Traditional C02 Laser
SKIN REJUVENATION
Traditional C02 Laser improves on the condition of the skin for even tone, texture, and appearance.
Traditional C02 Laser targets skin issues like wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, and uneven pigmentation. Through the ablation of the outer skin layers, the laser initiates collagen production that causes the skin to become smoother and tighter.
C02 traditional procedures often result in some healing time, which is the period when the skin tissues are healing after the process takes place during this time.
Despite the longer recovery time associated with traditional C02 laser treatments, many patients find the results to be worth the temporary inconvenience. The skin often appears smoother, firmer, and more youthful following treatment, with continued improvements in texture and tone over the following months as collagen remodeling continues.

WHAT IS TRADITIONAL C02 LASER?
Traditional CO2 Laser is the type of skin rejuvenation that uses carbon dioxide laser to deal with various skin issues. These lasers deliver a beam of light that interacts with the water molecules within the skin cells, and for this reason, the targeted tissue is evaporated. The main purpose of Traditional C02 Laser treatments is to beautify the skin by improving its texture.
Traditional CO2 laser procedures are a well-known method for treating signs of ageing including wrinkles, fine lines, and loose skin. The laser’s ability to stimulate collagen production by the skin helps to tighten and firm the skin, resulting in a more youthful complexion. However, these treatments not only can decrease the sun damage, age spots, and uneven pigmentation but also results in a more even and luminous complexion appearance.
Traditional CO2 laser therapy is also used in treating scars which consist of acne scars and surgical scars. By laser specifically targeting the scar tissue the new cells of healthy skin are stimulated gradually diminishing the appearance of scars with time.
This treatment takes more time for recovery in comparison with that of the other non-ablative laser treatments. The skin can be observed as red, swollen, and sensitive after the treatment, which is when following the post-treatment care instructions well is critical for proper healing and best results.
Traditional carbon dioxide (CO2) laser treatments, in addition, is considered a standout option where skin structure and texture can be improved.

PROCEDURE
The C02 laser treatment is one of the most frequently performed procedures to tackle different skin problems which include wrinkles, scars, age spots, and pigmentation. Generally, it’s done under twilight sedation, which means that the patient remains comfortable.
In the CO2 laser treatment, a handpiece with a laser, which is placed on the exact indication area of the skin, is used. The tool is kept in place for the exact time needed to release energy in a very targeted manner. The process is then repeated for the remaining areas and then the next areas are done.
Patients can experience heat during the procedure. Immediately post there will be excessive swelling, visible discolouration, for some, the feeling of heat and possible inability to talk freely due to the local anaesthetic and feeling of numbness around the mouth.
The area treated will have Petroleum Jelly applied and the patient is then discharged later that same day. It’s essential to abide by the post-care treatment guidelines provided by Dr Oates in order to achieve results and fast recovery.
