FAQs

Is CO2 laser safe for all skin types?

CO2 laser is most suitable for fair to medium skin tones. Darker skin types require specialized protocols to minimize the risk of pigmentation changes. A consultation is required to determine candidacy.

Is the treatment painful?

A topical numbing cream is applied beforehand to ensure comfort. Patients typically feel warmth or a prickling sensation during treatment, and mild burning or tightness afterward, similar to a sunburn. These sessions can be paired with PRP/PRF, VAMP, and/or medical grade skincare to amplify results and accelerate healing.

How many sessions will I need?

Many patients see excellent results from a single treatment. However, depending on the severity of skin concerns, a series of treatments spaced months apart may be recommended for optimal results.

Are the results permanent?

While the results are long-lasting, natural aging and sun exposure will continue to affect the ski over time. Maintenance treatments every 1-2 years can help preserve your results.
