Smooth Wrinkles and Scars with Long-Lasting Results

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 CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing in St. Louis 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 Solutions™ med spa located in St. Louis for more information on the potential side effects of this procedure.

What aftercare do I need for CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing?
