EXPECT DRAMATIC RESULTS
Your physician will discuss your treatment needs with you during your consult. The results will vary depending on your age, degree of sun damage and skin type, as well as what parameters your physician uses. However, patients who have had the eCO2 procedure, report significant changes in only a single treatment.

Immediately After
The laser creates micro- ablated columns to stimulate cells. The surrounding healthy tissue promotes rapid healing.
2 Days Post
Skin is healing creating new collagen during wound healing process.
Post 14 Days
Outer layer of skin is completely healed and collagen remodeling continues for up to nine months.
The Healing Process
Immediately following treatment you will experience some swelling and redness. If your clinician uses advanced modes during the procedure, the area treated will appear red for a longer period of time. In most cases, this issue resolves in one to three weeks. During that time, with the exception of the first few days post-treatment, you may apply makeup to tone down the redness. Normal activities may be resumed, in most cases, within 5-7 days. Laser energy micro-ablates tissue leaving small micro-wounds bridged by healthy tissue. Your body’s natural healing process stimulates the creation of new tissue and collagen for a younger more youthful appearance of the skin.
