Can Deep CO2 laser treatment dissolve fillers?

Question

Hi, first of All, thanks for your timé, i appreciate a lot the work you do in this site. I had BELOTERO SOFT, in my dark circle hollows, the doctor extend it slightly to the cheek And the result was AMAZING, i was so happy, after 8 days i got a Deep CO2 Laser treatment, i read that BELOTERO SOFT is used moré superficially that other fillers, and since the Co2 treatment was deep and they treated the filler área now im afraid that the beautiful effect of the filler will dissolve, thanks again!

lasers do not dissolve fillers, but RF treatments can sometimes be used to help improve complications if you are unhappy.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question randomlion.
Fractional CO2 laser resurfacing is an
outstanding treatment that can address multiple aspects of aging in a single
treatment. Theoretically a deep fractional laser may affect a filler that is placed superficially. If the filler is placed deep on the bone, I would not be concerned. It is important to ask your doctor where the filler was placed. For my patients I recommend waiting one to two weeks after a filler before having a fractional laser or even doing the filler a couple of weeks after the laser. But I know physicians who routinely perform both treatments on the same day. Please consult with a doctor for
specific recommendations. Good luck!

Of all the fillers Belotero is the one that has the most potential to come in direct contact with the CO2 beam since it is promoted to be placed very superficially in the dermis. However from what you describe it was probably placed deep in the soft tissue just over the periosteum. You definitley need to contact your injector to find out exactly what was done and notify the CO2 surgeon if you do proceed.

Hi There Thank you for your question.IF you have had filler in the eye area it would have likely been put on to the bone.The CO2 laser would not penetrate to that level under any circumstance.But there will be an inflammatory reaction and that may well affect the filler.Kind Regards Dr Dinesh Maini Zenith Cosmetic Clinics
