Can CO2 laser and Diamond peel be performed at the same time? (photos)

Our treatments use combination therapy to improve the epidermis and dermis. We see atrophic and hypertrophic scars, as well as scars that have hypo and hyperpigmentation. Our main concern is rebuilding collagen and that is why we use a HIDEF protocol that includes combination therapy. Morpheus 8, scar subcision, fibrous release, fractional laser, CO2 laser, Thulium laser, PDL Vbeam laser, and fractional resurfacing can be used in addition to TCA Cross and chemical peels to further improve skin. Patients should start Melarase AM and Melarase PM for active hyperpigmentation. Always begin with a consultation to discuss the best treatment options for your type of skin. .

Hello! My name is Jessica, I am a physician assistant, and one of the providers at Aesthetic Skin in Winnetka and Chicago. This is a great question. Yes, you can have a carbon laser treatment and a diamond peel (microdermabrasion) at the same time, but it’s essential to consider a few factors before proceeding. CO2 lasers involve applying a carbon lotion to the skin, which is then targeted with laser light to remove the carbon particles and improve skin texture. It can help with acne scars by exfoliating the skin and stimulating collagen production. Further, a Diamond Peel, is a form of microdermabrasion that uses a diamond-tipped wand to exfoliate the outer layer of the skin, which can help reduce the appearance of acne scars and improve skin texture. Combining these treatments can offer enhanced exfoliation and rejuvenation benefits, potentially improving the appearance of acne marks more effectively than either treatment alone. I hope this helps and best of luck!
