The CO2 laser is a proven tool for skin rejuvenation. It is also excellent for improving scars from surgery, trauma or conditions like acne. Despite the downtime associated with the treatment (on the average a week for recovery), it remains very popular because of the result it produces.

As with all treatments for skin resurfacing, having suitable skincare routine in place, preparing the skin for treatment and post treatment care are every bit as important as the laser treatment.
