The Science Behind
CO2 (carbon dioxide) skin laser resurfacing uses a controlled laser to target selected areas of the skin, removing very fine layers of the skin with the aim of improving the appearance and texture of the skin in areas of concern.
Using a specific wavelength of light, the laser vaporises microscopic layers of the epidermis (the outer skin surface) while heating the deeper layers of the skin. The controlled thermal effect stimulates new collagen and elastin production, helping the skin gradually appear smoother and firmer over time.
What to Expect
Specific recommendations will be given during your consultation. Dr Scott will choose the settings and method of treatment based on your skin, goals and overall suitability.
Details of the procedure will be explained before any treatment is done. You will be provided with care instructions following the treatment, which may include avoiding direct sun exposure and following specific skin care advice.
The way CO2 laser skin resurfacing is carried out will depend on the areas assessed during your consultation.
