The fractional laser may be an excellent choice in your condition if you are a candidate for laser resurfacing for tightness, collagen loss, and wrinkles. Best, DR. Karamanoukian Los Angeles
laser resurfacing is great for anyone who is a candidate --- wrinkles, sun spots, proper skin type etc -- I suggest a formal consultation with an expert to determine if this and/or other treamtents are options for you (deep peels, microneedling, PRP, surgery etc). Best of luck, Dr. Emer.
CO2 laser is great for skin resurfacing-it improves fine line, tightens skin and improves skin tone. I am not sure exactly what you are looking for, but if you are looking to refresh your skin ,then yes, CO2 resurfacing is a wonderful option
Without any photos or history, it is impossible to answer this question appropriately, but from an age perspective, you are never too old for a CO2. Some of the best results come with patients well above 80, who have the most damage amenable to correction.
Hello. Thank you for your question. It is hard to answer this question because you did not indicate your concerns and goals for treatment, and there are no pictures provided. CO2 laser skin resurfacing is helpful for improvement of facial wrinkles and sun-damaged skin. If these are your concerns, it is likely that CO2 laser would be helpful. However, you would need to be evaluated by a physician skilled in this technique to determine if this is the best option to achieve the goals that you seek. I hope this information is helpful.
Fractional co2 has quicker healing and only treats part of the skin at once, whereas co2 laser is fully ablative and burns the entire skin surface. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles
Fractional CO2 laser is an excellent tool for skin rejuvenation in our center in Santa Monica. We use the fractional multi-depth ablative approach to help resurface the skin, recontour acne scars, improve incisional plastic surgery scars, and reduce surface irregularities from skin tone to dark...
I would use a combination of Melarase creams + Q switch laser to help reduce the pigmentation in the skin from sun exposure and CO2 laser. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles
You likely need nonablative fractional laser or radiofreuqency or microneedling with PRP or both to help repair this. I suggest only going to a board certified medical doctor who specializes in lasers for your laser care. Best, Dr. Emer.
A fractional CO2 laser used by an experience laser expert is well tolerated with less risk for additional scarring than non fractional lasers. In general red heads and blonds with fair eye color (blue, green, hazel) have less risk of developing significant scars such as hypertrophic or keloid scars.
There is no reason smiling, talking or moving would influence the results of co2 laser. What does is the physician performing the procedure and the use of PRP immediatley post treatment and sculptra before. Best, Dr. Emer.
