What is CO2 laser skin resurfacing?

CO2 laser resurfacing is the most ablative laser treatment available in Bay Area. Carbon dioxide lasers are used to treat skin conditions such as wrinkles, sun damage, birthmarks, and scars.

Deep wrinkles, acne scarring and sun damaged can be improved with CO2 laser resurfacing, which is the strongest, most aggressive form of laser treatment for wrinkles.

A candidate for CO2 laser resurfacing will typically have deep facial wrinkles, acne scarring and uneven pigmentation. The deep wrinkles may involve the entire face or regions such as around the mouth or under the eyes.

Tips for finding the right Bay Area CO2 laser resurfacing doctor or provider

Ask your Bay Area CO2 laser resurfacing laser provider:

1. Who will be performing the CO2 laser resurfacing treatment? In Bay Area, some laser treatments are performed by nurses or estheticians. State laws vary and may require the doctor to be on site or within a certain distance from the location. Verify in your consultation that the appropriate protocols will be followed.

2. May I see before and after photos of other Bay Area patients who have already had this CO2 laser resurfacing?

3. May I speak to a current patient who has already had CO2 laser resurfacing in your office?

4. Are there any side effects I should be concerned about?

Do not commit to CO2 laser resurfacing with a Bay Area doctor based solely upon advertising, special pricing, or the referral of another patient before fully researching the background of the surgeon.
