Answer: How often can you repeat Co2 laser Dear patient, I am often asked by patients if lasers such as Mixto fractional Co2 cause thinning of the skin and if they can be repeated. My answer is always the same. Removing 3 or 4 layers of the skin stimulates more skin growth and can actually thicken the skin. The trauma of the laser promotes Collagen synthesis and new elastic fibers are put down. In summary; YES CO2 laser can be repeated yearly. Having said that an aggressive Co2 laser should last for many years. Please look for an experienced Dermatologist who can do a treatment that will result in lasting improvement. Yours Dr David R.

Answer: Repeating CO2 laser treatments This is a great question and absolutely! The Co2 resurfacing treatment can be repeated annually but as early as 6 months depending on aggressiveness of the treatment and healing time. This treatment customized and will very from client to client. I would recommend having a personal consultation done.

Answer: Repeating CO2 laser treatments In most cases, CO2 laser resurfacing can be repeated. The length of time between treatments will vary based on the depth of the procedure and the skin’s healing process. Choose a board-certified dermatologist with expertise in CO2 laser for a full, in-person assessment and discussion of your treatment goals. Through this meeting, your doctor should be able to design a treatment plan that is both safe and effective for you.

Answer: Repeating CO2 Treatments In most cases, the answer is yes, you can repeat CO2 laser treatments to maintain your positive results. However, the frequency will depend on the depth of your previous procedure and the level of correction you hope to achieve. If you had a fractionated treatment, this process stimulates collagen production by creating small channels deep in the skin, leaving surrounding skin and tissue untouched. This process will likely need to be repeated.

Answer: Repeat Treatments using CO2 Laser Resurfacing The ability to repeat your CO2 laser resurfacing will depend on numerous factors, including the depth of your procedure, the sensitivity of your skin and the outcome you are hoping to achieve. In most cases, this treatment can be repeated annually or even more frequently to maintain your positive results if it is a fractionated laser like Fraxel Repair or Active/Deep Fx. For more advanced problems, a fully ablative CO2 resurfacing is often done. This is a deep laser that takes up to 10 days to heal but lasts many years. It is often not repeated for 10 years or longer. Make sure you work with a board-certified dermatologist who can advise you on the safest and most effective treatment plan for you.
