CO2 laser is a type of laser therapy that uses a carbon dioxide laser to remove layers of skin, revealing smoother, less wrinkled skin. It is commonly used for:
1. Skin resurfacing and rejuvenation
2. Wrinkle reduction and fine lines
3. Acne scars and hyperpigmentation
4. Facial scars and blemishes
5. Skin tightening and firming
6. Removal of benign skin growths and lesions
CO2 laser therapy is a non-invasive procedure that offers several benefits, including:
1. Improved skin texture and tone
2. Reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
3. Enhanced collagen production
4. Minimal downtime and rapid recovery
5. Long-lasting results
However, it's important to note that CO2 laser therapy may also have some potential side effects and risks, such as:
1. Redness and swelling
2. Itching or burning sensation
3. Infection or scarring (rare)
4. Changes in skin pigmentation (rare)
