Can CO2 laser reduce or thin very thick skin and meaty nasal skin?

Question

Can laser CO2 reduce or thin the thick skin of the nose (bulbous), in my case the skin is normal and healthy, I have no rhinophyma, rosacea, or any of that, it can be helpful or work anyway?

William Groff, DO · Answer

Yes, a CO2 laser can address thick skin on the nose in some situations. I frequently use this laser to treat a condition known as rhinophyma, which is characterized by thickening skin and deformity of the nasal tip. I encourage you to schedule a consultation with an experienced, board-certified dermatologist with expertise in laser techniques. Through a personal assessment and discussion of your specific concerns and goals, your doctor should be able to recommend a customized treatment plan that will produce the best results for you.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

yes co2 laser can help this but long term lasers and peels are needed such as cosmelan peels and enlighten then followed by fraxel and halo.  I suggest you see an expert this needs a very detailed treatment.  Best, Dr. Emer.
