Your skin is always changing. As it ages and sustains typical daily damage, its texture can become looser, causing the development of wrinkles and fine lines. If you want to reduce the appearance of skin damage and restore your aesthetic confidence, then you may benefit from an advanced laser treatment.
At Roy Geronemus, MD, our team members address these aesthetic concerns with our CO2 laser treatment in NYC. Roy Geronemus, MD addresses these aesthetic concerns with our CO2 laser treatment in NYC.
CO2 Treatment for Damaged Skin
CO2 laser is an ablative fractional laser which treats superficial sun damage, deeper lines, wrinkles and many types of scars, while stimulating collagen and elastin which are the building blocks of the skin.
By resurfacing the top layers of the skin and producing additional collagen proteins in the deeper layers, we can create the appearance of healthier, more even-toned skin.
What a CO2 Laser Treats
CO2 laser skin treatment can revitalize the appearance of the skin and target several signs of aging. Consider speaking with our team members about this treatment if you want to address:
- Wrinkles
- Fine lines
- Scars
- Uneven texture
- Uneven tone
- And more
The CO2 laser’s versatility is one of the biggest advantages of the treatment. But if you are still unsure whether this treatment can address your skin concerns, meet with our team for a consultation. We can examine your skin, discuss your treatment goals, and determine whether this treatment is right for you.
What Causes Damaged Skin?
There are many reasons why a person’s skin may develop damage. The skin serves as a barrier to the outside world, protecting your body from sun damage.
However, while the skin protects your body, it can develop noticeable damage in response. But protecting your body is not the only reason your skin may develop uneven tone, fine lines, or wrinkles.
As you age, your body produces fewer collagen proteins, which results in a less stable skin structure. This is a natural part of the aging process, but it results in sagging, drooping skin, which may impact your everyday confidence. Fortunately, with a CO2 laser treatment in NYC, we can help restore your skin’s youthful appearance.
What Kind of Results to expect
Following a CO2 laser treatment in NYC, recovery varies from patient to patient depending on the procedure that was performed. Our providers write individualized post-treatment instructions and give them to each patient.
Skin may look pink or sensitive for as long as 2 weeks after your treatment, but the results timeline will vary depending on the severity of your concerns and how you take care of their skin following your CO2 laser treatment.
Maintaining Your Results
After your laser treatment, Roy Geronemus, MD will recommend post treatment skin care to maintain your results of CO2 laser treatment in NYC.
- Avoid any activities that may cause you to sweat, like hot baths, saunas, or intensive exercise.
- Do not go into direct sunlight while your skin heals, as this may cause irritation and inflammation.
- We recommend all patients wear sunscreen with a 30 SPF or higher.
- Stay hydrated and keep skin healthy with gentle cleansers and moisturizers.
For ideal results, we typically recommend several treatment sessions. Most patients need anywhere from 3 to 5, but this number may vary depending on your needs.
