What are CO2 lasers?
CO2 laser treatment works by removing the outer layer of skin, stimulating the regeneration of new skin cells for a smoother, rejuvenated appearance. This advanced procedure is commonly used by dermatologists, plastic surgeons, and other medical professionals for effective skin resurfacing.
Individuals often seek CO2 laser treatment to address a variety of skin concerns, including acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, and signs of skin aging.
What do CO2 lasers do?
- CO2 lasers are a key part of the laser resurfacing process, delivering energy at a wavelength of 10,600 nanometers. This specific wavelength is absorbed by water in the skin cells, leading to the ablative removal of the superficial skin layer, promoting smoother, healthier skin.
- CO2 laser treatment stimulates the contraction and remodeling of skin collagen, a vital protein responsible for providing structural support and elasticity to the skin.
- Following CO2 laser treatment, the skin begins the healing process, stimulating the growth of new skin that is smoother, tighter, and more elastic. This regeneration helps restore a youthful appearance by improving skin texture and firmness.
