Laser resurfacing with CO2 laser is a treatment that not only effectively treats acne scars and skin irregularities, but also layers of damaged skin and smoothes wrinkles. This procedure would achieve more youthful look and fresh appearance for your face and would also clear up most of the acne scars.
During laser resurfacing treatment, the laser is used to remove layers of damaged and wrinkled skin so that new, smoother, and more vibrant looking skin can form.
The surgery is performed under general anaesthetic and it takes 1 hour.
AFTER LASER RESURFACING WITH CO2 LASER
In general, the wounded area will be pink, tender, and swollen for at least several days.
You will be advised on the aftercare (incl. cold packs) and you will be given anti-inflammatory tablets to reduce the swelling. The redness gradually lightens to pink, and then to a lighter, more natural colour. Make-up can be applied approximately 10-14 days after the procedure to cover-up the redness.
With the surgery performed by laser you should be aware of the fact that you should avoid the direct Sun for the following 2-3 months after the surgery as this could cause hyperpigmentation on the parts of the skin where the surgery was performed. It is necessary to protect your skin with cream with high SPF (Sun protection factor).
