Description
CO2RE is a fractional CO2 laser treatment used for skin resurfacing and rejuvenation designed to improve skin texture, reduce wrinkles, and address a variety of skin imperfections.
Overview
CO2RE utilizes a carbon dioxide (CO2) laser to deliver targeted beams of light to the skin. It creates controlled micro-damage to the skin’s surface to promote the body’s natural healing process. This results in new collagen and elastin production. The fractional approach treats only a fraction of the skin at a time, leaving surrounding areas untouched and reducing overall downtime.
Treatments
CO2RE is effective for a range of skin issues, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, and overall skin texture.
Treatment Process
Starts with applying a topical numbing cream to minimize discomfort. The CO2RE laser is then moved across the treatment area in a grid-like pattern. Settings can be adjusted to target different skin concerns, from superficial blemishes to deeper wrinkles and scars.
Pre & Post Care
Pre-Treatment
- Topical numbing cream is applied prior to treatment to minimize discomfort.
Post-Treatment
- May experience redness, swelling, and a sensation similar to a mild sunburn.
- Skin may appear dry and flaky as it heals.
- These effects usually subside within a few days to a week.
Expected Results
Onset
Improved skin texture and tone typically noticed within a few weeks.
Duration
Optimal results become apparent over several months as collagen remodeling continues.
Maintenance
Multiple sessions might be recommended for best results.
