Carbon Dioxide Laser
Procedure
Our CO2 laser for aggressive facial rejuvenation requires more down time than our other lasers, but for those with really deep furrows in the skin, this may be the best option for results and cost. Besides using this wavelength to rejuvenate the face we also have a scanner that allows treatment of the hands or arms in 30 sec. Another adapter uses the energy for feminine rejuvenation.
The CO2 laser utilizes columns of energy that goes deeper into the dermis to stimulate healing by the surrounding normal tissue that remains. The Laser is very precise in its destruction. The amount of tissue injury is limited and allows a very robust response by the completely normal dermis after the treatment, thus limiting post operative complications.
