Fractional eCO2^™

Unlike earlier ablative lasers, eCO2 causes much less skin damage, so that treatments are less painful and heal more quickly. Prior to the procedure, the patient's skin is thoroughly cleansed and a topical anesthetic is applied the target area to minimize any discomfort.

The results of treatment are both immediate and progressive. With eCO2 , significant results can be achieved in just a single treatment. After initial swelling and redness has subsided, patients will typically see significantly improved skin tone, color and texture after the first treatment.

Yes, however patients with darker skin tones may be at an increased risk for pigmentation changes regardless of which resurfacing method is used. However, using a preparatory skincare regimen as advised by the Doctor may reduce the risk.

The recovery time is limited and easy to bear. Patients may return to normal daily activities within a day or two. Right after an eCO2 Resurfacing treatment, patients typically experience moderate swelling and some discomfort, which can be controlled with medication and ice packs.

Immediately after treatment, you will observe a certain degree of redness and swelling. Other side effects may include a slight itching, dryness, flaking or exfoliation of the skin, and a tanned look.
