Going for my first session of CO2 laser resurfacing. Does it causes any damage to my facial beard????

I appreciate your concern. If your CO2 laser resurfacing is performed by a board-certified dermatologist with extensive experience in the procedure, you should not experience any adverse effects to your facial hair. The hair follicle where hair growth initiates, is actually located deeper in the skin than it is safe to go with a CO2 laser. Follow all pre- and post-treatment instructions given by your provider to ensure an optimal outcome. CO2 is fabulous for tightening skin, wrinkle reduction and overall rejuvenation. Good luck!

The chromophore for skin resurfacing lasers such as Erbium or CO2 is water.  Hair removal lasers target melanin in the hair follicle .  For this reason skin resurfacing is safe on hair bearing skin.

CO2 laser resurfacing is normally not done to a depth that would affect beard growth.  It is important to avoid sun exposure to the area after it is treated also.
