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

Hello and thank you for your question. Your beard is safe from damage from CO2 lasers as hair follicles lie deep under the skin away from the laser penetration. Remember to ask about pre-treatment. I find that pre-treating the skin is advantageous to better outcomes. Best of luck to you.

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.
