What Is CO2RE Laser Skin Resurfacing?

CO2RE laser skin resurfacing is an advanced fractional laser treatment that targets both the surface and deeper layers of your skin. This innovative procedure uses carbon dioxide (CO2) laser energy to remove damaged skin cells and stimulate the body's natural healing process, promoting the production of new collagen and healthy skin tissue. The CO2RE system allows for precise control, enabling customized treatments that address a variety of skin concerns, such as wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, and pigmentation issues. The result is a rejuvenated complexion with improved texture, tone, and overall appearance.

Benefits of Laser Skin Resurfacing

Undergoing CO2RE laser skin resurfacing offers numerous advantages for those seeking to revitalize their skin:

  • Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles: The treatment effectively diminishes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, especially around the eyes and mouth.
  • Improves Skin Texture and Tone: By removing damaged skin layers, it enhances skin smoothness and evens out skin tone.
  • Minimizes Scars and Acne Marks: The laser targets scarred tissue, reducing the visibility of acne scars and other imperfections.
  • Treats Sun Damage and Age Spots: It addresses pigmentation issues like sunspots and age spots, resulting in a more uniform complexion.
  • Stimulates Collagen Production: The procedure promotes new collagen growth, which contributes to firmer, more youthful-looking skin.
  • Customizable Treatment: CO2RE allows for tailored treatments to meet your specific skin concerns and desired outcomes.
  • Long-Lasting Results: The improvements achieved can be long-lasting when combined with proper skin care and sun protection.
  • Minimal Downtime: Compared to traditional resurfacing methods, CO2RE offers a quicker recovery period.

What to Expect During Your Laser Skin Resurfacing Treatment in New York City

When you visit Shafer Clinic for CO2RE laser skin resurfacing in NYC, your experience begins with a comprehensive consultation. Dr. Shafer will assess your skin condition, discuss your concerns, and determine the most suitable treatment plan. On the day of the procedure, a topical anesthetic may be applied to ensure your comfort. The CO2RE laser handpiece is then gently guided over the treatment area, delivering precise laser energy to remove damaged skin layers and stimulate healing. The CO2RE has four treatment modes, each designed to suit different levels of skin treatment:

CO2RE Light

Used to treat minor imperfections, fine lines and wrinkles, and enlarged pores by performing superficial fractional skin resurfacing.

CO2RE Mid

Used primarily for pigment correction by targeting laser energy deeper into the middle surfaces of the skin. Also used to treat acne scars and pronounced wrinkles.

CO2RE Deep

Used to treat perioral wrinkles (wrinkles around the mouth) and other prominent wrinkles, loose skin, acne, surgical and burn scars, and stretch marks by targeting the deeper skin layers.

CO2RE Fusion

Used to rejuvenate all skin layers simultaneously by employing a combination of specific intensities and resurfacing depths. This option is also excellent for the treatment of perioral wrinkles.

The treatment typically takes between 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the area being treated. You may feel a warm or prickling sensation during the procedure. After the treatment, your skin may appear red and feel similar to a sunburn, which is a normal part of the healing process. Dr. Shafer will provide detailed post-care instructions to promote optimal healing and results, including guidance on skincare, sun protection, and any necessary follow-up appointments.

Who Is an Ideal Candidate for CO2RE Laser Skin Resurfacing in NYC?

Ideal candidates for CO2RE laser skin resurfacing are individuals seeking to improve the appearance of aging skin, fine lines, wrinkles, scars, or pigmentation issues. If you're in good overall health, have realistic expectations, and are looking for a non-surgical solution to rejuvenate your skin, this treatment may be suitable for you. It's important to note that individuals with certain skin types or conditions may require a customized approach. A consultation with Dr. Shafer will help determine if CO2RE laser skin resurfacing is the right option based on your skin type, concerns, and goals.
