Fractional CO2 Resurfacing FAQ
How long does a CO2 laser resurfacing treatment take?
The procedure typically takes 30-90 minutes, depending on the areas being treated. We’ll provide a more precise estimate during your consultation based on your specific needs.
What's the recovery time after CO2 laser resurfacing?
Recovery time varies, but most patients need 5-7 days of downtime. Your skin will be red and may peel for 1-2 weeks. Full healing usually occurs within 2-3 weeks, with continued improvement over several months.
Is CO2 laser resurfacing painful?
We use topical anesthetics and sometimes light sedation to ensure your comfort during the procedure. Most patients describe feeling warmth and a slight stinging sensation. After treatment, you may experience a sunburn-like feeling for a few days.
How many treatments will I need?
Many patients see significant improvement with just one treatment. However, depending on the severity of your skin concerns, we might recommend a series of less intensive treatments. We’ll create a personalized plan during your consultation.
How long do the results of CO2 laser resurfacing last?
Results can last for several years, especially if you maintain good skincare habits and sun protection. While the treatment can’t stop the natural aging process, many patients enjoy their results for 5-10 years before considering a touch-up.
Can CO2 laser resurfacing be combined with other treatments?
Yes, the CO2 laser can be combined with other treatments for enhanced results. It’s often paired with injectables or other non-invasive procedures. We can discuss combination options based on your specific goals during your consultation.
Is fractional CO2 resurfacing safe for all skin types?
CO2 laser works best on lighter skin tones. For darker skin types, we might recommend alternative treatments to avoid potential pigmentation issues. We’ll assess your skin type during your consultation to determine the best approach.
How soon can I wear makeup after CO2 laser resurfacing?
You’ll need to keep your skin clean and product-free for about a week after treatment. Once new skin has formed, usually around 7-10 days post-treatment, you can start applying makeup. We’ll provide specific guidelines based on your healing progress.
Will I need someone to drive me home after the procedure?
If you opt for light sedation, you’ll need someone to drive you home. If we use only topical anesthesia, you should be fine to drive yourself. We’ll discuss this with you when planning your treatment.
Are there any long-term risks with CO2 laser resurfacing?
When performed by experienced professionals like our team, long-term risks are minimal. The most common long-term effect is a lightening of the treated skin. In rare cases, scarring or infection can occur. We’ll discuss all potential risks during your consultation.
How soon will I see results from CO2 laser resurfacing?
You’ll notice improvements in skin texture and tone once your skin heals, typically within 2-3 weeks. However, the full results, including collagen remodeling, continue to develop over 3-6 months post-treatment.
