The CO2RE is a laser system designed to do skin resurfacing and facial rejuvenation. This technology works to reduce the signs of skin aging and alleviate the appearance of wrinkles, acne scars, blemishes or scars.
It encourages the production of collagen and healthy new skin cells and has the ability to treat superficial and deep skin layers simultaneously. The CO2RE treatment is lighter, faster and offers more versatility for skin resurfacing when compared to traditional ablation and provides maximum precision and control when it comes to the intensity of treatment, pattern and depth of ablation.
The CO2RE differs by using two types of laser beams that penetrate to different depths — simultaneously. The CO2RE has up to 7 treatment modes to treat a variety of skin issues. The CO2RE offers less discomfort and dramatic results after just one session. Ideal candidates for CO2RE are in their 30s or older with skin damage caused by exposure to the sun, aging, discoloration and other skin imperfections.
It is ideal for anyone seeking younger-looking skin without the long downtime associated with conventional resurfacing procedures. You can expect some moderate discomfort during the treatment, but the anesthetic applied prior to the procedure typically makes any discomfort very tolerable.
For more aggressive, higher powered treatments, your physician may decide to use a subcutaneous anesthetic. Over-the-counter pain relievers may be taken in the days after the procedure to alleviate any residual discomfort. Your provider will talk to you about your medical and skin history to minimize the potential for any negative reactions.
