The CO2 laser at Touch MedSpa is an ablative treatment, which means it removes the top layer of dead and damaged skin cells to reveal the fresh, glowing skin beneath.
It is highly effective in addressing deep-set concerns like wrinkles, brown spots, and more. We can also customize the application of the CO2 technology from mild to aggressive, depending on your needs!
Our fractional CO2 laser improves:
- Deep wrinkles & lines
- Acne, injury, & surgical scars
- Skin laxity
- Uneven skin tone & texture
- Sun damage
- Enlarged pores
- Stretch marks
- Age spots
Along with its versatility, the CO2 laser is also a favorite because it can treat so many areas, like:
- Lower eyelids
- Upper eyelids
- Around the mouth
- Forehead
- Cheeks
- Neck
- Chest
- Shoulders
- Hands
But what should you expect from CO2 laser recovery in North Myrtle Beach?
The Recovery Process
The depth of treatment will vary for each individual. The more superficial treatments heal with minimal downtime (24 hours). Medium-depth treatments typically require 3 to 7 days of social downtime while your skin heals.
For deep laser resurfacing, most often around the mouth, you may require up to 14 days of social downtime.
Some aftercare tips:
These tips can help you during the healing process:
- Avoid rubbing, scratching, or picking at your skin.
- Cleanse the treated skin as instructed by your doctor, usually 2-5 times a day with saline or a vinegar solution.
- Apply a thin layer of moisturizer or antibacterial ointment twice a day, as recommended by your doctor.
- Apply an ice pack wrapped in a clean, soft towel to the area as needed during the first 24-48 hours.
- Sleep with your head elevated to help with swelling.
- Once your skin heals, wear clothing that covers the area or apply sunscreen formulated for sensitive skin every time you go outdoors.
