C02 in St. Louis

CO2 is a Carbon Dioxide laser that has been used for more that 25 years in the Aesthetic Industry for treatment of skin conditions such as fine and coarse wrinkles, scars, uneven pigment and dilated pores. When the CO2 beam of light comes in contact with the epidermis, it heats and vaporizes the skin. This instantly removes the superficial layers of the skin, improves scars and wrinkles, and smoothes out the surface of the skin. Skin remodeling occurs with new skin and collagen growth.

 

This laser peel results in the improved appearance of sun-damaged and aging skin. It can also improve some skin blemishes and superficial scars. Improvements from a CO2 laser treatment can be seen for many years after treatment. Results can be prolonged with diligent use of SPF, avoided sun exposure and with the correct at-home skincare.

CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing: A Breakthrough in Skin Rejuvenation

The MiXto Fractional CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing stands out for its innovative approach to skin resurfacing. By dividing the skin into quadrants, this system uses a non-ablative laser to target beams in controlled intervals, minimizing discomfort for the patient and accelerating the recovery process. The ability to control heat levels and penetrate deep layers of the skin allows practitioners to tailor the treatment to individual needs while achieving aesthetic goals.

Benefits of CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing Treatments

CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing delivers a wide range of benefits that contribute to a noticeable and immediate improvement in treatment areas. Some key advantages of MiXto Fractional CO2 treatments include:

 

  • Immediate Improvement: Experience visible changes in the treated area after a single session, taking years off your appearance.
  • Skin Tightening and Pore Reduction: Achieve firmer, smoother skin with reduced pore size.
  • Wrinkle Smoothing: Address both fine and deep wrinkles for a more youthful look.
  • Skin Healing: Stimulate collagen production in the dermis, enhancing skin volume and moisture.
  • Scar and Spot Reduction: Eliminate acne scars, age spots, sunspots, and other skin imperfections.
  • Versatility: Treat various areas including the face, neck, chest, hands, and arms.

Best Treatment Areas for CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing

The versatility of the MiXto CO2 laser treatment makes it an excellent choice for treating multiple problem areas including the face, neck, chest, hands, and arms. Our experienced med spa practitioners at St. Louis Skin Solutions carefully assess each patient's unique needs to determine the most effective treatment plan for their skincare goals and needs.


While CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing is highly effective for some instances of wrinkling, our St. Louis Skin Solutions med spa practitioners ensure that patients are informed about alternative skin rejuvenation methods if they better suit their skin concerns.


CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing Procedure: Precision and Comfort

A topical anesthetic will be applied before your CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing procedure begins to ensure your ultimate comfort. A non-ablative laser is then applied to targeted deep skin layers with precise heat delivery without damaging the outer layers of the skin to promote deep dermal healing.


Most procedures typically last around 30 minutes. Most patients report that one to two sessions are sufficient for optimal results, making this an easy skincare addition to fit into busy schedules. CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing is completely customizable, ensuring that your facial laser treatment plan aligns with your unique skincare goals.

 

Recovery with CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing: Less Downtime, Lasting Results

 CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing treatments use non-ablative lasers to minimize the trauma to the skin, resulting in a shorter recovery period compared to traditional laser treatments. Patients may experience redness and skin tightening following the procedure with most symptoms subsiding within 3 to 7 days after treatment.

 

During recovery, applying moisturizer will aid in the healing process of the treated areas. Most patients recover within 7 to 10 days with ongoing skin volume, smoothness, and overall improvements continuing over the following weeks and months.

 

The results are truly transformative. Most patients observe tightened skin, reduced wrinkles, and improved overall texture as redness subsides. For those seeking a renewed appearance free from acne scars and pigmentations, CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing can be your long-lasting solution. As always, we encourage our patients to reach out to our St. Louis Skin Care Solutions med spa located in St. Louis for more information on the potential side effects of this procedure.

FAQ

What is a CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing treatment?
CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing is a swift and comfortable laser procedure designed to improve the overall appearance of your skin. Conducted in our med spa office in St. Louis, this treatment can be tailored to address specific skin conditions and achieve your desired appearance.
How does CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing work?
CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing treatments use a tiny non-ablative laser beam to treat specific, pinpointed areas of the skin to promote rapid healing. This rapid healing response stimulates collagen production, adding firmness and resilience to the skin, resulting in a voluminous and smooth appearance.
What is the difference between an ablative and a non-ablative laser?
Ablative and non-ablative lasers are two different treatments used to treat skin issues. Ablative lasers remove the top layer and deeper layers of the skin and prove highly effective in addressing severe skin concerns like deep wrinkles, scars, and specific pigmentation issues; however, the recovery period after ablative laser treatments is more prolonged and may result in discomfort during the recovery process.Non-ablative lasers stimulate collagen production without removing the top layer of the skin. Because non-ablative lasers leave the outer layer of the skin intact, these lasers are preferable for treating mild skin conditions like fine lines, mild wrinkles, and skin rejuvenation and require a short recovery time.
What areas of the body can be treated by CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing?
CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing is a versatile treatment option suitable for treating various areas from head to toe. While popular treatment areas include the face and neck, other treatment options include the decolletage, chest, abdomen, hands, and legs.
How many CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing treatments will I need?
Results vary from patient to patient, and your laser specialist at St. Louis Skin Solutions will personalize a treatment plan based on your specific needs. Combining CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing treatments with other procedures at our St. Louis med spa may further enhance the results of your treatment.
Will CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing be an uncomfortable treatment?
CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing treatments are considered a comfortable procedure for most patients. At St. Louis Skin Solutions, a medical spa located in St. Louis, we work to ensure your comfort for all of our medical spa procedures. A topical numbing cream is available to ensure a pleasant experience during your CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing treatment.
When should I expect results from a CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing treatment?
While some tightening may be noticeable immediately, the full benefits of CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing treatments will unfold during the 4 to 6 months following treatment as collagen stimulation begins. Collagen makes our skin smooth and voluminous; fine lines and wrinkles will start to smooth out as collagen is produced.
How long will it take to recover from CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing?
Complete healing of the treatment site typically occurs within a few days with most patients feeling comfortable enough to return to work and apply makeup within a day or two. Swelling may subside within several days after the treatment. Overall, recovery is relatively quick compared to traditional laser treatments.
What aftercare do I need for CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing?
Our providers will share specific aftercare instructions for each client, including skin care products and aftercare cleaning. We suggest to all clients to avoid direct sun exposure until treatment areas have been fully healed and to use sunscreen with high SPF to prevent sunburns, sun damage, and premature signs of aging to the skin.Transform your skin with CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing at St. Louis Skin Solutions, your trusted local med spa for laser treatment in St. Louis.

    I've visited St Louis Skin Solutions a number of times for various services including laser for scars, visible facial capillaries, botox and fillers. Most of these were my first time receiving the treatment so needless to say, I was nervous. They always do an excellent job and the injections have left me with zero bruising! I will continue to come back, and all the way from the deep urban city limits. Worth it.

    Dr. Miller and her entire team are wonderful. I’ve been thrilled with every treatment I’ve had, as well as the skincare products I now use at home. Because I’ve lost a lot of weight, I’ve been especially concerned about loose skin, and they’ve been able to help address this - and do so much more! I feel more confident than ever in my appearance.
