A CO2 laser, also known as a carbon dioxide laser, is a highly effective medical device used for various skin treatments, particularly in dermatology and aesthetics. It operates by emitting a concentrated beam of light energy through carbon dioxide gas, which effectively removes the outer layers of damaged skin while stimulating collagen production and promoting the growth of new, healthy skin cells. The CO2 laser can be finely controlled, allowing for precise removal of skin layers with minimal damage to the surrounding tissue. This precision is particularly beneficial for delicate areas like the face.
The CO2 laser emits a beam of infrared light at a wavelength of 10,600 nanometers, which is absorbed by water in the skin cells. As the laser light is absorbed, the water in the skin cells heats up and vaporizes, removing the targeted cells.
The controlled injury to the skin triggers a natural healing process, stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin fibers. Over time, the treated area heals with smoother, more even-toned, and rejuvenated skin.
The CO2 laser procedure is done in the office. It generally takes about one hour to do the entire face and less time if we are focused on specific areas. A topical anesthetic mask is applied to the skin to ensure your comfort. Most patients describe the pain of the procedure as tolerable.
