be sufficient. For deep scars, pronounced wrinkles or severe sun damage, 2 to 4 sessions, spaced 4 to 8 weeks apart, may be recommended. Your Face Clinic specialist will advise you on the most appropriate plan.
How long does the effect of the fractional CO2 laser last?
The effect is long lasting and can last for several years. The stimulation of new collagen provides long-term structural improvement. However, the natural aging process continues. Maintaining a good skin care routine, especially sun protection, and a healthy lifestyle will help prolong the results.
What are the consequences of fractional CO2 laser?
Immediate and expected consequences include redness, swelling, warmth and subsequent peeling. Possible side effects or risks (although less common if performed by experts) include infection, pigmentary changes (hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation), or scarring (very rare). It is crucial to follow the post-treatment indications to minimize risks.
How effective is fractional CO2 laser?
Is highly effective for a wide range of skin problems. It offers significant results in wrinkle reduction, scar improvement (acne, surgical), blemish treatment, overall skin rejuvenation, and improved texture and tone. It is one of the most powerful resurfacing treatments available.
How much does CO2 laser treatment for warts cost?
The cost to treat warts with CO2 laser will depend on the number, size and location of the warts. It is usually a more localized procedure and therefore the price per session may be less than a full facial resurfacing. A consultation is required to determine the exact cost.
What does the fractional CO2 laser cure?
Fractional CO2 Laser does not “cure” in the sense of permanently eliminating aging, but it does effectively improve and correct: fine and deep wrinkles, scars of various types (acne, surgical), sun and age spots, uneven skin texture, enlarged pores, and some skin sagging by stimulating collagen production.
