Fractional CO2 Laser Resurfacing
Serving Kansas City & Lee's Summit, Missouri
Fractional CO2 laser resurfacing is a new technology which can successfully treat a variety of skin conditions such as fine wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, pore size, and overall skin health and appearance.
Traditional ablative CO2 laser treatments, though effective, can have significant disadvantages like a prolonged downtime, persistent redness, possibility of scarring and hypopigmentation. In contrast, the fractional CO2 laser treatments have most of the advantages of CO2 laser but significantly less pain and downtime.
If you want to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, tighten your skin, reduce pore size and improve the overall look of your skin Fractional CO2 laser resurfacing is perfect for you! This procedure does a great job of improving your skin with very minimal down time!
Before you have the procedure done, you will meet with Kansas City skin care specialist and licensed esthetician, Keri Eichhorn. Keri will get you set up with some pre-procedure skin care products that will prepare your skin to insure you receive the best possible results.
The actual procedure is done by Dr. Chhatre in our office at Summit Plastic Surgery and MedSpa without the need for anesthesia. A topical anesthetic is applied to the skin for approximately 60 minutes prior to the procedure. This does an excellent job of numbing the skin to make this procedure comfortable and almost painless. The actual procedure time is around 30 minutes.
After the procedure you can expect to have some redness and swelling for a few days. It is safe to wear a mineral makeup after 3 days. You will also be seen back in the office after 3 days for a check up and to meet with licensed esthetician Keri Eichhorn to talk about post procedure products that will need to be used to maintain the results, this is also when you can look at some mineral makeup.
