Cool Peel CO2 Laser Skin Rejuvenation Los Angeles
CO2 laser treatments are celebrated for their precision and results in tackling signs of aging and skin imperfections like hyperpigmentation, acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles. The CoolPeel & fractional CO2 laser treatments offer the gold standard in facial rejuvenation. Resplendence Medical Spa in Beverly Hills is here to help you understand more about these procedures and how they can help restore a more youthful appearance.
CO2 Laser Resurfacing: The Gold Standard
CO2 laser resurfacing, known as the gold standard in skin rejuvenation treatments, exhibits a remarkable ability to stimulate collagen and elastin production. This leads to rejuvenated skin that not only looks healthier but feels revitalized from the inside out. Globally recognized for its effectiveness in treating facial wrinkles, the treatment has reported an average improvement of 45% in facial rhytid scores, attributed to increased collagen production by fibroblasts.
As long as proper skincare is maintained and sun exposure is minimized, the results from CO2 laser resurfacing continue to enhance over 6 months post-procedure. This contributes to the enduring success of CO2 laser resurfacing as a skin rejuvenation treatment.
The long-lasting skin improvements and the stimulation of new collagen and elastin formation make this treatment a go-to choice for individuals looking to truly invest in the health of their skin.
How CO2 Laser Resurfacing Works
CO2 laser resurfacing utilizes concentrated carbon dioxide to evaporate the skin’s top layers, treating the skin at a cellular level and facilitating the removal of damaged skin layers. The fractional treatment provides customizable procedures through precise control over power, depth, and the spacing between laser beams, ensuring versatility to address a range of skin concerns.
CoolPeel treatment includes the heating of the middle skin layer and vaporizing just the superficial layer, which stimulates new collagen growth. This contributes to skin revitalization and tightening. The CoolPeel CO2 laser resurfacing technique specifically targets only the superficial layer of skin for less thermal damage and enhanced comfort, while simultaneously ensuring effective skin tightening through new collagen production. This promotes reduced downtime and rapid re-epithelialization due to the controlled creation of microscopic wounds surrounded by healthy skin, accelerating the healing process.
Common Skin Concerns Treated
Treating a wide range of skin concerns, including:
- Acne Scars
- Sun Damage
- Age Spots
- Fine Lines & Wrinkles
CO2 laser resurfacing proves to be an effective solution. The treatment is particularly adept at mitigating photo-aging, reducing mild scarring, and erasing solitary cutaneous lesions. For acne, trauma, or surgery scarring, CO2 laser resurfacing stimulates collagen production, helping to blend scars with the surrounding skin.
Patients have seen long-term improvements in facial wrinkles and pigmentation concerns such as freckles and sun spots following CO2 laser resurfacing treatments. Severe acne scars can be significantly improved with fractional CO2 laser resurfacing, providing intense skin rejuvenation with minimal risks.
Finally, the CoolPeel CO2 laser treatment, also known as coolpeel laser treatment, specifically targets fine lines, sun damage, dark spots while also minimizing pores and improving overall skin texture.
Preparing for Your CO2 Laser Treatment
Several preparations are needed before you undergo a CO2 laser treatment. At Resplendence MedSpa, Dr. Sabour conducts a thorough comprehensive history and physical evaluation to ensure there are no health issues that may impact the outcome of the CO2 laser treatment.
Patients should:
- Avoid tanning and excessive sun exposure for at least 4 weeks prior to the procedure
- Cease using skin irritants such as retinoids and salicylic acid at least 2 weeks before
- Moisturize skin thoroughly for seven days prior to optimize treatment results.
Moreover, patients should:
- Discontinue any medications that cause increased sun sensitivity, such as doxycycline or minocycline, at least 3 days in advance
- Ensure to stay hydrated and nourished on the day of the procedure
- Have someone available to drive them home if sedation is used
- Arrive with clean skin free of makeup or lotions
- Wear glasses instead of contact lenses if ocular shields are required during treatment.
What to Expect During and After Treatment
Patients undergo the CO2 laser resurfacing procedure under a combination of local anesthetic to manage discomfort, with nitrous oxide available if needed.
After the treatment, patients can expect symptoms such as raw, sunburn-like skin with potential redness, swelling, scabbing, and irritation which will last approximately 1 to 2 weeks and require social downtime of 3 to 5 days.
Treatment Duration
The duration of CO2 laser resurfacing procedures typically ranges from 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the size of the area and the specific skin concerns being treated. However, a full-face CoolPeel laser peel treatment has a shorter duration, taking about 15-20 minutes to complete.
Post-Treatment Care
After undergoing a CO2 laser treatment, patients should:
- Keep the treated areas moist with a healing emollient such as Aquaphor to prevent the formation of crusts or scabs from clear fluid oozing from the area.
- Avoid wearing makeup or shaving over the treated area until it is fully healed.
- Manage any pain or discomfort with acetaminophen or NSAIDs, unless they are contraindicated due to liver or kidney problems.
Patients are also advised to:
- Sleep with their head elevated for the first 1-2 nights post-treatment to minimize swelling
- Change their pillowcase daily for 5 days after the procedure or lay a clean towel over it each night to avoid bacterial buildup
- Wear sunscreen, a large hat, and sunglasses to protect the treated skin from sun exposure post-treatment
Combining CO2 Laser with Other Aesthetic Treatments
Apart from standalone CO2 laser treatments, there is also the possibility of combining this treatment with other aesthetic treatments for enhanced results. For instance, dermal fillers add volume beneath the skin’s surface to smooth wrinkles and can be used in conjunction with CO2 laser treatments for enhanced results. BOTOX and dermal fillers can often be combined with CO2 laser treatments in a strategy known as a liquid facelift, providing a more complete facial rejuvenation.
Another effective combination is RF microneedling with CO2 laser skin resurfacing, enhancing the comprehensive results by addressing different skin layers. Chemical peels, which remove the top layers of the skin to reveal fresher skin beneath, can also be combined with CO2 laser treatments for multi-layered skin rejuvenation spaced 3-5 weeks apart.
Microneedling, which promotes collagen production and can refresh the skin, may be paired with CO2 laser treatments for a synergistic effect, often in conjunction with medical-grade skincare products.
