CO2 Laser
IN Los Angeles, CA
Introduction to CO2 Laser
CO2 laser is an advanced skin resurfacing treatment designed to address wrinkles, scars, and pigmentation, resulting in smoother and rejuvenated skin. At Sage Medical Aesthetics in Los Angeles, we use the latest CO2 laser technology to help clients achieve dramatic improvements in skin texture, tone, and overall appearance. For those seeking a non-invasive solution to common age-related skin concerns, CO2 laser is a highly effective option.
What Is CO2 Laser?
CO2 laser is a fractional laser treatment that uses carbon dioxide to remove damaged skin layers and stimulate the growth of new, healthy cells. This treatment is highly effective for addressing deep wrinkles, acne scars, and sun damage, making it a versatile solution for skin rejuvenation. At Sage Medical Aesthetics, we use the Alma Hybrid® platform, which combines CO2 and 1570 nm wavelengths for enhanced results. The CO2 laser can be applied to areas like the face, neck, and hands to achieve long-lasting skin improvements. With minimal downtime, this treatment offers a safe and effective way to restore a youthful, refreshed appearance.
How Does CO2 Laser Work?
The CO2 laser uses controlled pulses of light to remove the top layer of damaged skin, promoting new skin growth. The Alma Hybrid® system enhances the procedure by combining CO2 and 1570 nm lasers, targeting deeper skin layers to stimulate collagen and elastin production. This combination allows for a more comprehensive treatment, addressing both surface imperfections and deeper tissue concerns. The procedure typically lasts 1-2 hours and involves little downtime, making it a convenient option for skin resurfacing. With its ability to treat various skin concerns, the CO2 laser provides both immediate and long-term improvements.
Benefits of CO2 Laser
Deep Wrinkle Reduction
The CO2 laser effectively targets and reduces the appearance of deep wrinkles and fine lines, giving your skin a smoother, more youthful look.
Scar and Pigmentation Improvement
This treatment minimizes the appearance of acne scars, surgical scars, and hyperpigmentation, leading to a more even, radiant skin tone.
Skin Texture Enhancement
The CO2 laser improves overall skin texture by removing damaged skin layers and promoting the growth of fresh, new skin cells, resulting in smoother, softer skin.
Long-Lasting Results
Results from CO2 laser treatments can last for years, especially with consistent skincare and sun protection, making it a long-term solution for skin rejuvenation.
Minimal Downtime
While there is some recovery time required, the Alma Hybrid® technology offers significantly less downtime compared to more invasive procedures, with faster healing and improved comfort.
Collagen Stimulation for Firmer Skin
By stimulating collagen production, the CO2 laser helps firm and tighten the skin over time, further enhancing the youthful appearance and improving skin elasticity.
