WHAT IS

CO2 Laser Resurfacing

What do you see staring back at you when you look in the mirror? Are you happy with the texture and appearance of your facial skin, or are there tiny lines, scarring, and imperfections that appear to you to be glaring back? Even if the scars are minor or the lines are small, if they make you feel less attractive, then they should be addressed. There is no reason for you to avoid looking in a mirror. Instead, you should be pleased to see a healthy, youthful-looking face beaming back at you. With the professional help of the team at Body Preserve of Scottsdale and a simple CO2 laser resurfacing treatment, you can be well on your way to that smiling face you want to share with the world.

What Is CO2 Laser Resurfacing?

The CO2 Laser Resurfacing treatment uses a beam of energy to remove the damaged exterior layer of skin carefully. The process also heats the other skin layers to promote increased collagen production, the protein that boosts skin firmness and promotes a more smooth texture. With the damaged layer removed, new, more supple skin grows back in its place, eliminating the scarring and lines detracting from your face’s natural beauty.

What To Expect After Your CO2 Laser Resurfacing

While the process of removing years of aging and damage to the surface layer of your skin will take only a short time at Body Preserve, please understand that each person’s body heals at its own rate. The timeline estimate we provide is reasonable, and your recovery and healing process should follow these stages. You can ensure the most rapid healing and outcome from your treatment by carefully following all aftercare instructions and continuing to provide ample sun protection for your face outdoors in the Phoenix and Gilbert areas, where sun damage is common.

On the first day or two after your procedure, you can expect to feel as if your face was sunburned, warm, and possibly a little swollen and red. Days three and four will begin the healing process and can create a feeling of tightness, added sensitivity to the touch, and minor peeling. In the following few days, the healing process will continue, and the skin can be crusting. After roughly a week to ten days, the crusting will have subsided, and the healing process is all but complete. In the first one to three weeks, the new skin can appear more pink as it is a newly healed or formed layer of skin, much like the soft pink skin of a baby. That tone will continue to fade over the next month or so as it returns to your normal skin tone.

Please reach out to Body Preserve today to explore this option to wipe away the lines and marks that time has left on your face to see a more youthful, happy smile each time you look in the mirror.
