WHAT TREATMENT IS THIS?

Fotona CO2 Laser Resurfacing is a cutting-edge cosmetic procedure that uses the power of a CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) laser to improve the skin’s appearance by removing damaged outer layers and stimulating collagen production. This treatment addresses a wide range of skin concerns, such as wrinkles, scars, pigmentation, and texture irregularities, while promoting skin rejuvenation. Fotona CO2 laser technology offers precision and controlled energy delivery, making it ideal for resurfacing both superficial and deep skin layers, depending on your skin's needs.

BENEFITS OF FOTONA CO2 LASER RESURFACING

  • Wrinkle Reduction: Smooths fine lines and deeper wrinkles, resulting in younger-looking skin.
  • Scar Revision: Reduces the appearance of acne scars, surgical scars, and other types of scars, leaving a smoother skin texture.
  • Pigmentation Correction: Targets sun spots, age spots, and hyperpigmentation for an even and brighter skin tone.
  • Skin Tightening: Stimulates collagen production, leading to tighter and firmer skin.
  • Improved Skin Texture: Enhances overall skin texture by removing damaged outer layers and promoting skin regeneration.

SUITABLE FOR

Fotona CO2 Laser Resurfacing is ideal for individuals who want to address:

  • Fine lines and deep wrinkles
  • Acne scars, surgical scars, and other types of scars
  • Uneven skin tone, pigmentation, and sun damage
  • Age spots and other signs of aging
  • Sagging skin and laxity
  • Rough or uneven skin texture

TREATMENT PLAN

For best results, treatments are recommended every 3 months. The number of sessions can be customized to individual needs, and maintenance treatments help sustain results over time.

RECOVERY TIME

Recovery from Fotona CO2 Laser Resurfacing can vary depending on the intensity of the treatment. For more aggressive treatments, downtime may last 7-10 days, during which the skin will peel, flake, and heal. Redness and swelling can last a few days, but within two weeks, most clients see the full effects of smoother, more rejuvenated skin.

WHAT'S INCLUDED?

Each session includes:

  • Deep detox cleanse
  • Extractions
  • Custom mask or peel
  • Aftercare application
  • LED therapy

Additional modalities can be added at no extra cost, tailored to address your specific skin concerns.

PRE-TREATMENT GUIDELINES

  1. Avoid Sun Exposure: Stay out of direct sunlight, tanning beds, and avoid self-tanning products for at least two weeks before the treatment.

  2. Discontinue Exfoliating Products: Stop using retinoids, glycolic acids, and other exfoliating products for at least 5-7 days before treatment to avoid skin sensitivity.

  3. Hydrate: Keep your skin well-hydrated in the days leading up to the treatment to improve results and recovery.

  4. Consultation: Discuss any medical conditions, medications, or concerns with your practitioner to ensure you are a good candidate for the procedure.

POST-TREATMENT AFTERCARE

  1. Apply Sunscreen: After the treatment, your skin will be more sensitive to UV rays, so it’s essential to wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30+ daily.

  2. Moisturize: Keep the skin hydrated by applying a gentle, non-comedogenic moisturizer to promote healing and soothe irritation.

  3. Avoid Exfoliants: Refrain from using retinoids, acids, and scrubs for at least two weeks after the procedure to avoid irritating the healing skin.

  4. Avoid Heat: Stay away from hot showers, saunas, and vigorous exercise for at least 48 hours post-treatment to minimize swelling and irritation.

  5. Do Not Pick at Skin: Allow any peeling or scabbing to heal naturally without picking to prevent scarring.

WHAT TO AVOID

  • Direct Sun Exposure: Avoid prolonged sun exposure for at least two weeks post-treatment to prevent hyperpigmentation and protect your skin.

  • Exfoliating Products: Refrain from using retinoids, glycolic acids, or physical exfoliants for at least 2-3 weeks post-treatment to allow the skin to heal.

  • Heat & Sweat: Avoid steam rooms, saunas, and intense exercise for at least 48 hours after treatment to reduce inflammation.

CONTRAINDICATIONS

Fotona CO2 Laser Resurfacing is generally safe, but certain conditions may make it unsuitable for some individuals. Contraindications include:

  • Active Skin Infections: Avoid treatment if you have active infections, cold sores, or open wounds in the treatment area.
  • Photosensitivity: If you are taking medications that cause photosensitivity, such as certain antibiotics, consult your practitioner before treatment.
  • Pregnancy or Breastfeeding: It’s advised to avoid laser resurfacing during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
  • Recent Cosmetic Procedures: Refrain from treatment if you’ve had recent chemical peels, laser treatments, or dermabrasion within the last 4-6 weeks.
  • History of Keloid Scarring: If you have a history of keloid scars, consult your practitioner to discuss the risks.

Summary of Differences

  • Fotona CO2: Offers a more customizable, precise treatment with faster recovery, suitable for various skin types and conditions. Can perform both deep and gentle resurfacing, providing flexibility and less downtime.

  • Traditional CO2: More aggressive, making it highly effective for deeper wrinkles and scars but with longer recovery times and more side effects. Primarily used for severe skin damage and may not be ideal for sensitive or darker skin tones.
