CO2 laser resurfacing

What Is the Phoenix CO2?

The Phoenix CO2 Laser is a skin resurfacing device that can treat uneven pigmentation, sun spots, reduce fine lines and coarse wrinkles, help skin texture, lax skin, and acne scarring. Improving your skin so that will look and feel dramatically better than it has in years!

The Phoenix CO2 laser disburses gentle beams of infrared light. The energy is easily absorbed by our water-rich biological tissue. The laser vaporizes the top layers and places heat into our subdermal tissue to stimulate new skin and collagen. With this advanced modern technology, treatments can be tailored to a patient’s specific desires and expectations.

What Can I Expect During my Treatment?

CO2 lasers appointments are usually about 1 hour, depending on the area being treated. Topical numbing cream is applied to help with any discomfort. You can expect your skin to be red, textured, and possibly swell. After the treatment-something similar to a sunburn with a brownish tint to the skin as the day goes on. These symptoms are a normal part of the healing process and should improve within a few days. Total healing time is usually 5-7 days, but you should be prepared for the full 7 days.

A topical cream (Aquaphor can be used but we highly recommend Alastin products such as nectar and sooth and protect) will be necessary for the first few days. We will provide the cream fro immediate post care but recommned purchasing the kit prior to your treatment. New skin may have a red tint and can be covered by makeup once it is healed until your skin regains its former color.
