CO2 Laser Resurfacing for Younger, Healthier Skin

During laser skin resurfacing in Palm Springs, using a CO2 laser, very short pulses (ultra-pulse) of light energy are delivered to vaporize the upper layers of the skin. The energy emitted is controlled to precisely remove the skin with minimal collateral damage. The process stimulates the skin’s collagen production, leading to an enhanced structure and firmness of the skin. Board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon Dr. Sofonio offers CO2 laser resurfacing at his accredited Surgery Center in Rancho Mirage, CA.

CO2 Laser Resurfacing Procedure

Prior to the laser skin resurfacing in Palm Springs, we will apply anesthesia on the area that will be treated. For partial resurfacing, we may use local anesthesia, but for full facial resurfacing procedures, we may administer IV sedation or general anesthesia.

Full skin treatments may take 30 minutes to an hour. An overnight stay at the hospital is not necessary, so you can leave the clinic following your treatment.

CO2 Laser Resurfacing Post-Treatment Care

After your treatment, Dr. Sofonio will instruct you on the appropriate wound care to the resurfaced area of your skin to protect it from infection and irritation. Common side effects after the procedure include swelling and redness. These are normal reactions and usually disappear within a few weeks. More rarely, acne breakouts and other skin issues may occur. Once your skin heals, these side effect will resolve. Before you leave the clinic, we will provide you with instructions on proper wound care. We advise you to stay indoors to avoid exposure to allergens, sunlight, and pollutants that can irritate and infect the skin for the first several days post procedure. This post-treatment care will ensure the best results from laser skin resurfacing Palm Springs has to offer.
