What to Expect

Your CO2 Laser Journey at Astra Medicare

​A CO2 laser is a powerful medical treatment, and your safety and comfort are our top priorities. Here’s how we make sure your journey is smooth and successful.
​
  1. Your In-Depth Consultation: This is a crucial first step. You will meet with one of our highly trained laser specialists to discuss your skin concerns and goals. We will carefully assess your skin type and medical history to confirm that a CO2 laser is a safe and effective option for you.
  2. Preparing for Your Treatment: We will provide you with a full set of pre-treatment instructions. This usually involves applying a topical numbing cream to your face about an hour before your appointment to ensure you are comfortable.
  3. The Laser Session: During the treatment, our technician will use the CO2 laser handpiece to deliver precise pulses of light energy to your skin. The laser removes thin layers of damaged skin. Most sessions for the full face take between 30 to 60 minutes.
  4. The Healing Process (Downtime): After the treatment, your skin will be red and feel like a sunburn. This is a normal part of the healing process. You will need to plan for about 7 to 10 days of social downtime. During this time, it's very important to follow our aftercare instructions, which include keeping the skin moisturized and protected from the sun. As your skin heals, the redness will fade, and you'll begin to see your fresh, new skin emerge.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How long does it take to see results from a CO2 laser?
You'll start to see improvements in your skin as soon as the initial healing phase (the first 7-10 days) is over. However, the most significant results appear over the next 3 to 6 months as your skin continues to produce new collagen. The results are long-lasting.
Does a CO2 laser treatment hurt?
We take every step to make you comfortable. A strong topical numbing cream is applied before the treatment to minimize discomfort. Most clients describe the sensation as a feeling of heat or a "pins and needles" feeling during the procedure.
How many treatments will I need?
For most people, one CO2 laser treatment is enough to see dramatic results. For those with very deep wrinkles or severe acne scarring, a second treatment might be recommended after a year or so.
What is the downtime like?
You should plan for about a week to ten days of downtime at home. Your skin will be red, swollen, and will peel as it heals. It is extremely important to avoid sun exposure during this period. We will give you detailed instructions on how to care for your skin to ensure a smooth recovery.
Is the CO2 laser safe for all skin types?
The CO2 laser is safest for individuals with lighter skin tones (Fitzpatrick skin types I-III). It is generally not recommended for darker skin tones due to a higher risk of pigmentation changes. We will determine if you are a good candidate during your mandatory consultation.
