I had the CO2 Laser treatment in both 2014 and 2015 and both times I have been amazed with the results.
Why did I do the COs laser?
1. The CO2 laser is the most amazing anti-aging treatment because it can fix all aging signs except dark spots. However, Dr. Kortesis is a wonderful doctor so he combines the CO2 laser with the IPL – which treats dark spots – thus, one treatment virtually fixes all aging issues. Since my 2014 treatment, Dr. Kortesis also added platelet rich plasma injections (PRP) to the laser to give the face a natural plumpness and to further stimulate collagen and speed up healing time.
2. The CO2 laser is performed under general anesthesia so I didn’t have to suffer through a painful treatment.
3. The CO2 Laser is the gift that keeps on giving. You will see results as soon as one week but the results continue to improve month after month and last for several years.
4. I love the convenience of getting all the results I want with just one treatment, one recovery.
There is only one drawback to the CO2 laser treatment and that's the recovery. For one week I had Vaseline all over my face and my face went through a series of itching, oozing, weeping, smelling, a lot of redness and lots of swelling. However, Dr. Kortesis, his nurses and my aesthetician did a great job in explaining to me what to expect about the recovery and reassured me everyday my face was healing well. Yes, the recovery is intense but it's so worthy that I'm looking forward to my next treatment. Since my first CO2 laser, I stopped wearing foundation because my skin is perfect; I have nothing to hide. Tonight, while I was washing my face, I was looking in the mirror and I was still in awe at how amazing my skin looks; it's perfect. I may sound confident and maybe cocky but you can blame the confidence on the CO2 laser :)
The CO2 laser is a powerful laser that can do a lot of good but also a lot of bad if the doctor doesn't know what he is doing. I had the CO2 Laser with Dr. Kortesis twice already and each time, I received the best treatment and outmost care. I have trusted Dr. Kortesis first with my breast augmentation in 2013 and now with my face and he has been the best doctor to me.

Dr. Kortesis is a talented and caring doctor. He always gives me all the time I need to have all my questions answered. He is patient even when I ask the same question 2 or 3 times and lots of times I do that. I can always reach him through phone or email so I feel like I am never alone should I need extra care during recovery or as I prepare for treatment.
