In this article, we will talk about what CO2 skin resurfacing is, the benefits it offers, and what you can expect during and after the procedure.
What Is CO2 Skin Resurfacing?
CO2 Skin Resurfacing smooths skin texture and reveals the fresh skin you have beneath the dead and dirty top layers of skin. We don’t want to think of our skin that way, but the top layer of our skin takes a beating from the sun, wind, makeup, and other environmental factors.
The Helix Customizable CO2 laser removes those dead, damaged layers and stimulates collagen production. This is an important feature because we actually begin to lose collagen in our 20s! Collagen is necessary to combat wrinkles and fine lines.
What Are The Benefits Of Skin Resurfacing?
- Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
- Reduces the appearance of acne scars
- Helps with skin discoloration caused by sun damage or age
- Stimulates collagen production
- Minimally invasive, yet highly effective
What Can You Expect During A CO2 Skin Resurfacing Procedure?
You will receive a local anesthetic and sedative to prepare you for the procedure to minimize pain. You will be given protective eyewear due to the use of the laser. The area of concern will then be treated by the laser. The length of time varies based on the skin issue being addressed and how big of an area is being treated. You may receive an ice pack, followed by the application of an ointment on the treated area.
What Can You Expect After the Procedure?
You may need to keep the treated area covered for approximately 24 hours. You may need to clean the treated area a few times a day. You will also need to wear sunscreen. According to www.plasticsurgery.org, “You will have some redness and swelling. You may also experience itching or stinging for a few days after the procedure. Depending on the treatment, some people may have what looks like a severe sunburn. The skin will be raw, oozing and may even blister. A yellow liquid may ooze from treated areas to form a crust. Do not scratch or pick at crusts because this can cause scarring.Usually, about five days to a week after laser skin resurfacing, your skin will become dry and peel.”
