CO2 Laser Resurfacing in the Fort Worth Area

CO2RE Fractional CO2 – Resurfacing system is ideal for the patient in their 30’s and older with skin damage caused by sun exposure, fine lines, rough texture and acne scars. It is ideal since there is not the downtime associated with full ablative resurfacing procedures.

There is moderate discomfort associated with the treatment, therefore a topical anesthetic is applied prior to the procedure and makes it more tolerable. For more aggressive, higher powered procedures a mild oral sedative may be prescribed to be taken prior to the treatment. Over-the counter pain relievers may be taken for a few days after the procedure. After the treatment expect a sensation similar to a sunburn lasting a few hours. Expect a red face and peeling skin to last 7-10 days. This is a great fall/winter procedure and is perfect for individuals that can work from home a few days a week. Generally you will see results after 1 treatment, but for deeper lines and imperfections a series of 3 treatments over a 12 month period is recommended.

By precisely removing damaged skin, layer by layer, CO2RE laser skin resurfacing treatment is able to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles, “turning back the clock” on your complexion and revealing a more youthful looking skin that lies underneath. Fractional CO2 ablation can also lessen the appearance of scars and many other skin imperfections. Benefits include not only the effective correction of moderate to deep lines and wrinkles, but also treatment for uneven pigmentation, photo damage, precancerous spots, and a host of other skin imperfections and benign lesions. If you believe you may be a candidate for CO2RE laser skin resurfacing treatment, call today and schedule a complimentary consultation and determine if the procedure is right for you.

What is Fractional CO2 Ablation – Fractional CO2 ablative lasers generate beams of coherent light that are absorbed by the body’s tissue as energy. The energy is delivered through a narrow range of wavelengths, and in the target area, the energy causes temperature elevation which results in tissue evaporation or ablation. Ablative lasers effectively treat a broad range of skin conditions by removing all or part of the skin.

The body’s natural healing processes, then replace the damaged skin with new and healthy tissue. The CO2RE Fractional CO2 laser is the ‘Gold Standard’ for ablation, delivering an exceptional ratio between ablation and coagulation (heating tissue without evaporating it).
