What is Fractional CO2 Laser?

The fractional CO2 laser is a cutting-edge cosmetic procedure that uses advanced laser technology to improve the skin’s appearance. By creating tiny columns of controlled injury to the skin, the CO2 laser stimulates collagen and elastin production, leading to the reduction of fine lines and the improvement of skin texture and tone. This treatment is highly effective in addressing a range of skin concerns, including acne scars, age spots, sun damage, and more. To determine if this procedure is right for you, consult a licensed professional.

 

Fractional CO2 Laser in Torrance

Fractional CO2 laser resurfacing is a highly effective method that utilizes laser beams to create zones of heat injury in the skin. This approach stimulates the growth of new, healthy skin cells to replace damaged ones. Through this process, the body’s natural healing mechanism is accelerated, resulting in the production of fresh collagen, which smooths wrinkles and improves skin texture. Patients in Torrance and surrounding areas can experience the benefits of this advanced skin resurfacing treatment.

 

How Does the CO2 Laser Work?

The CO2 laser works at the cellular level by vaporizing the damaged outer layers of the skin. This process encourages the body to regenerate fresh, healthy skin. Over time, this technique can significantly reduce the appearance of sun damage, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, scars, and other imperfections, giving patients a more youthful and radiant complexion.

 

Does CO2 Laser Boost Collagen?

Yes, the CO2 laser is highly effective in stimulating collagen production. The controlled micro-injuries created during the procedure prompt the body to produce new collagen, which results in firmer, smoother skin. This is one of the key benefits of the CO2 laser, as collagen helps restore skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

 

Who is a Good Candidate for Fractional CO2 Laser?

A good candidate for fractional CO2 laser treatment is someone who has concerns such as fine lines, sun damage, acne scars, or uneven skin texture. Additionally, candidates should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations for the results. It is important to consult with a licensed dermatologist or cosmetic specialist to determine whether this treatment is appropriate for your skin type and condition.

 

Does CO2 Laser Hurt?

While CO2 laser treatment is generally well-tolerated, patients may experience some discomfort during and after the procedure. A topical anesthetic is often applied before the treatment to minimize pain. After the procedure, patients may experience redness, peeling, and tenderness, similar to a sunburn. These side effects typically subside within a few days, and your provider will offer aftercare instructions to promote healing and reduce discomfort.

 

CO2 Laser Downtime

After undergoing fractional CO2 laser treatment, patients should expect a downtime of about 3-5 days during which the skin will heal and the redness will subside. During this period, it is important to follow your provider’s aftercare instructions, including keeping the skin moisturized and protecting it from sun exposure. Most patients are able to return to social activities once the initial redness and peeling have resolved.

 

How Much Does CO2 Laser Cost?

The cost of CO2 laser treatment in Los Angeles can range from $1,500 to $5,000 per session, depending on the treatment area, the experience of the practitioner, and the extent of the procedure. A complete treatment plan that includes multiple sessions may cost between $3,000 and $10,000.

WHO CANNOT RECEIVE A CO2 Laser TREATMENT? What are the side effects of co2 laser?

Our skilled medical professionals will assess your current health, medical history, and aesthetic goals to determine whether a Fractional CO2 Laser is a good fit for you.

WILL I NEED TIME TO RECOVER from fractional CO2 laser? How long does co2 laser resurfacing take to heal?

After your CO2 Laser treatment, your skin will likely look red, peeling, and scaley, and as a result, feel tender like a sunburn. These side effects may subside within a few hours or linger for a few days, depending on the depth of your procedure and how your body heals.

HOW MANY Fractional CO2 laser TREATMENTS WILL I NEED TO GET?

The number of CO2 laser resurfacing and ablative fractional treatments depends on the skin's condition at the treatment time. Therefore, three to five 30-minute sessions at Skin Works Medical Spa are typically sufficient.

HOW OFTEN CAN I GET A FRActional CO2 laser TREATMENT?

Fractional CO2 Laser treatments should be between 4 to 6 weeks apart based on your skin conditions. This is because the skin in the area that's being treated needs to heal in between sessions. Our medical professionals will help you devise a schedule to get maximum results in the shortest time possible.
