Am I a good candidate for co2 laser resurfacing for my face, neck & chest? (Photos)

Question

I have sun damaged skin on my face, neck and chest. I would like to know if CO2 laser resurfacing would address all these areas?

Jason Emer, MD (license on probation) · Answer

Fraxel and/or CO2 are best for resurfacing, but Erbium and Halo are good alternatives. I always combine lasers with microneedling/PRP for more robust outcomes. For skin tightening, I recommend a combination of Ultherapy with RF treatments and Sculptra for skin tightening. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you, Nic37 for your question and photographs.
 Photographic evaluation is incomplete without personal examination to give the most appropriate answer.
 However from the photographs, it seems that,
CO2 Fractional Laser could be a choice for your treatment. Laser CO2 works by removing the thin upper layer of your skin. Thus synthesis of new collagen begins which causes your skin to appear more smooth, tight, and healthier. Along with this procedure, you must also apply sunscreen on your concerned areas it will protect you from any further photo ageing. A minimum of 3 sessions is needed to give the optimal results.

Please consult a board-certified dermatologist near you and discuss this in detail.
Wish you an alluring look
