Skin rejuvenation with CO₂ laser resurfacing works very well for superficial and medium-depth scars like superficial rolling scars, ice pick and shallow pick scars, boxcar scars, and hypertrophic scars as well. 

Resurfacing laser for face can drastically improve the quality of your skin, reduce pore size, and decrease pigmentation. This, in turn, will increase your skin’s light reflex, making it look more radiant than before. 

Deep cysts tend to be multiple and measure 1-2 mm in diameter, becoming more noticeable when the skin is stretched. 

When it comes to scar revision, CO₂ laser skin rejuvenation treatment is highly recommended. Compared to non-ablative lasers, RF treatments, and microneedling, CO₂ laser therapy for skin rejuvenation has more scientific backing. 

CO₂ laser can cover the total skin surface when delivered through a full beam. Fractional CO₂ laser service covers only 5-60% of the skin surface but has better outcomes with lesser downtime. The risks and costs are also lower. 

Lasers will break down the scar tissue and stimulate collagen production. The controlled heating of lasers stimulates the collagen production in deeper layers of the skin. Microneedling is not as effective as it uses cold devices. Though they can deliver the agents to the skin more effectively, they do not generate heat shock protein, like lasers, thus making them less effective for scar revision.

The number of sessions required to see optimal CO2 laser results will depend on

• Skin colour – The darker your skin colour, the more the number of sessions required.
• Scar Type – The deeper the scars, the more the number of sessions are required.
• Downtime – If you want a shorter recovery, you will need a larger number of sessions.
• Goals – what your expectations are from the lasers are.

We aim to give you the best possible results in the least number of sessions possible after considering your skin type, issues, and other preferences. 

The pain intensity depends on the depth of laser coverage. We use -

• A numbing cream for superficial laser resurfacing
• Numbing cream + nerve blocks + gas  for medium laser resurfacing
• Conscious sedation + numbing cream + nerve blocks for deep laser resurfacing.

You won’t feel any pain after the procedure, even throughout your recovery period. 

Despite impressive results, the CO2 laser recovery time is long. Here is a generic guide for recovery post-CO2 lasers:

• Superficial resurfacing (level 1-2) will take 2-4 days for recovery, and your skin will be red for 4-6 days. 
• Medium resurfacing (levels 2-4) will take 3-5 days for recovery, and the skin will be red for about 2 weeks.
• Deep laser resurfacing (level 4-5) will take about 6-8 hours for recovery, and the skin will stay red for about 3 months. 

We can estimate your recovery time frame after consultation. If you want to speed up the recovery, we can use lasers like vascular, LED, or Pico. 

Initial results will be visible in the first week. It will take about 4-6 months to see the collagen remodelling effects.

Active acne can cause inflammation and delay collagen production. You can compound the results over a 6-12 month period by employing a series of treatments. 

CO2 laser resurfacing for acne scars produces better results than microneedling. The laser uses heat, which stimulates collagen production and enhances results. Microneedling is also used to treat some scars, like tethered scars & hypertrophic scars.

While CO2 lasers work better for acne scars, microneedling works well for delivering topicals into deeper layers of the skin. 

CO₂ laser treatment cost depends on the complexity of the skin issue being treated. Light resurfacing used for treating superficial scars will cost less than deep resurfacing. Get in touch with us to know the exact cost of your laser treatment. 

MetaDerm offers advanced dermatology treatments like different types of lasers, chemical peels, and other treatments to treat acne scars and other skin issues. Book a consultation with us to learn about the best treatment we can offer for your acne scars.

Sun exposure post CO₂ laser resurfacing treatment can delay recovery, and increase redness and pigmentation. Using an effective sunscreen twice a day can protect your skin and improve the results of your full-face laser resurfacing. 

Before your CO₂ laser for pigmentation, do the following:

• Bring your acne under control, as active acne can delay recovery and collagen production.
• Use sunscreen with high SPF, twice daily, for effective protection.
• Check how many sessions you may require. The darker your skin tone, the more the number of sessions 
• Get a clear diagnosis, as using the right laser is crucial for good outcomes.
