CO₂ Laser Resurfacing
Precision laser resurfacing for complete skin renewal and scar treatment.
What It Is
CO₂ Laser Resurfacing uses a fractional carbon dioxide laser to precisely remove the outer layers of damaged skin, stimulating the body's natural collagen production process. The result is smoother, younger-looking skin with significantly improved texture and tone.
Who It's For
Best suited for patients with fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, uneven skin texture, or enlarged pores. Suitable for most skin types with proper consultation.
Key Benefit
Dramatic improvement in skin texture and tone in a single treatment session, with results lasting several years with proper care.
How It Works
The CO₂ laser emits a focused beam of light that vaporizes the surface layers of damaged skin. The fractional approach treats only a fraction of the skin at a time, leaving surrounding tissue intact for faster healing.
1
Fractional CO₂ laser creates micro-columns of thermal injury in the skin, triggering natural regeneration.
2
Surrounding tissue remains intact, accelerating healing and reducing downtime compared to traditional ablative lasers.
3
Controlled depth penetration allows customized treatment for different skin concerns and areas.
Areas Treated
Full face
Periorbital area
Neck
Décolletage
Hands
Specific scar areas
Comfort Level
20–30 minutes depending on treatment area
Treatment Process
Consultation
Detailed skin assessment with Dr. Eskandari to evaluate scar depth, skin type, and customize laser parameters for optimal results.
Treatment Process
Topical anesthetic is applied before treatment. The laser handpiece passes over the treatment area in a precise, controlled pattern. Cooling devices minimize discomfort throughout the procedure.
Comfort Level
Topical anesthetic applied 45 minutes prior; mild to moderate heat sensation during treatment; cooling provided.
Expected Results
Understanding potential reactions and ensuring safe, informed treatment.
Outcomes
Significantly smoother skin texture, reduced scars, diminished fine lines, and improved overall complexion.
Timeline
Visible improvement after healing (7–10 days); optimal results at 3–6 months as collagen remodeling continues.
Longevity
Results can last several years; maintenance treatments every 1–2 years recommended to sustain improvements.
Risk & Side Effects
Understanding potential reactions and ensuring safe, informed treatment.
Temporary redness, swelling, and peeling for 5–10 days post-treatment
Temporary skin sensitivity and increased sun sensitivity
Rare risk of pigmentation changes, more common in darker skin types
Safety Note
Pre-treatment preparation including antiviral medication may be prescribed. Post-treatment care is critical — strict sun avoidance and prescribed skincare protocol must be followed.
