CO₂RE

CO₂RE

The complexion of your skin, particularly our facial skin, is one of the first indicators of your age that everyone you interact with is exposed to. So, naturally, it is something that many people want to preserve for as long as possible. Unfortunately, many different factors like age, genetics, and environmental exposure work against perpetually youthful and perfect skin.

But even after those factors have done their part to create blemishing and wrinkling on your face, it is still possible to improve on and reduce the damage that has already been made. This is where the CO₂RE from Candela, a precise fractional CO2 laser system, comes into play.

If you would like to learn more about how CO₂RE treatments can help restore your complexion, schedule a consultation with our Santa Rosa or Larkspur offices by filling out our online contact form. We look forward to getting you going with your fractional laser treatment as soon as possible.

What Is CO₂RE?

There are two parts to CO₂RE treatments: fractional and resurfacing. Both components aim to improve the appearance of blemishing in your skin, but they achieve this goal in different ways. Skin resurfacing is a standard procedure that can be performed via laser (as this system does) or a chemical solution. By removing the top layer of damaged or dead skin, a fresh, healthy and vibrant layer is exposed, creating a natural glow.

The fractional part of the treatment looks to go deeper into your facial tissue. Through the system’s laser technology, small lesions are made throughout the skin, stimulating the natural healing process and boosting the production of collagen, a vital protein responsible for the texture and tautness of your skin.

Once the micro-lesions have been made, they serve as effective channels for the skin to absorb solutions full of ingredients explicitly compiled to address the appearance of the face. We offer this fractional treatment and light, medium and deep tissue levels to address a wide variety of skin concerns.

Am I a Candidate for CO₂RE Treatment?

If you experience any of these following conditions, you are likely a candidate for CO₂RE treatment:

• Fine lines or wrinkles
• Acne
• Acne scarring
• Hyperpigmentation
• Poor skin texture
• Sun damage
• Brown spots
• Other complexion issues

Anyone considering this treatment should have realistic expectations about what CO₂RE can achieve. This is done best by reviewing plenty of before-and-after photos and doing ample research about whether this is the right procedure for you.

The best way to know if you are a candidate for this procedure is to schedule a consultation with our office in Marin or Sonoma County.

What Kind of Results Can I Expect from CO₂RE?

The CO₂RE system can improve the complexion and structure of your facial tissue, ridding yourself of features that previously caused insecurity and loss of self-confidence. You can expect to see most results within a few days in more minor treatments, but it could take upward of two weeks of healing before some more extensive treatment results become noticeable.
