Yes. You should speak with our medical team about your full medical and skin history to minimize the risk of adverse reactions.
You can expect some moderate discomfort during your CO2RE treatment, but the anesthetic applied before the procedure typically makes it tolerable. For more aggressive, higher power treatments, we may recommend a nerve blocks, oral pain relievers and/or sedatives during the treatment session. Over-the-counter pain relievers may be taken in the days after the procedure to alleviate any residual discomfort.
Ideal candidates for CO2RE are in their 30s or older with skin damaged by sun exposure, age spots, fine lines, wrinkles, discoloration, rough texture, acne scars, and other skin imperfections. It is ideal for anyone seeking younger-looking skin without the long downtime associated with conventional ablative resurfacing procedures.
The durability of CO2RE results approaches that of surgical procedures. However, there are a number of variables that will determine how long you can expect the results to last, including your health, age, and how you care for your skin after the treatment.
Immediately following the procedure, you can expect a sensation similar to a sunburn, lasting several hours. You can expect to see dead skin peeling from the treatment area. This is a natural exfoliation process that may last 7-10 days.
We may recommend a short course of antibiotics to minimize any risk of infection. The use of a moisturizer and sunscreen is highly recommended during the healing process and in the weeks and months following treatment.
There seems to be an endless array of skin rejuvenation options. Encore CO2 Laser delivers thousands of tiny laser pulses in a computer-generated pattern over the treated skin. Each pulse heats a column of tissue, eliminating surface pigment discoloration and creating a zone of heating deep within the tissue. Unique to the Encore, these heating zones shrink collagen and tighten the skin immediately. The CO2 laser offers the benefits of heating deeper layers of skin tissue, thereby stimulating collagen remodeling and tightening the skin further.
