Frequently Asked Questions
Am I a good candidate?
If you have stubborn acne scars, uneven skin tone, crow’s feet or sagging skin, the laser skin resurfacing treatment is recommended for you. It rejuvenates your facial complexion by removing the top layer of skin. Signs of aging like wrinkles, fine lines and sun spots can also be reduced resulting in a more youthful glow.
Dermatologists like Dr. Daniel Reichner also recommends this procedure if your skin is unresponsive following a bad facelift. However, if you have intense breakouts, open wounds or existing infections, you may be advised not to undergo this treatment.
What Is a Laser Skin Resurfacing Treatment Like?
The procedure starts with the application of a topical anesthetic to numb the target area 30-45 minutes before the laser treatment. Then, Dr. Reichner will employ the MiXto SX® to deliver uniform laser pulses in a scanning pattern across the target areas. The pulses of light energy removes the thin layer of damaged skin on the surface, activating your body’s natural healing process. It boosts collagen production and ultimately leads to skin renewal.
The actual laser treatment only takes 15-20 minutes depending on the extent of the target area.
What is the Recovery Process?
Unlike traditional laser treatments, the Mixto CO2 fractional laser procedure is minimally invasive, which gives patients quicker recovery times. It requires lesser downtime and patients can go back to their normal routines after a week. Minor complications like redness, tenderness and swelling may occur.
Stay away from prolonged exposure to the sun, and regularly apply sunscreen. To ease the swelling and discomfort, you can apply ice packs or cold compresses to the treated area.
What is the Cost of Fractional CO2 Laser Resurfacing Treatments?
The total cost of your skin resurfacing treatments will vary depending on the amount of work done and number of sessions required. The overall price can include clinic fees and other miscellaneous rates.
