Is CO2RE Fractional Laser Resurfacing Right for You?
Ideal candidates for this treatment are individuals with sun-damaged, aging skin, irregular pigmentation, wrinkles, sagging, or other skin conditions that may benefit. It's crucial to understand the associated risks, costs, and time required for optimal results while maintaining realistic expectations.
Important Considerations:
Not Suitable for Skin of Color: CO2RE is not recommended for individuals with pigmented skin, as it may lead to prolonged healing and potential hyperpigmentation (up to 30% occurrence). Darker skin tones may require a series of gentler treatments rather than a single session.
Avoid During Pregnancy: Pregnant women and those treated with isotretinoin (Accutane) within the last 6 months should avoid this procedure.
Conditions Affecting Healing: Inform your physician about any conditions causing delayed or abnormal healing, a history of cold sores, or herpes virus during the pre-treatment stage to prevent complications.
Ensure you're well-informed before deciding on CO2RE Fractional Laser Resurfacing. Consult with your physician for personalized advice based on your unique skin characteristics and health history.

How does CO2RE Work?
CO2RE, powered by Candela, employs advanced Carbon Dioxide Fractional Laser technology to precisely remove skin layers. This fractionated method targets "age spots," fine lines, wrinkles, scars, uneven coloration, skin laxity, textural irregularities, dull tone, and thinned collagen layers on the face, neck, and chest.

What results can I anticipate?
Anticipate a remarkable reduction in sun-damaged skin components – from "age spots" to fine lines, wrinkles, scarring, uneven coloration, skin laxity, textural irregularities, dull tone, and thin collagen layers. Results continue improving for up to 6 months with proper skin care and limited sun exposure. In some cases, noticeable changes may extend to the 6th or even 9th month, influenced by age, aftercare routine, and smoking history.

What are the risks and side effects?
While the CO2RE treatment offers transformative results, it comes with a notable downtime. The healing process, ranging from 7 to 14 days, involves significant redness, crusting, dryness, and peeling. This may temporarily limit social and work activities, but remote work is feasible after the initial days. At My Family Doc, we prioritize your comfort, providing full facial anesthesia to minimize any potential pain during and post-procedure. Though rare, potential side effects like skin wounds, infection, scarring, and pigment variations will be thoroughly discussed with you by our medical team before treatment.

What can I expect in terms of appearance and sensation post-treatment?
Following the procedure, expect a day of rest and then adhere to detailed instructions for optimal healing. We'll monitor your progress on days 1-3 after treatment. By the 7th day, makeup application is usually permissible, but expect pink, sensitive skin for 1-3 months. It's crucial to follow your provider's instructions diligently, including a strict skincare routine and sun avoidance for 6 months post-treatment. Failure to do so may compromise results or lead to side effects. As your skin continues to age, maintaining results involves a healthy skincare routine, cosmeceutical products, medical-grade facials, and additional procedures as advised by your provider.

Is there an alternative method to achieve a similar outcome?
Consider alternatives like photodynamic photorejuvenation (utilizing Levulan with IPL), Fraxel laser, E3 (Ematrix with Sublime and IPL), or different brands of C02 Laser resurfacing. While other treatments exist, achieving a comparable overall effect with a single session is rare. Combining the mentioned alternatives with fillers or tissue-tightening devices may be necessary to attain similar results.

Is it possible to combine this with additional treatments?
CO2RE can be combined with other treatments, although different treatments cannot be performed in the same area(s) on the same day. Many individuals choose to complement their CO2RE treatment with Wrinkle Relaxers like BOTOX Cosmetic, Dysport, or Xeomin to diminish wrinkles caused by muscle contraction. Additionally, Dermal Fillers such as Restylane, Restylane Lyft, Juvederm, and Belotero can be used to add volume to areas like the cheeks, nasolabial folds, lower eyelids, and lips. It's worth noting that we may recommend botulinum toxin two weeks before the CO2RE treatment to enhance its effects on movement-related wrinkles, but typically, we wait one month before or after performing fillers.
