Laser on the skin? Isn't it dangerous? We understand that it may sound a little scary, but the truth is that laser treatments are some of the most effective methods for treating signs of aging. At Estetikcentrum, we use fractional CO2 laser to treat everything from acne scars to fine lines and sun-damaged skin.
CO2 laser treatment is an advanced way to help the skin repair and rejuvenate itself. Using thin, focused laser beams, microscopic holes (or channels) are created in the skin. It may sound dramatic, but it is both controlled and safe. If you want to try something new and take a step away from classic facial treatments and creams – then this is a guide for you. Stay tuned and we will tell you more!
How our CO2 laser works
At Estetikcentrum we are proud to be able to offer CO2 laser treatment. It is a very advanced and modern technology that can help the skin repair and rejuvenate itself. When these small channels or holes are created in the skin with the laser, they kick-start the body's natural healing. This also means that the body's own production of collagen increases and the elastin gets an improved quality. When this happens, the skin builds new, healthy tissue again. The result is more even skin tone, reduced scars and a firmer feeling.
The treatment is well suited for those who want to treat:
- Acne scars
- Stretch marks
- Uneven pigmentation
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Scar tissue
Step-by-step guide to CO2 laser
Consultation
At Estetikcentrum, we always start with you meeting with one of our skilled skin therapists for a consultation. Together, you will go over your skin type, your goals, and what results you can expect.
Treatment
When it's time for treatment, we use an FDA-approved machine that provides excellent clinical results. A numbing cream may also be used to make the treatment as comfortable as possible.
Aftercare and recovery
Themselves the laser treatment takes about 30 minutes depending on the area being treated and you can return to your daily life immediately. However, it is important to remember that there is a healing process and a phase where the skin may feel warm, swollen and a little red. For the vast majority of people, this has passed after a few days.
common questions and answers
Does CO2 laser hurt?
Thanks to the anesthesia, most people only experience some discomfort, but it is far from painful.
When do you see the results?
The results will only become apparent a couple of weeks after your treatment, but your results often last for several months.
Do you need more than one treatment?
Many people see results after just one treatment, but for more extensive changes we recommend a course of several sessions.
