Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about CO2 Laser Treatment.
CO2 Laser Treatment ablates damaged outer skin while heating deeper layers to stimulate collagen. This process smooths wrinkles, tightens skin, and improves texture gradually as new collagen forms over several months.
Downtime varies by intensity but typically includes 5–14 days of redness, swelling, and peeling. Most patients plan a one- to two-week recovery before resuming normal social activities and makeup application.
Most patients experience discomfort rather than severe pain. Topical numbing plus oral or local anesthetic options help during treatment. Dr. Perlman will review anesthesia choices and comfort measures during consultation.
Many patients see meaningful results after a single deep resurfacing session, but milder treatments may require two to three sessions spaced months apart depending on goals and skin condition.
CO2 can be effective for many skin types but carries higher pigment-change risk for darker tones. A tailored approach, cautious settings, and pre/post treatment protocols reduce risks and ensure safer outcomes.
Pre-treatment includes sun protection, stopping certain medications, and skin prep. Post-care involves gentle cleansing, ointment, strict sun avoidance, and follow-up visits to ensure proper healing and minimize complications.
