How soon can you wax your face after facelift with CO2 laser?

Question

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question!  I suggest following up with your doctor or a cosmetic dermatologist for a formal evaluation and after care recommendations. I recommend medical-grade skincare with vitamin c, b5 hydrator, silicone-based scar gels with growth factors, and enzymatic washes with papaya enzyme to give improvement. Sun protection is essential.  All skincare, along with free consults with a Skin Care Specialist can be found at Emeragecosmetics.com
Lasers like CO2 work best in combination with other treatments in order to improve the skin's texture and collagen. After CO2, I recommend adding Fraxel lasers, microneedling/PRP, and radiofrequency treatments. Best, Dr. Emer

The timing of when someone could wax their face after a facelift and CO2 laser would primarily depend on the depth of the laser treatment.  I would recommend waiting until the skin has completely healed from the surgery and the laser and when the redness has resolved.  This could potentially take a month or two.  The doctor who performed your procedures should be able to follow your progress and would be able to let you know when it would be safe for you to wax your face.
