Deeper resurfacing for texture that needs more than the surface.
Deeper resurfacing for texture that needs more than the surface.
CO2 Laser is a fractional, ablative laser resurfacing treatment that works at a deeper level than lighter toning lasers, stimulating collagen remodelling beneath the surface. It is commonly used for acne scars, deeper texture irregularities and fine lines, where a more intensive approach may be appropriate.
Because it is more intensive, Dr Gerald Tan determines the fractional density and depth for each patient based on a thorough skin assessment, balancing the intended outcome against downtime and recovery.
Dr Gerald Tan examines your skin concern, thickness and healing history before determining the appropriate fractional density and depth for your CO2 Laser treatment. Micro-channels are created in the skin's surface, prompting the body's natural healing and collagen remodelling response, which can improve deeper texture irregularities over time.
Deeper or more established scarring from past acne.
Uneven texture that lighter treatments haven't fully addressed.
Early fine lines where deeper collagen remodelling may help.
Those who can accommodate a recovery period for a more intensive result.
Redness, swelling and peeling are expected and typically resolve over about five to seven days as skin heals.
Skin generally settles further, with many patients noticing early improvements in texture during this period.
Collagen remodelling continues gradually, and patients typically see continued improvement over the following months.
