SmartSkin CO2 - Dermatology & Laser Center of Charleston

Ablative Fractional Skin Resurfacing with SmartSkin CO2 is the latest in laser skin renewal. This treatment will rejuvenate and restore your skin, giving it a more youthful and smoother look. Your provider will use the SmartSkin laser to apply a series of tiny pulses of laser energy to your skin. As these microscopic holes heal, new younger-looking skin is revealed and collagen is stimulated deep within your skin.

During your complimentary consultation, all information and instructions will be given.

After The Procedure

Downtime:

Because SmartSkin CO2 has the distinct ability to deliver micro pulses of energy, you will experience a significantly shorter recovery time than with fully ablative lasers. Each tiny hole will quickly heal and in 3-10 days, you will be able to apply makeup on the treated surface and return to your normal lifestyle.

Side Effects:

Immediately after the treatment, your skin will feel warm and appear to be sunburned. You may see some redness and swelling which is completely normal.

After Results:

Results will depend on your course of treatment. A more aggressive treatment regimen will give more significant results, although you will have a longer recovery time. The treatment regimen will be discussed with your provider prior.
