Laser Skin Resurfacing With Co2Re
We offer Co2Re Laser Skin Resurfacing treatments from our clinic in Glasgow.
Laser skin resurfacing is a procedure designed to improve the appearance and function of the skin. It is normally used to treat signs of sun damage or scarring, especially old acne scars.
The treatment works by burning away the top layers of the skin, resulting in a healing responses.
When the skin heals, it normally heals itself to a more youthful and healthy condition. When laser skin resurfacing was initially developed the entire surface of the skin was removed. This typically resulted in a long healing period and a high risk of side effects, which caused laser resurfacing to fall out of fashion for a while. More recently the technology has progressed with the introduction of ‘fractional’ technology. Fractional technology allows us to treat only a ‘fraction’ of the skin with the use of microscopic laser beams which leaves behind some normal tissue. Leaving behind this normal tissue allows the skin to heal much more rapidly, reducing the downtime and the risk of side effects whilst still achieving excellent results in most cases.
The signs of sun damage that are usually improved include:
