Acne scars can have a huge negative impact on self-confidence and aesthetics. Dr. Shree Harsh at Pinnacle Plastic Surgery and Women's Health Clinic in Lucknow offers CO2 laser treatment to reduce the appearance of acne scars to give you the skin you deserve. Read on to learn more about the procedure, results, risks and recovery.
CO2 treatment, also known as carbon dioxide laser therapy or ‘fractional laser skin resurfacing’ is a procedure that uses laser energy to target areas of the skin affected by acne scars. The laser energy vaporises the top layers of the dermis and ablate deep tissue. This triggers the body’s natural healing response which then helps to improve skin texture and tone.
CO2 treatment for acne scars is suitable for people with any skin type who have difficulty concealing acne scars with makeup. In addition, a thorough consultation and physical examination with Dr. Shree Harsh will determine if the patient is suitable for this procedure.
Dr. Shree Harsh is a board-certified plastic surgeon who has experience in performing various facial aesthetic procedures including CO2 treatment for acne scars. He is professional and has a reassuring presence with a special flair for achieving natural-looking results. Nobody will ever know you had something done!
CO2 treatment is typically performed under local anesthetic to help make the whole experience more comfortable and bearable for the patient. During the procedure, a handheld device is used to direct the laser’s energy to the specific areas in order to ablate uneven skin. The entire procedure typically takes around 45 to 90 minutes, depending on the case.
You can expect to see immediate results in the sense that your skin tone, texture, and pigmentation should be greatly improved from the get-go. In addition, post-procedure, you are likely to experience more collagen growth which will help to reduce the redness and the appearance of your acne scars. Generally, you can expect to see the effects of the treatment for up to one year.
This may vary depending on the severity of your case, but generally, it is normal to experience some degree of discomfort, redness, swelling, and feeling of tightness after the procedure. In addition, you will need to keep your skin away from the sun for a few days and wear sunscreen to avoid sunburn and further damage.
CO2 treatments for acne scars are associated with minimal risks and complications, provided they are performed by a qualified professional such as Dr. Shree Harsh. Risks may include mild redness, crusting and swelling, infection, hyperpigmentation, and scarring. Speak to Dr. Shree Harsh in your consultation if you want to learn more.
