What is carbon dioxide laser resurfacing?
Carbon dioxide laser resurfacing is used to treat a variety of skin conditions. Carbon dioxide lasers very precisely remove thin layers of skin with minimal heat damage to the surrounding structures.
Carbon dioxide lasers treat:
- Wrinkles (rhytides).
- Photodamage.
- Scars.
- Warts.
- Linear epidermal nevi (birthmarks).
- Rhinophyma (enlarged oil glands on the nose).
The lasers have been in use for many years to treat non-cancerous (benign) and cancerous (malignant) skin conditions. A new generation of carbon dioxide lasers uses very short-pulsed light energy (ultrapulsed) or continuous light beams that are delivered in a scanning pattern.
