|  Chemical Peels | LASER Surgery LASER Surgery The Carbon Dioxide Laser can safely remove lines, scars, and inconsistencies, leaving your skin smooth and soft, and you looking your best. How Does the CO2 Laser Work? The Laser offers important advantages over traditional treatments for skin resurfacing. CO2 Laser energy is absorbed by water. And because your skin contains approximately 70% water, the Laser beam actually vaporizes the top layer of skin, or epidermis, and causes the contraction of the papillary dermis, or second skin layer. The combined effect creates a smoother, tighter skin surface. What Skin Conditions Benefit from the CO2 Laser?
The use of anesthetics should eliminate pain or discomfort during the procedure. A local anesthetic with mild intravenous sedation is often sufficient for the Laser procedure, but treatment of the full face may require a general anesthetic. How About the Cost? The cost of the Laser procedure depends on the area or areas of the face that are treated. The anesthesia charge will vary, depending on the type of anesthesia selected, local or general. |
