When determining which type of laser therapy is the right choice for your skincare needs there are many options to consider. Each laser treatment offers varying levels of treatment, and every person is different in skin quality, tone, and problem issues.

From minimally-invasive treatments to those that will require a bit more care, Dr. Kaado offers the most advanced, effective laser skin resurfacing Virginia Beach has to offer - treatments to help you achieve your goals, including CO2 laser treatments.

What is a CO2 Laser Dermabrasion?

The carbon dioxide (or CO2) laser is employed for a customized facial rejuvenation treatment, or “laser abrasion.” While there are lasers that are gentler, one important detail to remember is the deeper the treatment, the more dramatic the improvements. Dr. Kaado with work with you to address your specific skincare goals to determine if CO2 laser therapy will be the appropriate treatment for you.

What is a CO2 Laser?

During CO2 laser therapy, carbon dioxide ultra-pulse beams are directed at layers of skin. These laser beams remove the outermost layers of the dermis, eliminating signs of aging, stimulating collagen production, and increasing the rate of cell turnover. The new skin revealed by the CO2 laser is brighter, tighter, and now free from the signs of environmental damage and aging that naturally occur in our skin. Once skin is healed, you will be left with the smooth, glowing, radiant skin.

How Does CO2 Laser Therapy Work?

The depth achieved with CO2 laser therapy allows Dr. Kaado to address skincare concerns that cannot be treated through other methods.

Men and women seeking laser skin resurfacing can see visible results for skin concerns on the face, neck, chest, and hands such as:

  • Deep wrinkles and creases in the face
  • Uneven skin tone
  • Scarring
  • Sun damage
  • Precancerous growths

The CO2 laser works by treating the surface of your skin with high-powered light energy, creating miniscule injuries in the deeper layers of skin. These tiny injuries signal the body to produce natural collagen while removing the damaged surface layer. Since the CO2 laser works by heating the outer layers of the skin, local anesthesia will be administered so you remain comfortable during the procedure.

What Can I Expect Following CO2 Laser Therapy?

Following your CO2 laser skin resurfacing in Virginia Beach, you should plan to take some time to allow your skin to heal. Because of the invasive nature of the CO2 laser, healing following resurfacing may take up to two weeks. You will be advised how to care for your skin with specific products to speed healing by Dr. Kaado.

As the days pass, your skin starts to regenerate, revealing fresh, glowing skin. Full results are achieved about six months after CO2 laser skin resurfacing in Virginia Beach. Your skin will appear youthful, evenly-toned, and supple.
