What Is CO2 Laser Resurfacing?

Carbon dioxide laser resurfacing is a popular and trusted skin rejuvenation tool that can produce a more energized, vital appearance. Precision-oriented and thorough, CO2 lasers remove the outermost layer of damaged skin while carefully preserving the integrity of the surrounding skin cells. CO2 lasers are often selected to address:

  • Wrinkles, creases, and lines
  • Scarring
  • Photodamage
  • Birthmarks
  • Enlarged oil glands
  • Age spots
  • Skin lesions

CO2 lasers are engineered as either fractional or ablative. Dr. Reddy will select the right option for meeting your unique goals.

What’s the First Step?

The first step on your journey to a more vibrant, energized appearance with CO2 laser resurfacing is to meet with Dr. Reddy and her team for a private in-person or virtual consultation. During this initial visit, we will review the risks, benefits, costs, recovery time, and expected outcomes of the procedure. Dr. Reddy will answer all your questions, listen carefully to your goals, and complete a detailed physical and medical evaluation.

Once your treatment date has been booked, we will provide you with guidelines on how to best prepare for your appointment. For the month leading up to your session, strive to minimize sun exposure and wear sunblock whenever outdoors. For one week before CO2 laser resurfacing, steer clear of harsh skin care products and exfoliants. If you have a history of herpes or cold sores, it is wise to take antiviral medications before coming into the office.

What to Expect on the Day of CO2 Laser Resurfacing Treatment

Our team in Atlanta is committed to delivering a stress-free and painless treatment experience from start to finish. We will numb your skin with a topical anesthetic prior to applying CO2 laser therapy. This ensures your complete comfort and peace of mind during your session. The procedure typically takes 30 to 90 minutes to complete, depending on the nature of your specific cosmetic concerns.

When the laser energy is applied to the complexion, you may experience a mild tingling sensation or a feeling of warmth. These symptoms are normal and simply show that the technology is working to boost collagen production and provide dramatic rejuvenation from within.

CO2 Laser Resurfacing Recovery

After CO2 laser resurfacing in Atlanta, Georgia, it is common to experience minor swelling, redness, and tenderness in the treated areas. These side effects typically last for several weeks but will not prevent you from resuming your normal schedule immediately. You can use ice packs and Tylenol to counter any mild soreness. You can also apply a soothing ointment to the skin to reduce the risk of scabbing. Be sure to keep your face clean and dry, and start with gentle skincare products. Above all, avoid scratching, picking at, or rubbing your skin during the healing process. Whenever you go outdoors, always wear proper sunscreen to extend the longevity of your results and keep your skin looking healthy and youthful.
