CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing
What is CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing?
Skin imperfections like dark spots, scars or stretch marks can, in many cases, be significantly improved by undergoing laser skin resurfacing. CO2 laser skin resurfacing works by penetrating outer layers of skin and warming underlying layers to ultimately improve healing. In some cases, results can be quite impressive with refreshing skin tone, improvement in fine lines, and decrease in pore size.

What Are the Dark Spots On My Skin?
Dark spots on your skin (also known as liver or age spots) are properly referred to as hyperpigmentation. These spots usually begin to appear in middle age and are often caused by prolonged exposure to the sun or excessive use of tanning beds. Though they are generally harmless, many people get treatments to deal with them for cosmetic purposes.

Causes of Hyperpigmentation
- Exposure to UV light: Either from the sun or from artificial lights such as tanning beds.
- Skin conditions: Hyperpigmentation can appear as a result of certain skin conditions like melasma, post-inflamatory hyperpigmentation or even less common ailments like linea negra or Riehl's melanosis.
- Other causes: A wide variety of other conditions can occasionally induce hyperpigmentation like pregnancy, liver disease or excessive iron intake. Because diagnosis can be tricky, a preliminary consultation also helps determine the best course of treatment depending on your specific situation.
What Happens During CO2 Laser Skin Treatments?
A CO2 Laser treatment is a kind of treatment know as ablative treatment. This means the laser removes the outer layers of damaged skin and, because the laser’s light wave length is carefully controlled, the underlying skin tissue goes largely untouched. Recovery time is usually in the neighborhood of two weeks.
