At The Cohen Clinic for Plastic Surgery in McLean, Virginia, we offer CO2 laser treatment to help patients achieve smoother, more youthful skin. Over time, skin can develop fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, and uneven texture due to aging, environmental factors, or genetics. Dr. Cohen utilizes advanced CO2 laser technology to resurface the skin, improving its texture and tone for a more radiant and rejuvenated appearance.
CO2 laser skin rejuvenation is a cosmetic procedure designed to address many skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, and uneven pigmentation. The CO2 laser removes the outer layers of damaged skin, stimulates collagen production, and promotes the growth of new, healthy skin cells. This process helps to tighten the skin and improve its overall texture, leaving patients with a refreshed complexion. The treatment is minimally invasive and can be customized to target specific areas or treat the entire face.
Ideal candidates for CO2 laser skin rejuvenation are individuals looking to improve their skin’s appearance by reducing signs of aging, sun damage, or scarring. This treatment is suitable for people with various skin types and tones who are healthy and have realistic expectations about the treatment. During your consultation, Dr. Cohen will assess your skin concerns and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan to help you achieve a smoother, more youthful complexion.
CO2 laser skin rejuvenation is an outpatient procedure typically performed under local anesthesia or light sedation, depending on the treatment area’s size. During the procedure, Dr. Cohen will use the CO2 laser to carefully remove the outer layers of damaged skin, targeting specific areas or treating the entire face. The laser’s precision ensures minimal damage to the surrounding tissue, promoting faster healing and reducing the risk of scarring. The procedure usually takes 30 to 90 minutes and patients can return home the same day.
Recovery from CO2 laser skin rejuvenation varies depending on the depth of the treatment, but most patients experience redness, swelling, and mild discomfort for the first few days. Dr. Cohen will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing, and most patients can resume normal activities within one to two weeks. As the skin heals, patients will notice a significant improvement in texture, tone, and overall appearance. Fine lines, wrinkles, and scars will be diminished, making the skin appear smoother and more youthful. Results continue to improve over the next several months as collagen production increases.
At The Cohen Clinic patients receive more than just rejuvenating surgical and cosmetic treatments. Dr. Justin Cohen takes the time to truly understand his patients and their unique goals. He gives honest recommendations and believes every result should be natural and personalized.
