CO2 Skin Resurfacing

What is skin resurfacing?

Laser resurfacing to improve cosmetic flaws, such as wrinkles, acne scars, and aging and sun-damaged skin, is the latest scientific breakthrough in skin rejuvenation. CO₂ skin resurfacing was rated the #1 treatment for the last decade in skin care and anti-aging. With Botox at #6, this says a lot about what CO₂ can do when compared to other forms of resurfacing. Elase also offers Erbium Fractional treatments as well.

How does the carbon dioxide (CO₂) laser work?

Elase offers the best in laser CO₂ technology which makes all the difference in desired results. The newest generation of the CO₂ laser delivers short bursts of extremely high-energy laser light. This revolutionary technology actually vaporizes the undesired skin tissue, one layer at a time, revealing fresh skin underneath. These treatments can be done both fractionally and fully ablative depending on the patients desired results. The laser’s highly-focused aim enables the practitioner to gently remove the skin’s surface revealing healthy, vibrant and refreshing skin for a more youthful appearance.

What are the limitations of laser resurfacing?

Laser resurfacing is not a substitute for a facelift, nor can the procedure eliminate excessive skin or jowls. However, by tightening loose skin, laser resurfacing can improve certain folds and creases. Laser resurfacing offers an alternative to traditional resurfacing methods and offers greater results when compared to minor treatments like dermabrasion, and can also work well in conjunction with or as an additional treatment to other cosmetic skin procedures such as chemical peels, blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) and other minor surgeries of the face and neck.
