Question

I am 56 years old and have really good skin except the crows feet around my eyes. Will the Co2 laser skin resurfacing treatment help minimize the lines around my eyes? I had it done around my mouth area and loved it.

If you're searching for a one-time procedure that will provide long-lasting benefits, CO2 may be your best choice for treating crow's feet. Crow's feet can also be treated with other, less ablative lasers for results in a series of treatments, such as Morpheus, etc. CO2 is one of the finest ways to activate collagen and repair problem areas like crow's feet and the area around the mouth, provided you're alright with some downtime and discomfort.

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 pigmentation. Our approach utilizes a multi-depth approach that targets melanocytes in the epidermis and collagen fibroblasts in the dermis. This approach can be combined with a TCA Peel in a process known as a sapphire peel. Fractional laser is excellent for acne scars and contour scars in the skin. Patients are advised to undergo skin protocols with Melarase creams before and after treatment to help reduce pigmentation. Melarase AM, Melarase PM, and Melapads can seriously improve surface sun damage and UV related pigmentation. After the laser, we expect redness for a few weeks as the skin improves. PRP and Hydrafacial enzyme facials can further improve skin quality after fractional co2.

CO2 laser skin resurfacing is a popular procedure that can improve the appearance of the skin by removing the top layer of the skin to stimulate collagen production and promote the growth of new, healthier skin. This treatment is often used for various skin issues, including fine lines and wrinkles.When it comes to crow's feet, CO2 laser resurfacing can be very effective in reducing their appearance. It helps by smoothing out the skin's texture and stimulating collagen production, which can lead to a reduction in the depth and visibility of these fine lines. It is important to go to a Board-Certified Dermatologist to discuss your specific needs, skin type, and the severity of your crow's feet to determine if CO2 laser resurfacing is the right treatment for you.
