CO2 Laser Resurfacing, or Carbon Dioxide Laser Therapy, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses focused laser energy to remove damaged skin cells, stimulate collagen production, and promote skin regeneration. This advanced technology allows for precise treatment of specific areas, resulting in smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin. It is highly effective for addressing signs of aging, scars, and uneven skin texture.

PRE-TREATMENT GUIDELINES

  1. Avoid Sun Exposure: Refrain from sun exposure, tanning beds, and self-tanning products for at least two weeks prior to the treatment.

  2. Discontinue Irritating Products: Stop using retinoids, exfoliants, and acids 5-7 days before the treatment to prevent irritation.

  3. Arrive Makeup-Free: Ensure your skin is clean and free from makeup or skincare products on the day of your treatment.

  4. Consultation: Discuss any medical conditions, medications, or concerns with your specialist during your consultation.


POST-TREATMENT AFTERCARE

  1. Apply Sunscreen: Protect your skin by applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher daily, as your skin will be more sensitive to UV exposure.

  2. Moisturize: Keep your skin hydrated with a gentle, non-comedogenic moisturizer to promote healing and soothe any irritation.

  3. Avoid Exfoliation: Refrain from using retinoids, exfoliants, or harsh skincare products for at least one week post-treatment to avoid irritation.

  4. Avoid Heat Exposure: Avoid hot showers, steam rooms, saunas, and vigorous exercise for 48 hours after the treatment to reduce inflammation.

  5. Do Not Pick or Scratch: Allow any scabs or crusts to heal naturally without picking at them to avoid scarring.


WHAT TO AVOID

  • Direct Sun Exposure: Avoid sun exposure for at least two weeks after the procedure, as your skin will be more vulnerable to damage.

  • Exfoliating Products: Avoid using retinoids, acids, or scrubs for at least one week after the procedure to allow the skin to heal properly.

  • Intense Heat & Sweat: Stay away from saunas, steam rooms, and strenuous exercise for 48 hours to minimize swelling and irritation.

  • Photosensitivity: If you are taking medications that increase sensitivity to light, consult your practitioner before proceeding.
