C02RE Laser Resurfacing in Salem, OR & Portland

Q: What skin conditions can CO2 laser resurfacing treat?

CO2 laser resurfacing can address acne scars, hyperpigmentation, dark spots, fine lines and wrinkles, uneven skin texture, and drooping lower eyelids.

Q: How long does a CO2 laser resurfacing treatment session take?

CO2 laser resurfacing can take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the treatment area and the results you’re looking for.

Q: Will I need repeated treatments?

It depends on the level of intensity. The lower levels of intensity, which can be performed by an aesthetician, may need to have repeat treatments throughout the year to maintain results. The most intense setting, performed by a Physcians Assistant, can produce more dramatic results that can last for years.

There are a number of laser skin resurfacing options available at Neaman Medi Spa, but C02 laser resurfacing is one of the most effective and offers some of the most stunning results.

WHAT IS C02RE LASER RESURFACING?

The CO2RE laser from Candela is a fractionated laser that uses short, pulsed energy or a continuous beam in a scanning pattern to remove specific skin layers with minimal damage to surrounding areas. With CO2RE, our providers are able to target the surface, middle and deeper layers of skin with precision.

The result is a brighter, smoother, younger-looking skin texture, reduced scarring, blemishes, age spots, and sun damage on the face, chest, hands and décolletage. CO2RE can also tighten the skin, even pigment differences, and improve acne, large pores, and crepey skin around the lower eyelids

WHAT AESTHETIC CONCERNS CAN BE TREATED WITH CO2RE LASER RESURFACING?

As we age, collagen production slows. Collagen is synthesized by the body and keeps the skin taut, plump, and smooth. Sun exposure further intensifies collagen degradation. However, the CO2RE laser is used to reverse the signs of aging by stopping, minimizing, and even reversing collagen breakdown.

CO2RE Laser Resurfacing is a fantastic non-surgical option to address the following skin issues:

Acne scars, dull skin, poor uneven skin texture
Brown spots and hyperpigmentation
Fine lines and wrinkles
Scarring from acne and other factors
Rough or uneven skin texture
Drooping lower eyelids

HOW DOES CO2RE LASER RESURFACING WORK?

The CO2RE laser works by resurfacing the top layer of skin and then stimulating collagen production within the underlying layers. The CO2RE laser by Candela is so safe that it can be used to target small, key areas or the entire face.
The result is tighter skin, more elasticity, and vastly diminished skin irregularities, including lines, wrinkles, scars, and discoloration. Just one treatment can last up to ten years. CO2RE laser resurfacing is so advanced and effective that it can delay the need for more advanced options like surgical facelifts.

Our CO2RE procedure take less than 60 minutes with light IV sedation. Treatment depths can vary greatly, and the laser settings are fully adjustable. During your CO2RE facial rejuvenation procedure, CO2 laser energy is applied to the skin in the desired treatment area. The CO2RE system resurfaces skin cells to boost the production of collagen fibers in small areas of your skin that are strategically spaced apart. The resurfaced areas are surrounded by healthy tissue, which helps to speed the healing process.

The Candela CO2RE laser includes specialized monitoring equipment to ensure the laser energy is applied precisely to achieve optimal results. A variety of treatment modes are available allowing your treatment to be tailored to your individual needs.

AM I A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR CO2RE LASER RESURFACING?

This treatment is appropriate for patients who have specific skin concerns they would like to address, including sun damage, aging symptoms, and visible scarring. CO2RE laser treatments are ideal for patients who meet the following requirements

Are generally in good health
Do not have active acne breakouts
Signs of aging (lines and sagging) are moderate, not severe
Skin tone is not dark (resurfacing can cause hyperpigmentation for patients with dark skin)
Have not had a recent chemical peel or dermabrasion procedure

REMOVING BROWN SPOTS AND MELASMA WITH CO2RE LASER RESURFACING

“Brown spots” are a common complaint and can include hyperpigmentation and melasma. Hyperpigmentation is any darkening of the skin and can occur from problems like eczema or psoriasis, too. Melasma is a type of hyperpigmentation most common in women and can be triggered by sun exposure or hormone changes. CO2RE laser resurfacing can be an effective treatment for most types of brown spots.

Absolutely the best place and I will always return. Worth every penny, I love my face even more!
