eCO2 Laser
What Is the eCO2 Laser? eCO2 is a fractionated CO2 laser system. This ablative laser can deliver significant skin resurfacing outcomes for patients seeking to improve wrinkles, scars, pigmentation and many other skin issues. It is a newer and safer improvement on traditional CO2 laser skin resurfacing.
What does eCO2 Laser Resurfacing mean?
A new dermatological treatment called ECO2 Resurfacing uses a laser to heat up small areas of the skin and remove other small areas of dermal and epidermal tissue. The process makes the skin feel firmer, smoother, and younger, and it also makes age spots and other pigmentation problems look better.
In what way does eCO2 Laser Resurfacing work?
Fractionated laser beams are used in the treatment to heat and destroy only certain parts of tissue. This causes skin cells to make more collagen and extracellular matrix. Skin cells can renew themselves more easily when there is more collagen and extracellular tissue. This makes the skin firmer and more flexible.

People with scars from burns, surgery, or acne can also get this treatment. So can people whose skin is sun-damaged, uneven, or has problems with its colour.
Where on the body does eCO2 Resurfacing work?
Many times, eCO2 Resurfacing is used on the face to get rid of lines, acne scars, and damage from the sun. But it has also been used to treat scars and uneven skin tone in other places on the body, like the upper chest, arms, and legs.
What is the recovery process?
After treatment, patients generally feel some pain in the area that was treated, which is usually a little swollen. The skin that was treated will be red or pink for a few days afterward, making it look like it was burned. After treatment, it will bleed and drain for about 24 hours. After that, it will look dry and may begin to peel. These problems get better in 72 hours, and most people can go back to their normal lives about five days after treatment.
What should I avoid after CO2 laser?
DO NOT undergo waxing, micro-dermabrasion, exfoliations or light peels over the area for 3 months from the day of treatment. Avoid sun exposure or tanning for at least 4 weeks after treatment. Once your skin has healed and you have followed up with doctor and been given the go ahead, you may begin to wear makeup.
