Co2re Laser

Hi there!

CO2 laser, or carbon dioxide laser, is a type of laser used in skin resurfacing treatments. It works by creating tiny holes in the skin, which stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, resulting in smoother, tighter skin.

CO2 laser treatments are popular because they can address a wide range of skin concerns, including wrinkles, fine lines, scars, and uneven texture. At Sparkle, we love CO2 laser treatments because they can provide dramatic, long-lasting results with minimal downtime.

However, it is important to note that CO2 laser treatments are more aggressive than other skin tightening treatments and may not be suitable for everyone.

It is best to schedule a consultation with our experienced team to determine if CO2 laser treatment is right for your skin type and concerns.

How Does it work?
CO2 laser works by emitting a concentrated beam of light that vaporizes the outer layers of the skin. This removes damaged skin cells and stimulates the production of collagen, which helps to tighten and firm the skin. The laser also heats the underlying layers of skin, which encourages the growth of new skin cells and further stimulates collagen production.

This process can result in significant improvements in skin tone, texture, and firmness, as well as the reduction of fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging. CO2 laser resurfacing can be performed on the face, neck, chest, and other areas of the body.

Co2 Laser & Downtime
CO2 laser is a highly effective treatment that uses short pulses of light to resurface the skin and reveal smoother, tighter, and more youthful-looking skin. It is especially effective for deep lines and wrinkles, although the recovery time may be longer compared to other skin tightening treatments. Despite this, CO2 laser is considered the ultimate treatment for deep lines, providing significant and long-lasting results.

To determine if CO2 laser is the right option for your skin concerns, it is important to consult with a trained and experienced provider, who can discuss the expected downtime and aftercare needed for optimal results.

Is Co2 Laser Safe?
CO2 laser treatments are generally safe when performed by a trained provider. Sparkle uses the CO2RE laser, which is customizable for a range of skin concerns, with more aggressive or milder settings depending on the patient’s needs. Compared to other CO2 lasers, the CO2RE has a shorter recovery period due to its fractional laser technology that only targets a fraction of the skin at a time, allowing for faster healing. It delivers significant and long-lasting results, making it an effective option for improving skin texture, tone, and appearance.
How does the Co2re treatment feel like?
After a CO2 laser treatment, patients may experience discomfort and describe it as feeling like tiny hot pinpricks on the skin, but a topical numbing cream can help minimize the discomfort. The skin may also experience redness, swelling, and mild discomfort, similar to a sunburn, which typically lasts for several days. Following a strict aftercare routine is essential, which may include avoiding sun exposure, using gentle skincare products, and keeping the skin moisturized to promote healing and minimize complications.
While the downtime after a CO2 laser treatment is generally longer compared to other skin tightening treatments, patients can expect to see smoother, tighter, and more youthful-looking skin, making the recovery period well worth it.
