Wrinkles reduced up to 70%? Try CO2 Fusion

CO2 laser fusion is a great way to give you clear skin with a reduced appearance of deep wrinkles and sun damage. The great thing is – we know it works.

Before you book in for a personalised treatment with Dr. Scott Allison, here are a few essential details to help you make an informed decision.

What is CO2 laser?

CO2 is an ablative laser treatment.

Ablative laser treatments use CO2 to renew the dermal and epidermal layer of your skin. The lasers heat up the water molecules in the lower layers of the skin, creating a healing response in your body. Little pulses of light are used to rejuvenate your skin to give it a natural looking glow.

CO2 laser is a procedure that targets dark acne and sunspots. It breaks down the pigmentation in the skin to make it clearer. However, CO2 helps renew the epidermal layer (topmost layer) of the skin to improve the appearance of pores and fine lines.

Together, they work like magic to provide a unique solution to reduce the signs of ageing skin.

Pearl Fractional is a procedure that targets dark acne and sun spots. It breaks down the pigmentation in the skin to make it clearer. However, Pearl Skin Resurfacing helps renew the epidermal layer (top most layer) of the skin to improve the appearance of pores and fine lines.

Together, they work like magic to provide a unique solution to reduce the signs of ageing skin.

What does the treatment involve?

CO2 laser fusion treatment takes about 30 to 60 minutes in total. When you come in for a consultation, we work with your skin concerns to suggest the right laser treatment for your skin type.

During the procedure, we clean and apply a topical anesthetic to help with the minor discomfort that comes with the CO2 laser treatment. Your skin may feel a bit sore and appear red, which should settle within 7-10 days. You’ll be able to see a significant improvement in your skin in a few weeks as the laser energy works to rejuvenate your skin.

How Does Your Body React to Laser Treatments?

The carbon dioxide laser targets skin issues like lentigines and wrinkles. Lentigines, also known as liver spots, appear on your skin due to prolonged sun exposure. Both ablative laser and non-ablative laser treatments are common methods in laser resurfacing practices.

Ablative vs. Non-Ablative Treatments – What Should I Choose?

Wondering which is best for you? Ablative laser treatments remove the top layers of the skin and are more invasive compared to non-ablative options. Ablative CO2 laser treatments address fine lines, wrinkles, scars, pigmentation, and uneven skin tone, offering deeper rejuvenation for certain skin conditions.

Non-ablative treatments, on the other hand, work by heating the underlying skin tissue without removing the top layer. This process stimulates collagen production and is effective for those seeking results with minimal downtime. The best option for you will depend on your skin type, your specific skin concerns, and your preference for downtime.

Benefits of CO2 Laser Resurfacing

CO2 laser resurfacing has the potential to reduce the appearance of wrinkles by up to 70%. The biggest advantage of CO2 laser skin resurfacing is the quick recovery time, allowing you to see significant changes in a short period.

Here are some other benefits of CO2 laser skin resurfacing:

• Improves the appearance of wrinkles and reduces pigmentation in the treatment area.
• Promotes a clearer, more youthful complexion by encouraging collagen and elastin formation.
• Creates a smoother, more refined skin texture with a natural glow.

Fractional CO2 laser technology, a form of laser resurfacing, precisely delivers laser energy to treat specific layers of the skin, targeting damaged skin cells while promoting new collagen growth. With one treatment, you can achieve visible improvements in skin tone, texture, and overall youthfulness.
